Back on track

Well my son is living at his other sister's place now in the same town. He did write his exams, and passed. Wow what a relief that is. Two days later he got a job full time at Walmart. He just got another part time job at Superstore so I guess he decided to keep himself busy. Next month he is going for his Whimis and H2S courses before school starts again. He said he's going to pay for himself as much as he can right now. I believe he has learned some valuable lessons from his slip up he had which is wonderful. He knows he has burned many bridges and is running out of bridges to burn. I learned many lessons in this new journey also. There were a few times I wanted to run to rescue my son and say everything is going to be alright but I stuck to my guns and let him be responsible for his choices and it has worked thus far. Never stop and think this is an easy thing to do for a parent because it is not. However, this time I didn't live in fear and guilt and didn't allow it to consume my life again. We moved on and we are living day by day. Yesterday is gone. Today is almost over and I'm a little smarter than yesterday. Tomorrow if full of possibility. I turned 45 yesterday, and it was a wonderful day with much to look forward too.
