The Promises

My 13 year old son, (who has been living with his grandma on another island because I am working nights and he needs a fresh start in the school system)
was visiting with me last week.
We are like two magnets that can repel each other, we are so alike it is scary.
I did get to experience the promises last week; I got some healing from this damn disease, and I was able to make some amends to him, and he made amends to me for the past.....
He has a road to walk now, and I tried to make him fully aware that from now on, he has to pay the consequences for his actions, not his dad or I, so for him to tread carefully through the walk of life....
He is a handsome little boy with a heart of gold that has been hurt...
I want nothing more for that boy than inner peace, if he gets some of that, then the world is his oyster.
I left him with the instructions to look up the word charisma...he has it.

Anyway, thought that I would share. It is a direct result of cleaning up my act that I got a glimpse of peace with him. It is a direct result of having faith in this program, and not using no matter what...
So if you are feeling low on the faith meter, just stick it out, do the next right thing.
Now I get to go work on the rest of the wreckage....LOL.

Thank you for that. I think we all needed to hear it. You are an inspiration!

Kerry,

Thanks, that was beautiful. Your son's fortunate, regardless of the wreckage of the past -- that adversity will make him stronger, especially with a sober and loving mother behind him. I did some healing with my daughter last night as well, and have been thinking about it (gratefully) all day. Like you, it was made possible -- at least in part -- by my coming from a place of honesty and sobriety. M.
Lb- You are what is known as a "loving mother". Your story warmed my heart. Keep going. I don't mean to be a big baby or anything. My own Mom died last January, and I wish she was here...
Kerry - in your posts you come across as a very kind, compassionate and strong person. Your son is very lucky to have you. I can tell you feel the same way about him. Jim
