Please pray for my Young GFG...

[lovemysons]

DIL called me a short while ago in hysterics.
She just talked to young GFG's attorney and was told that young GFG will likely be sentenced this next wednesday for 5 yrs in prison.

I am calmer now...so is dil.

She also said that young GFG had not been honest with his attorney about his alcohol use. Now attorney will talk to young GFG again tomorrow regarding this...and hopefully be able to sway the prosecutor into giving young GFG a sentence to Prison Rehab like oldest GFG was in at one time.

DIL would like she and I to go to Amarillo and be there for the sentencing to support young GFG. We will find out on Monday if we will be able to actually testify to the judge re: young GFG's character.

I thought I would collapse at first...but I am okay. I thought DIL had lost the baby when she first called me this afternoon...she was so upset and crying.

She told me that the other night Grandson wanted to write a letter to daddy. He scribbled something and DIL asked him what he wrote he said "Daddy I love you and miss you please come home and give sister and I hugs and kisses forever".

Meanwhile I have opened up my "Today a Better Way" book from Families Anonymous. Page 224 reminds me that... "When I allow fear and insecurity to dominate my thinking, I become an obstacle to my own growth and the growth of my children. My Higher Power really does guide others as well as me."

Young GFG is my most Sensitive child. He loved to play legos when he was little with me...I can see us on a Saturday morning with hundreds of lego pieces spread out on the living room floor directions in front of us as we set out to build spaceships or robots, etc.
Since young GFG was around 10 yrs old he has been obsessed with the weather. He would rather watch the weather channel than cartoons then...He still is obsessed with weather except now he can read elaborate weather models from all over the world.
Young GFG loves the winter snow...Loves the mountains of Colorado.
Young GFG loves His mamma, his wife and his children with all his heart. (tears)

Please pray for him.
Thank you,
LMS

Oh I am so sorry. Q loves weather too and watches the weather channel. He also loves building legos. I can picture it and can feel it when you describe it. He is more than his gfg-ness... he is your beautiful son. I am sorry he has such a harsh time ahead. That seems a long time. I hope it does not go down like that but if it does I am glad you have a relationship with the mommy of his babies and his kids...

That will be of comfort to him.

I will be thinking of you. Praying for peace in your family. I pray too that he can be in the rehab program there... that sounds much more appropriate. HUGS, Dee

{{{hugs}}} - I am with you in spirit and we can lean on each other. One day. he will come around and he will have the memories of those lego filled afternoons to fall back upon - because they are a part of the strong foundation you gave him. Believe it - I know I do and we need to hold on to that.

Oh, my friend, I am so saddened by your post. I'm sure you are struggling to wrap your head around this possibility...but there is still some hope that he will get appropriate placement and help to turn his life around. Prayers are being sent your way and as always I hope for the best for your family. As always, DDD

I'm praying for all of you. My heart is breaking for you as well. (((hugs)))

Thank you all...You have no idea how much it means to me that you all are praying for my young GFG. Please no matter who replies please just take a moment and say a prayer for him. He is a good person with a sensitive soul...He feels so much more deeply than my other 2 children. I know he is hurting and scared.

DIL will be over in a bit...Her mom is watching the kids for us. She and I are very good friends now. We need each other.

On a somewhat positive note...DH and oldest GFG think that my young GFG will only do around 2 yrs not the full 5 yrs.

Buddy, Please oh please don't fear the worst for your GFG. He is still a little guy and you have been so very Proactive in getting him the help he needs while he is young.

Thank you all so much for caring about my son. He is a special person. One day he may fully walk into the light ya know, and be healed or healing from his addictions and Bipolar Disorder.
I am feeling alot of self-blame for both at the moment.
May G-ds power be greater than the genetic damage done to my young GFG.

Thank you, that is really sweet. I am not worried for that at this time, I simply can really imagine the feeling of those good times, playing legos and smiling as he watches the weather channel (everyone thinks it is so funny because my grandpa used to do that, and so they called Q an old man...little did they understand it was his autism stuff, lol).... They are people with unique interests and complex personalities and they are loved for their whole beings first--outside of the gfg stuff. I can imagine you thinking of those special times and that it must break your heart he is where he is now.

Prayer has been said and I will continue. This board has actually adjusted my prayers, they are not so hit and miss anymore. I believe it has helped me for one...and I hope the collective thoughts/prayers/whatever one chooses to send to the universe==do help support our GFGs.
