All my love and prayers go out to you and your DH, Holly. Your young man, like ours, will probably never be able to have the same kinds of feelings and emotions that we do. They have just experienced too much of the "dark side." However, if we can help them to get an education and a respectable job that they report to on time each day and fulfill the responsibilities adequately and marry and raise and support a family and raise their children in a better atmosphere than they were raised in, then we have earned a star in our crowns.
