A Love Letter To My Special Son

Hi, everyone

I just came back from the funeral for the 20 year old son of a woman I went to grade school with. His mom said that he had just had the most wonderful day but then an accident took him home to be with God a lot sooner than we wish. Actually, he was her adopted son but you NEVER would have known any different. She is a amazing woman and mother, and passed on her values, her love, and her kindness to her son. I felt inspired to write this letter to my son because I feel very, very blessed to have another chance to have my son with me. I share it with you....hope you and yours have a wonderful, blessed Christmas and a New Year filled with peace, contentment, love, joy, and strength to fight or deal with addiction as the case may be. God bless!

A Love Letter to My Special Son

This year, God has given me the most wonderful Christmas gift He could possibly give me He gave my son back to me. You see, some how, some way, you were lured into this horrible drug, and slowly and very surely it was killing you not just physically and mentally but also spiritually. The even sadder part of it was that this drug had to power to make you not even care.

I am so grateful.beyond what my words can express.that God has given us another chance to keep you in our lives.not just physically but mentally and spiritually too. You see, what I had come to realize that just having you physically here wasnt good enoughit wasnt having the true you. Its very hard to put into words, but had you still been here physically (as a person controlled by an addiction), YOU wouldnt actually have still been here.just a shell of you. Thats what I HATE most about the drug.the fact that it eats at the person you are inside. Thank God that once that drug was removed, you were reborn . physically, mentally, and most importantly spiritually!

Through all of this, our love for you never wavered. We realized that you were no longer in control.the heroin was. We felt very powerless in the situation.because we realized our love and support wasnt enough to pull you out of this. All we could do was pray for you to have the strength to fight it and pray for wisdom to know what we should do to try to help you. Im not saying what we did was perfect, but what we did was completely done out of love and concern for you. Because, my dear son, you mean the world to us as your sisters. There is NOTHING we wouldnt do to make you happy and keep you safe. We love you JUST AS YOU ARE and we are so very proud of your heart.your kind and gentle heart. I hope and pray that you NEVER let that horrible drug hurt your beautiful heart again!

Love always,
Mom

Thanks for sharing.

It is funny, but as a parent, I feel like I have my kids back now that I am clean (OK, it's only been since Monday, but its a start).

Thanks again for reminding us of what really matters.
