some good news

My son got a job, using a reference from a job he had before the wheels fell off for him. He has also been keeping away from his former bad habits (the ones the police were interested in, anyway -- he's still leaving towels on the floor, which is okay). The kid is going to be all right.

I am still in Boston but we will definitely be celebrating as a family when I get home.

Thanks so much to all of you who offered words of support.

XO

This cheered me up, considerably! Best of thoughts to you and your family, especially your son. I hope he stays on this track. Lots of love.

Believe me, the words of each of you mean a lot today and were a lifeline when we were up against it, too. Between the folks on this board and my friends here in Boston, I was able to maintain sanity and even optimism long enough for the good stuff to start happening.

He's not completely-and-forever out of the woods yet, but to paraphrase the last line in Blade Runner, who is?

Exactly. Like I told him: "All I ask is that you try. The results aren't up to either of us, but I do ask that you try."

And he did.

He was so funny yesterday on the phone. I was yelling, "I am just so DELIGHTED about all this," blah blah blah, and he said rather wryly, "I didn't think anybody could be happier about this than me, but I guess you would kinda qualify." heh heh heh -- he also has a sense of humor.
