(((Betty))) Prayers for you and your son. Know he has a very special Mom who works very hard to help others stuggling with the devastating disease of alcoholism. Your time and wisdom of your ESH is very much appreciated.
Of course my dear friend. This morning, I had a moment with my HP , on your behalf. It is always so apparent how much you loved and adored that beautiful boy of yours. I beleive our loved ones are always with us, wiser and free er and sending us love and healing. He was blessed to have a mother who loved him so, love is always inspiring to others who get to witness it. Thank you for sharing yours. ((((Beautiful Betty)))).
I have 3 boys, my oldest was born in Sept 1966, the other is the middle one his name is the same as your son's, and my last that has given me so much heartache. It would be very hard to cope if I lost one of them. The memorial is beautiful, thank you for sharing a glimpse of his life. Prayers for him and you.
Betty, you are an inspiration to me, and an amazing role model of how to cope and deal with the horrible things that cross our paths. I admire you, and will pray for you and Stephen. Much appreciation, Lyne
Thank you Cathy.The loss of a child )no matter how old) is difficult, as you know . One of my friends said that a "Mom who had to gve one back" suffers greatly. Take care of yourself my Dear.
What a lovely tribute. And thank you for asking us for our prayers - you give so much here, every day - I am constantly touched and amazed by your grace, kindness, support and exemplifying the principles of Al-anon. May peace be with you, beautiful lady.
