[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 735388, member: 19522"] Thank you all so very much for your kindness, understanding and prayers. Thank you so much, Crazy, hugs back to you.Your posts are always so comforting and wise. Beta, I so understand your grief and am sorry for your aching Mommas heart. I am trying to reflect on the blessings I had raising my two. They were a joy as youngsters. Oftentimes, parents are plagued with difficult challenges with their children, health issues, physical and mental illness. We had many wonderful moments. I am hoping that one day they will remember the good times and use that to climb up and out of the grip of drugs. I wish you peace as you travel this road along with many others who have lost relationship with their adult children. I reflect on the story of the prodigal son. Hopefully our feverent prayers will guide them to find their true selves, and be restored. Thank you for your kindness and for reaching out to me. Swot, I am so very glad you are here and continue to help people with your wisdom and love. I feel your presence and light. Mahalo nui from the bottom of my heart. Re, you are such a blessing. Your name reminds me that as long as my two are struggling, I have a continuous mission to work on stabilizing my life, working on my peace. Your love and care shines through all of your posts. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, compassion and own experiences. Thank you Albie. We have our work cut out for us in walking this journey. I so appreciate your presence and love. Thank you Pasa. Yes, I am rattled. I am slowly coming round to hope that Rain will use whatever is happening in her life to seek help. I have to stop from the catastrophic thought process and calm myself down with faith that all rests with God. It takes work. I will be okay. Guys, I have to say that your encouragement and understanding have helped to lift me. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Much aloha to you all. (((Hugs))) Leafy Ps. Confession.
