[QUOTE="mof, post: 696389, member: 20533"] Colleen, How can we not think of them? As a mother they are always a part of us, but only a part. I believe your work may make you feel close. You see the sad and the promising. When my son lay in the hospital with Trac marks up and down his arms and was lost, I was grateful that the nurses treated him as a human. Yes, they see it all the time, one male nurse told him a story of recovery....it was too early then for him to understand for he was in such a dark place of depression. It their compassion mattered to me. Our pastor writes to my son every week...funny, encouraging notes. How many other people could use encouragement from just one. We know addiction isn't exclusive to the poor or rich...the image of the addict has changed. I pray that in the future the news starts showing the difference people like you make instead of the mug shots of all those who do not give hope. I'm searching for what I can do...not sure yet. My son wears a bracelet that reads Stop Heroin...it scares people. He had an officer ask him about it, he is brutally honest. The officer said his blatant honesty was blowing him away. I think he needs to find a middlegroud, but for right now..it helps him. I will continue to pray for those lost children and mourning parents. I'm sure you give more peace than you know. [/QUOTE]
