I'm so sorry for your family, sorry for ...Sigh. I'm so sorry for your family, sorry for your mother. I can't imagine the hopelessness of not being able to snap your fingers and make your child better.<br /><br />My old roomate's brother was killed in Afghanistan over the weekend and I was having those same thoughts yesterday... looking at my son and praying that he will always be safe, that he will make the right decisions in his life. It's scary. <br /><br />I wish your brother the best, I hope he is able to beat the addiction.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371098551437891460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599543281434376678.post-11622722244716952452010-07-22T11:54:49.051-04:002010-07-22T11:54:49.051-04:00Oh honey.

Mine was going down a bad path and luckily at the age of 17 (my mom signed off) he went off to the Marines. Thank God. He's grown up and gotten more mature, because otherwise, who knows where he would have been.<br /><br />Just keep supporting him, and your mom and I pray he comes through this. <br /><br />What's scary for us as parents is all of the what ifs. I am scared to death I'll get cancer too and Ava will have to go through what I've been through. I'm scared she'll get hurt, I'm scared of so many things. But we will do our damndest to keep her safe and I don't know what more we can do.@JessEscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564630921806580046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599543281434376678.post-27128939249576126162010-07-22T11:09:25.662-04:002010-07-22T11:09:25.662-04:00I think about this a lot.

What if his life heads down some dark road? It's scary, and the thing I hold on to is that nothing could ever make me love him less. EVER. <br />A good friend of mine once told me "just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you". Our children may not always be who we hoped they would be, but it isn't bc they don't love us. And it's our job to see them through it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
