Vibes needed......

Not for me, but a good friend. I used to work with her, she & her husband live nearby & she works very close. Today I stopped at her work place, to give her some home made greek lemon chicken soup. My mom makes it and my friend & her husband love my mom's cooking.

My friend ushered me into her office & said "my second guardian angel in two days." She then hugged me & cried for almost 5 minutes, I have never seen her like this in 15 years.

She then told me what was happening. Her oldest son is bi-polar and lives in San Diego. He has been self medicating with alcohol and his wife has left him (for her safety). He signs himself in & out of hospitals. He has no money, no car, nothing. He's one step away from the streets or jail.

My friend & her husband talk to their daughter-in-law, who gives them updates & the son texts. They don't want to head out to California until there's some semblance of a plan or program,

That's what I need vibes for. Thank you.

As to being the second guardian angel, yesterday a woman we both used to work for showed up. A woman who is a gentle and caring soul.

The vibes are coming...I will have to look for a "GA" that isn't busy at the moment but the help....there are so many in his shoes(and theirs) yet we have a gov't that worries more about overseas,instant wars and Pentagon purchases then the truly needy here, At one time we had secure places for many in his shoes. Granted some were not run perfect but surely most were safer then living on the streets. I don't know why they thought "they" were saving big bucks by shutting down facilities for those who really could not help themselves. In the era of "take two in the morning" the experts do not realize many can't remember what day it is,won't take it if they feel "fine" or simply not interested we have far too many on the streets needing supervision.

With hopes that this young man is able to find and accept the help he needs.

I'm glad the parents have the support of friends like you.
