hi everyone.i was watching the olympics last night and the proctor and gamble commercial that they have dedicated to moms came on. dont know if any of you have seen it. its amazing and it made me cry...as does pretty much anything these days.my son, tyler was the number one junior athlete in bermuda. he was a runner, cyclist and triathlete. he competed all over the US. he could have been an olympian. some days i just find it so hard to reconcile what i have to what i wanted. it took me over a year and a half to get pregnant with tyler and he is my only child and our family's only grandson. i was in labour 37hours....he was always a stubborn little bugger. never in a million years did i ever dream that this beautiful little boy, the one who held my heart, would suffer such emotional pain and torment growing up that it would lead him to drugs and ultimately to crime. but here i am and there he is.at the end of the commercial it says "thanks mom......for teaching us that falling only makes us stronger". well moms, falling makes us stronger too.....so dont stop cheering, dont stop hoping, dont stop believing and thanking God for your miracle for you and your child.happy sunday and God bless you.
So sorry, for what you are going through, so sad to see someone with such potential end up in such a bad situation. It must also be so much harder with him being the only child and grandchild, wow that's a terrible blow. I thank God for my other two children who know its hard on me but try to keep me happy. My son who is in prison was a happy baby and a happy kid, but at puberty he also became very difficult, with emotional and mental issues but always refused therapy and medications. Now he is also in prison due to drugs. This drug problem is epidemic in the U.S. I hope some day there is a solution.....
God bless and happy Sunday to you too.
