      From gkg21 October 3

      I am not on here as much as I used to be. I am okay...sort of. This grief journey is never-ending. Ups and downs. I am going to be a Grandma in May so that is amazing. I am so glad your son is doing well! Really! I don't ever want to see another mom lose her child to anything but especially not to drugs. Peaceful wishes, Ginger

      I just wanted to say thank you. I did call Chris in as a runaway on Friday morning. It is now Sunday night and I still havent heard from him at all. Sometimes it stinks so much. For mothers day I got to have a headache because a week of not sleeping very well caught up all at once. But again thank you for your advice and support. Shannon
