[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 724670, member: 19522"] Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Lil, you have been through so much. We have all been through the wringer with our kids choices. Thank you for the hugs, thoughts and prayers. It is an immeasurable comfort to know people understand the pain of it. I would not wish this on anyone, and am in awe of all of the kind folks here, enduring so much on this journey. Thank you Enmeshed. You know, I am so grateful for the life I had with hubs. I am trying to reflect on the good times, to be thankful for what we had together. Even with my two. Still lighting that proverbial candle in the window, hoping they will find their way through this. Not knowing, and knowing. Both hard places to be. RN, my heart goes out to you, prayers for strength as you visit your son. Thank you LBL. This is the hard part. The realization that drugs drive the bus. I keep saying to myself that my girls in their right mind, would not be doing these things. Somewhere in there, they must be just as shocked at themselves as we are. I hope and pray that your son will continue to take steps to set himself free of it, LBL. Good. That is a wonderful start. When you are ready, you will find movement and exercise. I am glad you are taking care of you! Thank you LBL, likewise for you and hubs. I am thinking of you both. It is a difficult thing you are going through with your boy. Swot, you are the hero. Still here and sharing so much kindness and wisdom across the forum. You are a treasure of knowledge and love. Thank you Sam for thinking of my girl. I am sure you were shocked at the amount of homeless we have in our parks here. Certain areas are like refugee camps. It is so sad. I thank you for reaching out to me, even in your struggles with your ongoing battle. Thank you RE. Your posts have helped me so much along this journey. Your strength and ability to be thankful for the blessings you have, is a lighthouse shining brightly on the craggy rocks in the storm. Today is another day. I sit in the stillness of the morning, crisp cool air wafting through the window. Cloudless, dark skies filled with stars. It is a good time to be still, and reflect on [I]what I do have[/I]. I have my health. I have had, many, many beautiful moments in my life. "It is during our darkest moments, that we must focus to see the light." Aristotle I am so thankful for one more day, one more moment to breath and walk this earth. There are many who suffer through so much, yet find ways to carry on. Life is hard, and beautiful all at the same time. I pray that my grandchildren will strive for a better life. That my two will break free of drugs. It is all I can do at this moment, but, prayer is a powerful thing. Thank you all so much for your comfort and help. You are all bright shining stars helping one another to navigate through the darkness. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
