Stay

Last Sunday my son Richard called and told us he had something to tell us. He is in Law School in North Carolina and his marriage has been extremely emotionally abusive. He proceeded to tell us that he had left her. 

My first words were, Where are you?.  He answered that he was staying in his Elders Quarm Presidents basement.  This was such a relief to me. 

We talked ... He needed money ... After he spent 2 weeks in a mental hospital a year ago, I told him if he left her we would help him... We sent money right then... He feels bad... Like a failure... But, as a bystander, I was so relieved... I was also sad to or him...

When I went to pray that night, my first words were, Stay with him. I felt blessed that he was safe, and working on the right path. 

Law School has been a nightmare for him and me. There's only one more semester. 

I hope he Stays at school.

That he Stays away from his wife.

That angles Stay with him. 

Sometimes being a parent is all about hope. 

But hope is everything. We just keep praying, and hoping. 

Believe that He is....
