Good the hear from you Kim and so glad you are "still here" because you my dear friend are not only an inspiration but one of the best mentors but a "teacher extrodnaire" to all of us fighting this battle.

In addition to you pursuing a future career with Hallmark as I previously mentioned, you should also consider writing your heart out to gov't agencies to encourage them to continue in their drug enforcement efforts and to increase State & Federal funding.

Love ya girl-friend

BIG hugs to you! May 18th is on my calendar!

I'll never give up hope! But, and due to YOU, I ALWAYS have my big girl panties on and have constructed my boundries, will NOT falter, but will NEVER stop supporting our sons' want for recovery. Will it happen? Only God knows the plan. Either way, I will never stop hoping, praying and loving our son!

I hope that you know how many lives you touch. Yes, we haven't met, we don't chat on the phone or hang out at the coffee shop, but you have touched my life more than anyone I know! I'm thankful for your strength, your heart and your knowledge!

Love, prayer and hugs to you!

Kim you have been my ROCK this year and thanks to this amazing website you are my forever friend. I think of Katelin so often and I know she is now watching out for all of our addicts and you are watching out for all of us moms! You inspire me every single day to never give in or give up and there are not enough thank you's in this world for all that you have done for all of us here ad I'm sure everyone you meet. Time times in life you come across a person so shining and bright you wonder how you managed before they arrived... and you are that person to me.. I love you and I have my bubbles ready for May 18th for Katelin and for you.
