[QUOTE="DDD, post: 45964, member: 35"] A couple of parents have gotten "the" ultimate call. Our hearts break for them. We got a 3 AM call saying our boy fell three floors off a balcony, landed on his head and was being airlifted to the nearest Trauma hospital...two hours away. None of us can prevent "the call" as the behaviors are totally completely out of our control and it is not physically or legally possible to keep our kids locked in our homes. Even though we are truly under daily stress and in emotional pain...we do thank God that our son "could" eventually end up OK. on the other hand even though we practice detachment and repeat the Serenity Prayer, the sense of loss prevades our daily life. "Why does it have to be this way?" There is no answer to that question within the mortal experience. We focus on the Serenity Prayer.........and try to believe that God has a plan. DDD [/QUOTE]
