About a Drug Addict and Light at The End of The Tunnel

[This is an update to my last article "About a Drug Addict and Helplessness"] [caption id="attachment_1176" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Los Angeles LDS Temple"][/caption] On Tuesday, I place Jane's mother's name (and Jane's name) on the prayer roll of the Los Angeles temple.  Today, Thursday, I get an excited phone call at work from "Jane." She has, what I think, and my friend Jane thinks, good news.  Jane's mother's long time boyfriend has had enough, and can't bare seeing what is happening to her.  So he put her into his car and drove her to her mother's house (Jane's grandmother).  Janes grandmother (and aunt) has the financial means to help her.  Jane wished she could help her, but $250 a week isn't enough to take care of someone. Jane tells me her grandmother is a tough cookie and was a strict mother.  Jane has confidence this is the best thing for her mother and I agree.  We are both hoping Jane's grandmother gets her mother declared incompetent.  I seriously believe that will be easy.  This is so they can help her whether she likes it or not.  The key thing that needs to happen to Jane's mother is to get her cleaned up, hair cut off, and to see a doctor.  She also needs to get off the drugs so she can finally think straight. Jane was so happy that she was literally very excited talking to me on the phone.  I was happy too.  Her smile brightens up any room.  I'm glad it's back. Folks, prayer works.

It's not over yet. This all depends on Jane's grandmother now.

Jane knows her much more than I do. Jane is worried that she might just have her committed and then lost to the system. Who knows? Nevertheless, she has a better chance than where she was.

A positive step in the right direction.

Just the first step in a very long stairway, but on the right path nevertheless.

Another update and it's not good news. Jane's mother is back with her boyfriend.

Jane and I came up with an idea. She wants to get her mother out of that environment for at least a while, though she prefers permanently. Jane and I will drive her to some beautiful places (Southern California has many) for the day and wheel her around to see them. No, not places with a crowd, but places hidden yet spectacular. Besides, LA isn't known for its fresh air.

We want to show her what she is missing out on.

That is a good idea though I'm sorry to hear the news about the boyfriend reunion.
