The journey home begins....

Heard my sweet boys voice for the first time in about 28 days today...it sounded so good. He is doing well. Said there have been "some days" but for the most part it has been good. He gave us a list of things he needed us to bring and a request for his favorite from "Passage to India"...Curried lamb...spice it up and add an order of nonbread. :) Praise be to God! The journey home has begun...after five long years....he's headed back home. I cannot even put into words what this means to me. I'm not even sure I know yet.
Sunday, I will see my son for the first time in I don't know how long...drug and alcohol free! Clear eyes, clear mind, clear spirit! Hallelujah!
The hours are dragging by....O LORD, may you speed time up!
There were so many moments I wondered if this journey would end up with me, our family and friends standing over a casket mourning....even now my heart aches for those who this is their story! But Sunday I will not be standing over my son's casket but I will be hugging his neck (probably crying like a baby) and rejoicing! Thank You LORD!
Thank you to every person who has been our "Threshing Sledge"...Your prayers have torn down a mountain!
Tonight I sleep in peace...May you also do the same!
