August 2018 tragedy hit my family.  I knew I would never see my son again. Six months later, I lost our texts when I upgraded my phone.  I    panicked and returned persistently to the carrier until I had possession of the old sim card.  I went home and typed every text my son had sent me.  

      I put those text away and did not look at them again until five years after the tragedy.  This book    has been written with the hope that people    struggling with addiction and their loved ones will sit and have respectful conversations that will strengthen their faith in our loving Father, one God, who created us all equal!
