[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 721744, member: 15032"] We had not heard from son and husband dropped him off a week ago today. Left him in the parking lot after he refused to stay. Puppy eyes. Backpack in hand. Last night a call came in from the town he is in and we both panicked before answering. It was a nice lady that said our son wanted to talk to us. He sounded good. He said it was not his weekly call yet but wanted to ask us if we could put money on his commissary account for miscellaneous items. We said we would. He said he likes it there. WHAT??? Shocked. He said he will be able to do this. He said he is already working in their thrift store. He will call us every Tuesday and is allowed to talk for 15 minutes. We can visit him the third Saturday of each month from 1-5pm. He cannot leave the grounds for several months. He needs dress shirts for church but no rush. He said he cannot call his dad this weekend for his birthday but said Happy Birthday and I love you. My husband was so happy after this call. He felt so awful about leaving our son like that but he knew we had no choice. I feel relieved. I had been playing horrible movies in my head. I also feel relieved about the holidays. We will not see him at all until December the weekend before Christmas. At least now we have a plan. Big weight off of me. I wish we had put him in this program earlier but maybe this is how his journey was supposed to play out. Thanks everyone for their prayers and support xoxo [/QUOTE]
