love letter #10

this is love and pride to my son.

a 20 year drug addict and 15 year crystal meth addict, is turning his life around.

after being in a year long Therapeutic Community program in prison, he has been clean off meth  and other hard drugs (coke, MDMA, heroin) for over a year.  he slipped up with weed a few months ago but is back on track.

i've been so proud of his hard work.   he has held a job for 4 months, the longest in his life.  and it's a job he absolutely loves.  he's a pantry chef at a very high end restaurant and sends me pic every so often to show me his creations.  very impressive!

but today,  he was just accepted for his first apartment.  he has roommates, but he had to apply to be on the lease with them.  he has a long criminal record from his years as an addict, but this is the second step that he's accomplished in creating a new life for himself.

i am so fucking proud of him.

when he told me today, i could not stop smiling.

i love you, son.

you have become an amazing man and i am so happy to see the path you are on.  keep up this hard work.  life will never be easy, but it's a lot easier than being an addict, living in squalor, never knowing when your next meal will come, sleeping outside, etc.  

you are making your own money, paying bills, have a bank account and now an apartment to call your own for the first time in your life.

i couldn't be happier for you or more proud.

i am always here for you.  💚💙💚💙 (sort of Seahawks colors!  😜)
