Words of Life

My son,

All 20 years of your life I have tried to speak Words of Life into you. In my eyes, you have always been all that is good in this life.

You were always kind, thoughtful, hardworking, generous, resilent, strong and good. You are still all that and more. But somehow you need for alcohol and drugs have hidden the good in you.

You bully me. You are mean. You lie and steal. I don't know if I can live with you. I don't fear you but I fear FOR YOU.

What is happening to us. We can barely speak to each other. If we do, it is a horrible argument.

How can I speak Words of Life into you if I can't bare to speak to you.
