A year later........ A year ago today Kipp and I and Klay drove the 3 hour drive to a place called Midwest Academy. Kipp drove, I cried, Klay slept. I knew in my heart we were doing the right thing, but it still hurt. I walked into MWA knowing I would find something I didn't like about it. Well I didn't, the staff was absolutely wonderful, they welcomed us with open arms. Kipp and I were given a tour while they took inventory of Klay's things. As I walked through I remembered thinking "how long will this take?" We returned to the parent room to say our good-bye's. I will never forget the words my 13 year-old said to me "let go Mom and let me get better". I did not want to let go but I knew if I didn't I was going to lose him forever. So I did what he asked I "let go and to let God". Kipp & I turned and left. That was the longest 3 hour drive I had ever taken. I remembered telling Kipp our next step was a seminar called "Discovery". I didn't know what it was but I was going no matter what. Well it was awesome, we left Discovery and told each other we are running to Focus not walking. Again Awesome. We are now about to attend our 4th Keys. This journey has been a blessing. I have my son back. He is making his own choices and learning to love life. I have a wonderful marriage and a beautiful daughter that I have been able to be a Mother to. Sooo many new friends. I had someone ask me would I change anything from a year ago today. My response is "no there are no accidents" I have my life back and my family is wonderful and we are going to "live" each day to the fullest. We will go the Distance.............. Wanted to share. Love & Hugs, Kelly
