[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 758565, member: 22817"] Thank you everyone for the hugs and kind words. I have been blessed over the years and I do still see many blessings even amongst the storm with my son. We were fortunate that when my children were young we were able to go on many family vacations and I look back to those special times. I remember my children smiling and having so much fun. I do remember when things started to change with my son and those trips hurt so I try not to look back at them. What I did today that brought me joy and smiles.... I took one of my co-workers home because she doesn't drive and I played for her the song by Casting Crowns - The Bridge- It immediately made me forget everything and I blared it for her and told her to listen to the words. I forgot how I loved to blare my Christian music when driving. Oh my, I can't sing but boy do I belt it out anyway. I think she seen a side of me she hadn't seen. Wow, how I forgot all the turmoil for that ride home. If I were to go on a vacation right now, I would love to go to Hawaii, Bahamas, St. Thomas, or somewhere along those lines. I was fortunate to be able to go to Hawaii with my daughter when she graduated high school. Such beautiful memories. The year prior to that her dream was to go to The Mall of America. We had a blast. I just love reminiscing on our fun times. It was a short trip there but so much fun. Really trying to hold back on giving my son my opinion for when he is released from treatment.. He mentioned his apartment today when he called and I asked if he was going back to that and he replied "I need to have another week or two to dry out before I make that decision". Trying to stay positive. Going to read my book now and walk on the treadmill. Thanks everyone for sticking by me through these tough times. Blessings to you all! [/QUOTE]
