[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675480, member: 18958"] Thank you Quicksand. I had thought my son was homeless in Oregon. He called me just now to say he is back a few hours from me, and settled in a new situation. He was upbeat and with his loyal friend. He wished me merry christmas and was happy we were going to M's family for christmas eve. I feel so grateful to know that he is safe, with a friend. There is of course the undercurrent of fear....for all of the things that do not enter on his radar, that are important to me, and for his preoccupations that I feel are destructive. I try to tell myself, and him that all of this is what a life is about. Learning how to live. And that all of us are doing the same thing, if we are blessed. Learning how to live. It is when we stop engaging in a way that stops learning, is when we are in trouble. Not how we live, per se. If that makes any sense. It is so consoling that we are all together here. I feel blessed in that. Quicksand, there are still almost 2 whole days for your son to make contact for Christmas. Maybe he will. Many of us have lived through holidays without our children. Like you. The love is always there. The important thing. Your son knows that. He always remembers. At the moment you remember him, he is there. He knows that. Merry Christmas, Quicksand, and all.
