My son was on the wrong path 7 years ago. I had spent a large part of his childhood away from home. He did not have a father when he needed one. Lets just say I was preoccupied with my own ways. He was arrested one night for public vandalism. The wake up call that hit him, hit me. His mother and I were divorced then for 7 years of his 15 years. His mother and I lived within 2 miles of each other. We talked. Her and I decided that our selfishness was killing our kids and we were losing them. We made a decision to share a house. Not married, not together but share as friends would share. We decided to put aside our stupid arrogance and give instead of take. After all we were about to lose our most precious gifts we had ever received. Our children. Today my son is 21. He is in his third year of college. He is studying to be a wildlife biologist. His sister is a junior in high school. She is the head cheerleader, varsity choir, athletic trainer for 5 sports (lettered 9 times), a christian, carries a 3.95 gpa, state champion in 3 divisions of HOSA (Health Occupation Students of America) and has received full scholarship offers from 3 universities to date. My older son is 25. He took over management of my business this year so that I could pursue a different career and travel to India next year. I credit their achievements to God in my life. If you new me you would understand. Imagine someone that has attempted anything and done everything and you would begin to get a clear picture of me. I am not a model citizen and am not the worst either. The thing is I have children that are beautiful people, inside and out. I did not do this. I just got my ego out of the way. I feel in my heart that this problem is with our lack of a spiritual belief in our lives. I do not think it is about guns. I have 5 firearms in my home. They are under lock and key. I hunted for years. I was raised and taught by hunters. I have been a vegetarian now for 5 years. It was a spiritual choice. I still do not think it is about guns. It is about a lack of faith in a higher power than I Bill
