A gift

[mender1]

My grand daughter is coming to Missouri to live with me
she has found herself in trouble in Ohio and has burned all the bridges that was put in front of her.
She is 16 and is into drugs and the life that it brings
My daughter is at her end and this is my granddaughter's only hope at the time she is being released Monday from a safe house and has to be some where else or the state is going to take custody.
My daughter feel's I am her only hope.
I welcome her coming it will be good to have a part of home here with me but I also know where she is at and the tuff journey that lays ahead for both of us .
I am asking for prayer's
I must turn this one over.
My ex wife says this is the child I deserve and feel's also I am her only hope.
This is a gift for my heart

Hi Owen,
That truly is a gift hon.
You know you have my thoughts and prayers as this new adventure unfolds. Lil granddaughter is in my thoughts as well, if not more.

Love and light,

Hi Owen,

For some reason something told me to check across the hall and read todays post.

I will send you prayers for you and your granddaughter. I know this is going to be a tough road to go on in dealing with her problems, but you may just be the thing she needs in her life!
With your years of experience at what you went thru, and now you can teach her what you know on getting sober and more.
Good luck, and God Bless you .

((((((((((Owen))))))))) You've so much to share with her and offer her. Tis a good thing, Owen. You can show her a different way of life, ya know?

But you're right....it'll be a tough journey for the both of you. I can only share my experiences and hope they prove to guide people in their decision making. I'm the epitome of 'don't do what I did....do what I do today'. Unfortunately, that didn't work with my own child--he decided to explore the wide world of addictions. I didn't get to be the body that threw themself in front of the fast moving train. Perhaps one day he'll look in this direction. For today, I suspect he's not done. Breaks my heart to see him journeying where I've been, ya know? For today, I get to love him right where my feet are. Try as I might, I couldn't get a successful intervention done to interrupt the insanities. Someone else gets to get in his way today.

Your heart's good, Owen. You've a whole lot to offer the gal. Adolescence is an awesome time--it's also a frightening time. Scared the byjeepers outta me to watch a 17 year old boy make the decisions he was making, knowing that it wasn't anything I could control, try as I might. Let's hope that she's willing to let you help her--I'll be praying for the both of you, that's for certain.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. And WOW are you gonna be one busy fella!

Consider it done!!!!!

I wish you all the luck in the world, but I know, without doubt, its gonna take more than a simple fatalistic understanding.

Our H.P. will continue to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, if we completely rely upon HIM, and not our own understanding.

You definitely have my support, dude.
