Sometimes things do not always happen the way we want them to happen. Today I wanted to talk to my son so badly on my birthday. I had just shared this with a coworker. I had told her how much it meant that all of you guys had wished me happy birthday on the board and sent me the neatest birthday cards via emails..and I had even gotten some long distance calls...but I sure would like to speak to my son...well, about 2 seconds after I said this the phone rang...it was not my son but it was an ex patient...a kid who we thought would never get off drugs and alcohol...he had been thru treatment about 25 times....he called to tell me I had been on his mind all day and he wanted to tell me he loved me ...and to tell me it was his 2 year sobriety birthday...and to let me know I was one of the people who had helped him the most when he was in treatment...God doesn't always give us exactly what we ask for, but I know He is always on time....and He gives us what we need....I love you guys for giving me a special birthday...GOd bless you..smiles,nancyc
