First
of all, your poem was absolutely beautiful, and your father’s continued
recovery, as well as your love and support of him, is to be commended. However,
just so you’ll know for future reference, you continually use the word “Their” incorrectly. You should be
using the word There. This
is a common mistake. One easy way to remember which word to use is the
following:

“Their”
refers to people and shows ownership.

For example: It’s their car.

“Their” has
the word heir
in it, and an heir is someone who will inherit someone else’s possessions or
title. I will inherit my mother’s jewelry .Prince Charles is in line to inherit
the throne.

“There”
refers to a location. “There” has
the word here
in it, and here
is a location.

Examples: Come here. Let’s sit here.

I’m pointing this out because it
appears that you have a talent for writing poetry, and I hope you continue
writing. I’m positive, however, that you’ll want your writing to be grammatically
correct.

Best wishes to you and your
father.

This drug has completly destroyed my family. I dont do it but my husband does and I have begged and pleaded with him to stop. We do have children and he is a very good father but he doesnt feel that doing this every once in awhile is a big deal. I finally left him made him realize that it couldnt happen anymore. I am beside him through all the detox and the long road ahead. I pray to god that he will help us get through this and I know he will. I think he might actually make it due to the fact he is going to loose everything if he doesnt quit.

Thank you for supporting your parents because without that support it could destroy. But yes with the acceptance of Christ all bondage is set free. I am proud of your parents and honey I am just as proud of you. Keep Supporting!
