Feeling thankful for potential miracles!
I posted this morning in response to Love me Now and present tense. I said that even if my son didn't tell me he loved me today that I chose to believe he does. We've had very little contract over the last 7 months since he relapsed on meth. I've kept my message consistent and have told him I will support his recovery but not his addiction. After posting this morning I said a prayer and thanked God for helping me rebuild my strength. I told God I trusted his plan and appreciated all that was good in my life. Then I got in the bath to prepare for a motorcycle ride and movie with my husband. When I got out there was a message waiting for me...sent at 9:30 am. My son wrote " happy mothers day. I hope you have a great day. Tomorrow I will have 2 weeks clean and I want you to know I love you". Wow. I recognize this may or may not be true but I seized the moment...responded with "thank you so much. That is the best news I could hear. Keep up the good work and know that I love you too". And then went and enjoyed my day! Even if he's not being honest I wanted him to see the support waiting when he chooses recovery. I'm also really proud of myself because I didn't bombard him with questions per usual. This is his work to do. How he does it is his choice as well. What a difference in how I feel. Cautiously optimistic but what a gift today was!

It may or may not be true that he has been clean for two weeks, but it is absolutely true that he loves you and was thinking of you and that's a beautiful thing. Thanks for your message of love and hope.
