I just got a call in the middle of the night that he had been shot..no more information, (that's why I mentioned the PTSD, my son had it). I do not live in Chicago, I am in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, these things just don't happen here, but it did. It's so hard as parents to protect our kids at every turn when they are little so they will get a chance to spread their wings and fly, but when they leave we can't protect them anymore and sometimes bad things happen. Luckily God was looking out for your boy while you were not there, things could have been a lot worse. May only sunny days come your way for a long, long time. |
O I am so sorry, that had to be just horrible for you and your family..I hope he is doing well now, I would imagine it would be with you for ever.
It was very hard to be so far away, I was a complete wreck! I packed in probably 2.5 seconds, and all I could do was wait and wait...once my husband got home...we packed the truck up and left, was the longest drive of my life...My son is a 30 yrs old.Adult, but all I could think was, I had to get to my child.
My husband and I were just talking tonight, about what delayed reaction my son may have, since it was such a violent experience to have gone through. I will keep that in the for front of my mind, thanks so much for sharing that with me..and again, I hope your son is doing very well now, Bless his heart
