Surrender to the pain Then learn to surrender to the good. It's there and more is on the way. Love God, Love Family, Love what you do. Love people, and learn to let them love you. And always keep loving yourself. No matter how good it gets, the best is yet to come!
Beyond Codependency
, Melody Beattie


It's done. It's in progress, the break has occurred and Mike is en route to the Dominican Republic. Of course, it was not smooth sailing....these people, the "escort service", will not give up on him even if they have to charter their own plane to the DR.  I'm reassured by talking to them of their commitment and experience, but this is painfully difficult!  

All I can do now is give it over to God...truly and completely.  A prayer for my son and my family, "Be with him today, Lord, work through the witness of these people to calm him and show him that our intentions are for the good.  Watch over them as they make their way down to Atlanta and ultimately to the DR.  I do believe this is Your plan.  Help me and Doug to focus on our own day..the trip to the wedding and help us to appreciate the love and support of our dearest friends.  I am grateful for that opportunity.  Be with Michelle as she travels...Matt as he travels...and Mike as well.  We're all so spread out! I must carry the family in my heart by faith and not by sight.  So that I can function, carry on, live, breathe, do, I ask you to help me today, Lord. Help me!  Amen"
