But even if the kid is arrested, and even if he should wind up with a juvenile record, that would be a whole lot better than his dying from a drug overdose. I had a friend whose teenage son died from drug use. It drove her a bit mad. Everything in her life was, in her mind, connected to that event. I finally had to stop seeing her because there was nothing I could say or do to help her and because the whole scenario was bringing me down to a place I didn't want to be. I wouldn't wish that on any parent.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-42063933941164130642014-04-24T13:21:27.071-05:002014-04-24T13:21:27.071-05:00I hope the police don't arrest the kid and giv...I hope the police don't arrest the kid and give him a record.

That and the fact that the father was involved enough to haul the kid to the police station to teach him that lesson. And to get the one who was doing the selling.<br /><br />Good for your grandsons parents with the home schooling. I am all for that even though my grandkids are in public schools. Some of the stuff they are teaching kids now tends to worry me.<br /><br />Not much wind here - just rain. Glad to see it, though. With so much of the US in drought conditions, I won't complain about a little rain!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-77049913013767258132014-04-23T19:48:07.139-05:002014-04-23T19:48:07.139-05:00My prayers for both the father and the son.

Definitely a tough thing to do for both of them.<br /><br />I have just one child and fortunately she decided to behave herself in school, so I was blessed! My grandsons are in their teens and I pray fervently that all will go well for them. They are home schooled, so don't have that temptation, at least. Their parents keep them working at home and lots of school work too.<br /><br />A quiet, but very windy day here, so spent it indoors watching out the window at the trees bend.<br /><br />Blessings!CottonLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253761109385226538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-13300729510278086902014-04-23T19:02:47.828-05:002014-04-23T19:02:47.828-05:00Rob...I never had those problems with my kids eith...Rob...I never had those problems with my kids either, thank God. I was impressed at the action that father was taking to try to put a stop to his son's drug use.<br /><br />I don't mind rain. As long as it stays rain!

We just had some ice pellets hit the house but no snow. The grass is greening up real nice. Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.com
