If you have an A son...

Yeah...it's not pretty in the midst of it but thank god for my mom. She's been there for me through a lot. I don't know if she thought I would ever get my life together. This photo is one of the ones my sponsor took at the wedding.  I really like it. Your sons love you even if they aren't in a good spot now or even if they lost the battle with the disease.

Wonderful looksee at your Mom and you. A mother's love doesn't end for her child no matter what. We might get upset with what they do or don't do, but we are tied by a psychic umbilical cord that never lets us forget them, hoping or loving them. You've done your Mom proud, I'm sure, Mark. Tell her we think she hit the lottery with you, brother.

That is one heck of an adorable picture.  I know your mom must be bursting with pride.  It is also so helpful to know what's inside the mind of an A that there are still deep feelings and caring, even if the disease has overshadowed them.  Much joy and congratulations to you!
