Update on AS
 

Well today is the day.

AS is in court.
Supposedly he told me the case would be thrown
out because it dragged on so long.

I'm thinking this is not so.

Otherwise he would have been on his way home by now.

So, I guess the judge is deciding, not a jury.
The judge will return at 1:30 p.m. with a verdict.
And this is for the phone/drug/selling charge.

So...son calls GF, GF calls me, AS calls me.

He said he might go to jail today, I say..."Yep"
He says well, I have to see GF and baby.
I say...."I was under the belief you saw both of them yesterday, no?"
He says...yeah, but I THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO BRING THEM DOWN HERE.

I say...."Nope, I have a Drs. appt. today"

He says...okay fine....... and hung up on me.


This is a terrible thought, but I am seriously hoping he does get jail time, then maybe she has a chance for her and the baby to move on.

Fingers crossed, one way or another, not my decision.
All in his H.P.'s hands.

And I'm as calm as a bug in a rug....):

I respect you for your strength. Please keep us updated.
Love,
Holly

What beautiful words to my ears!!!!!!!!!!!

:ghug :ghug :ghug

PS. How is that bouncing baby moose-let boy doing?

I hope everything works out for the best, whatever happens you got our support. Just enjoy to baby.

Aw Moose, :You_Rock_

How is little moose?

Ditto.

Mema Moosie, I want to be just like you.

Good for you
(((Hugs)))

(((Moose))) - no matter what happens with AS, YOUR recovery is awesome.

His consequences seem to include jail and not seeing little Aiden and the gf. YOU, however, will get to continue on your merry way, showing Aiden and his mom, all the wonderful things in life, and that there IS life after addiction.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

You are one of my heroes! Wish I knew you when I was going through stuff with my son the last 15 years.

You are just a great example of the program working. We can have a good life - make that a great life - whether or not the addicts in our life ever get sober.

As you say "Let go or be dragged".

Love in recovery,
Jody Hepler

Here's the verdict:

manatory 2 years.

He has 10 days, then goes back to court, and off to jail he goes.

I spoke with GF, she's upset, which I can sympathize with, but I also told her he needs to face the consequences of his actions, and that his H.P. has a much bigger plan than we could ever have for him.


(I get the baby tomorrow for the day...hip hip hooray!)

Yes, HP does indeed have a plan for him.

Please give little moose-let several kisses for me, okay? :)

:ghug :ghug

His HP is much better at this than you or I ever thought of being and I too believe this is all part of a bigger plan. When we can't see what's around the next corner, sometimes we just gotta travel in blind faith.

Your recovery is shining and it's an inspiration to all of us. :hug:

Give Baby Moose a big hug from Auntie Ann and maybe give his mama one too, just because we know hard this must be for her too.

:Val004::Val004:

(((Moose)))

Maybe THIS time he'll "get" it? It might be a little different, missing all those precious "first" milestones in his son's life...who knows?

Fortunately, that baby will be surrounded by lots and lots of love, and his mama is blessed to have you in her life.

As always, I am in awe of your recovery.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

Good for you. Stay strong. He's in hot water now, but maybe that's what it will take, huh? None of us can see the Big Picture, and that's probably for the best in the long run. The further away my addict gets, closer I get to my HP. Think maybe there's some connection there? I've often thought maybe that's why these things happen. Anyway, keep on keeping on. :)

Moose,
You sound really good. You are a great example to the rest of us--being able to feel peach in such chaos. You have realized that his actions to not determine your happiness. He has gotten a great opportunity to learn from his mistakes. I'm glad that you get to see your beautiful moosebaby tomorrow.

I glad it worked out the way you know it needed to.
<<<<<<<<HUGS>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi Moose. I so belive in the HP now and the plan for all our sons. You'll have a great day with that gorgeous new little guy tomorrow. He is so handsome. Maybe this time your son will have some good soul searching moments away while he thinks about his son and the moments he's missing. It's sad but just maybe a wake up call for him.....give the lil guy a hug for me.....smiles, Bonnie

We can hope that the 4th time's a charm...:)


Anyway, little mooselet is getting little puffy cheeks and I weighed him last week and he's up to 6.5 pounds!

I bought him a rabbit hat, so I'll take some pics tomorrow..while I'm spoiling him silly...

I just love my lil grandangels so here's to a fun-filled day for you. It certainly lifts my spirits to be around them. Have fun! Smiles, Bonnie

((((Moose)))))
I think you may be in on HP's plan :) :You_Rock_

Have fun with the little mooselet...can't wait to see pics.

Dear Diane, Maybe this is exactely what your son needs.
Enjoy your little grandson, they are a joy.
Love,
Diane

Somebody said ditto! X 2 !!!

it is a time when you will not have to orry about who he may take advanage of. i understand how you feel. now it is hope it is his time thing. prayers moose for you & your son,g.f. & the baby. enjoy baby moose they are little such a short time.

(((Moose))) Sending hugs & wet baby kisses your way. I hope the plan from your sons HP goes as intended. Bunny hat? Gotta see it..please, pleasse !

Two year vacation from addiction - how nice. I'm most happy for the grandbaby - those first few years they are so impressionable. How is your DIL holding up? Isnt she trying to go back to school?

She IS in college.
And trying very hard to get into a program in a nearby college where the baby would reside with her,year round, while she attends classes. I was thinking previously it wouldn't be a good idea because the college is very close to where my AS lives, but now...with him away for 2 years, it all seemed to work out. God works in strange ways if we just back off and let him.


I have taken her last week to get her temp drivers license, and hopefully Mr. Moose said he would drive with her. She had a temp before but it expired.
Her mom works during the day, so I'm kind of helping her out if she needs to go somewhere. I'm thinking that's okay.

I had the little fella here yesterday,
then son and GF came over later, and
he fed and held his son for a long time.
Son doesn't seem too upset over returning to jail, although I'm sure his insides are churning.

Already he is putting in his order. He would like a T.V. for Christmas.
I said any money I find, is going towards the needs of your son.

Hugs to you all.......

(((Moose)))

awww, little baby moose is just getting cuter and cuter!!!

I'm glad you put the squash on AS's request for a TV:) Not that you had any problems saying "no" before, but it surely has to be easier, now, with this little bundle of joy to spoil with any extra cash, right?:)

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

I'm proud of his GF - seems like she is getting a grasp that she needs to make changes in her own life in order to take care of her child.

goodness, it amazes me that they still put in their shopping lists no matter what happens. my son put in his order for a new guitar last time i saw him because his "guitar is so messed up." what he forgets is that his guitar is messed up because he threw it at me. lol.

beautiful baby!!!

susan

Thank you.
We think he's adopted
