Hello my friends,Last night my husband and I drove our son to the airport to go to rehab.He was in IOP, relasped,and then went again this past month to IOP but clearly didn't work, and agreed to go in patient. When we were driving home, I ask my husband what was the day your dad passed and he said the 29th. I said today is the 29th, as I was saying that my dear friend from DS was texting me her daughter said 29 more days, my sons flight left at 6:29. My husband called this morning and said he had to get off at exit 129. I immediately said this is a sign, and then I remembered on Saturday I prayed to God and said please guide me, show me what to do, give me a sign. When I look up 29,it said it is considerd a master number which is about completion and Divine guidance. Also referrs to Ferbruus the God of purification. So I know you have said give him up to god, but I finally believeI received my sign. It is amazing that as humans we receive all of these signs about what to do with our addicts but we sometimes ignore them, or expect everything to be so literally, ( like the movei Ghost) but this and all of you are a sign that I will be ok if I listen carefully. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for being here every step of the way, it has helped me in ways only we will know.

I believe there are miracles every day if only we are open to seeing them. When I worked for a church, thursday was a super busy crazy day. Every thursday it seemed there would be an emergency and I was on a starting committee for good neighbors, where we would make a meal and deliver it to the family. every thursday I would say "Lord, help me out. give me the strength to do this" and I would always get the first or second parking spot right outside the front door of a huge busy grocery store. This went on for months, before I really noticed how unusual it was...then one day, I didn;t even find a parking spot in the front parking lot and had to go across the street.... I thought God was teaching me a lesson, and I had taken my good fortune for granted....when I parked and got out of the car, a lady was getting out of hers across the way, and she came and asked me questions- like where do you go to church, etc, and I knew I had been sent to park there so that I could meet, and help her.
Enjoy the special closeness you are having with the universe and know that it just goes to show that nothing is really ever in our control...I hope your son does exceptionally well and is healthy soon.
And if you are crazy, than I am too...but I have no idea who februus is...I would go look up psalm 29 too...
Have a great night.
