My son is coming in on Wednesday for a meeting on Thursday with his (public defender) attorney. He wants to go by himself because he "created this problem" and he wants "to take care of it". That's a bit scary to me, but I am willing to let him go alone. You can rest assured we will be talking to the District Attorney again about the case. My hope is that he will be allowed to stay in Houston and report to them here from time to time, or whatever it takes to clear him. But this is one of those places where Mama just has to let go and trust (again!) He has made a lot of progress this last year or so. Dear God, may he continue to move forward and find his way in this world.
Thinking about you today. Remember that no matter what happens, good or bad, he's made his progress this year. He may still have unpaid consequences to face, but perhaps now he has to strength to face whatever comes.

Being Mom is so hard.
ReplyDeletePraying for you. Sounds like he is taking responsibility for his actions!
Love the pic! ATC?
ReplyDeletePlease let him go by himself. You have come to far to begin to enable him now sweetie.
Joining you in prayer for your son and that he will listen to God's whispering in his ear.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
ReplyDeleteAmen, amen, amen.
Yes, let go, Mama. You've done your job and it sounds like he's truly become a man. He has to fill his own shoes now...
ReplyDeleteAnd that doesn't mean that you aren't still there for him and important to him ... he still needs you! ;-)
Today is the day--A quick thanks to all of you for your support and prayers.
ReplyDeleteIt will go well, Annie, and it sounds, from my perspective, as if your son is facing himself. That's good. In my prayers..........
