The judge said they will remain with us full time until at least Feb. 6th. That means they will not get to see their mom for Christmas. That must be hard! Wow! I can't even imagine. I think I've had one Christmas without my mom, but my sister was there. At least the girls have each other.
And they have a wonderful family that takes them to the Nutcracker, teaches them how to sew, plays games with them, and spends quality time conversing and laughing!
I thought that today would be wipe out, after we told them last night. There were some delayed tears and one of the girls was angry for less than a 1/2 hour after they learned their fate & found out we don't know when they'll see their mom. But today was wonderful! Wow! I am so pleasantly surprised and totally blessed!
I wonder how it will go once it settles in their brains that living with us full time is not temporary...
Whether you are a parent or not, I hope what I share here helps you find hope and tools that help us feel whole... Please pass this blog on to anyone you know that has experienced sadness, disappointment, trauma, abandonment, or anger in their past. What am I talking about: The more I get to parent, the more I realize how important it is for me to heal my own emotional baggage, so I can be an emotionally healthy example as we guide the next generation to be all that they can be.
