Both of my boys have birthdays this month. One turned 20 last week and the other turned 22 today. I’m not close enough, geographically, to hug them. But I cannot be more grateful to God than I am right here and now, being able to call them and wish them the happiest of birthdays. Either God is real, or I am the luckiest person alive – having two sons with opiate addictions both in active recovery. Amazing. I choose God.

One Mom Talking: The ongoing story of one mom, three teens, and heroin. 
Happy Birthday to both your boys. I can’t think of anything better than what you just said about your sons 🙂 Great reason for celebrations.
