Lost count of how many gratitude lists I have done on the site. Sometimes you really need them and then you roll along for a while in what other people take for granted as normal life. I NEED this today. My thoughts are scattered and not focussing very well and much has to be done. Sophie is great, Will is not. And that’s about all I will say at this stage, apart from the heart felt cry of ‘how do you keep an 18 year old safe’ until he is able to engage with therapy.
1. My son is alive
2. Autumn is the most beautiful season
3. I loaded the dishwasher and fed the cats (actually no, my partner fed the cats, damn)
4. There are people around who really care at a grass root level
5. We had a friend come to the house and turn off the stove, because we had to bolt to find Will
6. God has a definite plan for Will – he is not letting him slip away
7. Never never fear police involvement. They go above and beyond the call of duty.
8. I am functioning (enough) and got dressed today.
9. God is good. So very good.
My son is alive.
