Food for thought

What kids say:

“What stands between me and drugs is my parents and common sense.”

“I know that I’m making my parents proud.”

“My adoptive mother. Delivering me from an abusive past, helping the wounds to mend, helping me to trust again, and for being there when I needed her. I can never let her down! Thanks Mom!”
