" So today I am choosing to be happy to have my son in my life. I am happy to have shared this time with him. It has been a gift. "
Way to go Cathy !!!!
It is a tough one but we get closer to serenity when we accept what is and
live in the now. It seems you've been able to do this for the most part during your son's stay.
When they are addicts we can forget or no longer see all the wonderful aspects
of them. He came and you saw. You needed him and he's been available, caring and
present...what a gift. No matter how he lives, when you needed him most, He is being a good son...bravo.
You have just a couple of weeks left to heal before returning to work.
Hopefully, you are feeling well enough to have lunch at the beach or a walk in the sand
and have a little fun together before your son has to leave.
I had the same operation in 2002. Eventually, you will feel good as new in all areas.!!
Even your libido will return, which was my worst fear.
Sounds like you are on the mend physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Take care, my friend.
