      Sami,

      Thanks so much for suggesting I read your journal entry. I could not have wrote it better myself. I am emailing it to my son and hope it helps him understand he is not the only one suffering.

      My dear friend - I am so sorry for having to put Sami down, dogs or pets are not just animals to the people who have loved and cared for them, they are part of the family. They are only dogs or pets to people who aren't "animal people". My heart goes out to you - my pupcakes aka Border Collie Family are my babies, friends - who are the only ones who can comfort me when the outside world is cruel. I will message you later today to catch up.

      Thanks, He told me tonight he wants to go to detox on Friday, I know he won't go. If he does I will take him, but I can't get my hopes up no more. The baby is okay, for now. But if he goes to detox I am affraid I will not get to see her. I want her to come live with me until they both are clean. Our system has failed us all.

      My son is a heroin addict. It's been about 8-10 years i think. So much of it seems like a blurr. It's a terrible thing for a family to go through. As a parent, it makes me feel like I have failed, even though I have tried to lead by example and promote being a good person. My daughter turned out great! Never a problem. Right now I feel heartbroken and numb. Question: why did he steal from us, his only support system? He took our last dollars? I don't get it!
