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
