SO HAPPY!!!

Aw Karen I have tears in my eyes now!!!!!! I am so happy that you heard from him. He is such a good kid. Love ya! Hope this weekend is easier for you than last. :)

Thanks Sass...I feel better hearing from him and really knowing he is ok. I think we are going to be painting this weekend, so I am sure we will be busy. Was going to do some stuff tonight, but think me and my daughter will hang out. She was suppose to go to a dance at the church tonight, but she stayed home from school and I won't let her go. She is a little disappointed, but need to get her healthy again.

I cant wait to get home to open up that YouTube link (cant do it from work)...

It is a beautiful song. I am glad you heard from him. Enjoy your time with your daughter. In the long run it will mean more to her than a dance.

There is another one for the song forever young also, so don't know why it didn't highlight.

Here are the actual words to the song:

Walk away if you want to
It's okay if you need to
Well you can run but you can never hide
From the shadow that's creeping up beside you
There's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all

Whatever you do - I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go - and I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around, I'll be two steps behind

Yeah yeah

Take the time to think about it
Walk the line, you know you just can't fight it
Take a look around, you'll see what you can find
Like the fire that's burnin' up inside me
And there's a magic running through your soul
But you can't have it all, no

Whatever you do - I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go - and I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around, I'll be two steps behind

There's a magic running through your soul
But you, you can't have it all

Whatever you do - I'll be two steps behind you
Wherever you go - and I'll be there to remind you
That it only takes a minute of your precious time
To turn around, I'll be two steps behind

Yeah baby, two steps behind
Oh sugar, two steps behind

:lol:I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU DEAREST FRIEND 2NDBAND.
I WISH YOU A FANTASTIC WEEK END WITH YOUR FAMILY.
I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE LETTER YOUR SON SEND TO YOU.
BEAUTIFUL SONG DEAR KAREN.

2n, I am so happy you got his letter and he is doing well. It will be graduation time before you know it! :lol:

I have been reading your posts about your son and everyone of them touch me. So, I felt I needed to respond. I am so glad that you heard from him and you know he is doing well. I wish the best for everyone in your family and will be praying for you all.

We all need to learn from you: appreciate everything you have everyday. Don't let money get in the way of your happiness.

Thank you for sharing your story.

I am so glad you got a letter!! Hang in there--you have a lot to be proud of!!

Your son and your family are in my prayers!!..KAren :D

Thanks....I think I called everyone I knew last night to let them know that I had heard from him!!! This will be something that I know I will keep. I have all his cards he gave me and most of the little pictures and little gifts he has made me through the years. He wrote me a poem a few years ago and I have it in a frame sitting out for all to read. Now we are waiting for the mail to run so we can see if there is anything else there. I know he will end up having a nice long letter that will be going out in the mail on Monday!

Glad you heard from him, and that he's doing well. He'll be fine.

Those that don't know...I did post some of his going away party pictures and pictures of the day he left under a thread called party pixs. Thought I would share the experience.
