Seth and Hayley May 07

Naltrexone didnt work in helping Seth to stop using marijuana.  I think now that the only thing that will work is for him to want to stop more than he wants to keep using.  I will leave this now between Seth and Hayley.  Seth was playing squash the other day and ended up with a broken foot.  He now has 6 weeks off work with no income as he is on casual, however because he has the public trustee looking after his money, they have been able to save up enough for him to have all his bills paid for this period. He will only have half his usual amount for groceries and living expenses however it could have been alot worse for all of us.  He has a maroon cast given the beginning of the State of Origin and being a Queensland supporter.  They seem to be doing quite well otherwise - they still want to get married but they wont be able to afford the wedding that they wanted.  I suggested that they just get married somewhere with a minimum of fuss and then perhaps later when they have more money they can have the wedding of their dreams.  I dont know if that will be an option they embrace but it really doesnt matter.  They can continue living together, they can get married - whatever makes them happy.

I ran into a lady at the Coffee Club yesterday who is a special needs teacher.  She said that children with a disability are a gift.  I know that is a much used cliche but how i do believe that.  Don and I have been through so much with him, worried about his life, worried about ours, concerned that the only reasonable option for him was jail, worried that he would hurt someone, selling our stuff for drugs, but oh how wonderful he is and how beautiful is Hayley.  If he can hang on to a girl like Hayley clearly he is a very special man - a gift - certainly to us and I hope beyond anything else - to Hayley.
