Ms Ladyblue , yes i see you were a hippie too through the 70's, it was mostly marijuana every day for me too, i only did LSD about 8 or so times during all my teenage years, but i did have one bad trip though. And there were some other drugs too, So yes my teen years were very wild, My family moved and we lived in Fla. my teenage years, Lots of Rock concerts, Beach party's, keg party's, and a whole lot of good old Rock & Roll . It all left me very empty though and hungry for meaning . In the middle of all this my Mother got baptized as a Witness in 1974, well- whenever i came home after day's of partying I would hang about and rest up ( Sleep for day's ) . I would read the Watchtower or Awake & books she had laying around, listen in on the Bible study's the Witnesses were having with my younger brothers & sisters, after some time they would study with me in my flat black painted bedroom with the blacklight and fluorescent posters on the wall ,hanging beads & all, me with my hair half way down my back. It was funny to see their faces, it actually seemed to move fast for me, I was sick of my empty life, it seemed none of my friends cared about anything but getting high ,if you didn't have any pot - it was okay then Dave, we'll catch ya later man. But mostly i began to love the God of the Bible Jehovah & His Son Jesus, also the promises of the Righteous New Earth, The Bible made sense in the hands of the Witnesses. And also i have to say I loved my Mother and could not go on hurting her with my lifestyle any longer. I may have had a wild life starting very young (13 ), But I also made it out very young ( 21 ) when most young people are just getting started with a wild life. I got baptized in 1978 , became a M.S. in 1982. I have two daughters and one step daughter- all wonderful ! as are my two grandkids a boy & girl by my stepdaughter, and five grandkids by one of my other daughters 4 boys 1 girl .the oldest 19 the youngest 4. I'm thankful to have a big and happy family ( as far as the Watchtower , I tip toed away in 1998- after 20 years ) But that's another story for some other time.
Wishing you and your granddaughter all the best of times .
