Daniel

It has been a while since my last post. Life is so hectic there isn't much time to write, plus I hate to sound as if I am whining our ungrateful.
My life is very good in all but one area. I have the best best best husband in the world. He stands beside me no matter what is going on. I love that he is always on my side and that if I am falling apart he tries so hard to hold me together.
My oldest daughter is GREAT! She is going to school to become a teacher. I know that she will make a difference in lots of children's lives. She is so loving, so caring. She is getting married in a couple of months. I know that they will have a beautiful life together but still I worry about them and will miss them both so much. You cant even imagine how proud I am of her.
My youngest is just about the smartest little girl in the world! She is going to be 13 next month. We are thinking of having a formal murder mystery dinner to celebrate. I think it will be alot of fun. She is a great kid. I love that she is so smart and athletic. 8Th grade here she comes. I see great things for her.
Then there is Daniel who is also a great kid. He is just a great kid who has made some bad choices. Unfortunately he is caught in this downward spiral that he is having such a hard time getting out of. I know that he really wants to make good choices. Right now he has a great attitude. He is so great when he is clean. He talks to me and he smiles alot. We play games together and he really pays attention. He really is a smart, nice, caring young man. But then he comes home, he starts making bad choices again and that sweet smart young man disappears. This not so nice guy takes his place. This guy cusses, yells, hits things, hates being around me, he just cant stand to look at me. It is devastating to feel that your own child, that once sweet little beautiful baby cant even stand your existence.
He comes home in a few weeks. Please pray for his recovery. As I said, right now he is doing soooo great, but it is going to be very hard for him when he comes home to the same environment, where everyone that he calls friend is making bad choices. If you know Daniel please be a friend to him, please love him despite his bad choices. He really needs some good strong people in his corner. People that can help him defeat his drug addiction. I know it is up to him to begin to fight, but if he is giving it his all then I will be right beside him with my boxing gloves on to. Thank you for caring enough to read this.
Pray for us. Please. I know God is listening. I know that he wants good to come from this bad situation. I know that he has plans for Daniel and also for our community.
