I do hope one day...my son will want to be with us...but have accepted it is his choice...I did the best I could....and he certainly knows he is loved but we don't compromise our beliefs or lifestyle.
thanks pat...prayers are continual and I can see God working on his heart and glimers of hope. i appreciate your encouragement.
