The Best Mother's Day Ever

The day of all days.
Having my son back, clean and stable.
Just for today.
Lunch together.
Kids home after Mother's Day with their own Mom
bringing Grandma a flower.
 Like a professional gardener...my mother's day present
working in my back garden....so out of control since Granddaddy died.
 All to work...Lynsey furminating Zoe
 Kids helping their daddy
Dylan blowing..
Oh, me of little faith.
Today, I picked up my son for lunch.
He was is such good shape.
A wonderful time sitting outside eating in Carolina Blue. 
He came back to the  house and did gardening for me.
I am so happy.
My girl called several times. Face time is awesome
A lovely plant from my XDIL and the children.
Peace in my soul.

I was wondering if my decisions were correct...when on the road,
a Bluebird crossed right before my window.
That was Granddaddy telling me all was right in my world.
My boy is stable on Methadone. 
It costs $87 dollars a week...no sliding scale.
So if a homeless and poor addict wants to get clean and has no money
tough luck in America.
Just for today, I have my son back.
For Mother's Day or any day...that is priceless.

Such a lovely post. Congratulations to your son for choosing life, sorry that sounds patronising and it's not meant to.
Hugs

Plant the reality of this lovely day deep into your heart and mind that you might take it out and hold it again and again as you relive and treasure it. I'm so pleased for each of you.
