Ryan is HOME!!!

My son,Ryan,Is home after living in Chicago for a few years.He is a recovering herion addict.He rode the horse as he would say for 8 years.When he lived here before moving to Chicago...we went throught some vert harrowing experiences.He was not a user that nodded off...no...quite the opposite.He rearranged things...he spit alot...he paced...and threaten to kill himself and take me along with him.He damaged everyone who loved him...but mostly he damaged himself.He has been in more rehabs,,,halfway houses...three quarter houses than I can count on both hands.He lied..stoled...anything to get his hands on his dope.He has been homeless.He has been nothing and everything.We love him....and THANK GOD he has been clean for almost a year...thats why he is home.He is 27 and he says realizes how much time hes wasted being a drug addict...that he could have done something different...but he also says it not to late to get started now...on his new life.He is almost like the boy...now man...that he use to be...only now he has scars inside and out.I don't let myself think about the places he has been or the things he has seen.If he wants to talk I will listen and not condemn him .He did'nt want to come home till he had a year in recovery.He tells us he is sorry...we tell him the past is the past ..we can and will move on now.I love him so very much.RYAN IS HOME
