So I did as I stated... I went to my F2F on Friday :) Seen alot of faces I don't get to see at my Sunday night, that & the room was full so it was wonderful... ESH all over the place ;) Even Made a Joke at the meeting that I was thinking about finding a Way to Stick The Serenity Prayer to my Dash for the trip (this is neat later ;)

So Started my Day with a Desent rest, and Woke up excited so I was quite pleased that my meeting was still sitting me... Abrother called me at 7am said he needed me to print off the kids tickets because his printer wasn't working and had jammed...So I knew he was up, Sober (because of his voice) and Nervous, but said I would and I would see him at 9:30

Direction were good because I never been to him home, that was part of my "Detachment" (if its not in my face I can't worry about it) So I could tell he was Super Nervous, so we talked about weather & travel just to get him to relax some, then he told me why he was so shakey...He had been tryin to get a hold of the kids mother and she would not answer her phone so he was scared to death that he was going to get there and it was all going to be for nothing, and the $700. plus he spent on all the tickets was going to be a waist, and he hated their mother for putting him and the kids thru this every time he tried to do something right... An blah blah blah...

So this is were you all were right there with me ;) I simple ask if "the Mother" KNEW when he would arrive, and if she had said ANY Thing pryor to the last couple days about picking him up! He stated that He spoke with her on Tues, and said Yes she would be there, and the kids because they wanted to see the plane come in... So I just told him, that maybe Now was a good time to "give it to God" and Pray that she is Good to Her Word, Reguardless of the past they had, and that maybe she changed... (This was hard for me to say about a women I Truly don't have much use for.. Yet another Addict added to my Family).... So I was pretty proud that I didn't mother, but just gave my two cents and did it in a manner that kept him from puffing down a pack of smokes before we got to the air port...

Turned out it wasn't just He & I and the "Hippy GF" she also had to bring along her lt. boy who is 6... And I think that was an act of HP for sure, because that then Limited the conversations I had with him, due to small ears... :) So again, Mothering didn't over take, and having a youngin with us lightened the mood

Trip home with Hippy Chic, I have to say ... I am Very Pleased that I went into this with an Open Mind, I am very happy I had the Courage NOT to pass Judgement on the things I was told of her, and that I allowed my Heart & My Mind to reach out and get to know her... She is Def. a "Hippy Chic" but ya know, she has been down a Pretty hard road herself, dealing in addiction, broken homes, moving all over the place to survive, raising her boy on her own since birth because the father had no interest in them since he found out she was pregnant, & many more things that sounded "ALOT" like my own up bringing... I even apolized to her for being so Stand offish at 1st and explained that My Abrother didn't always have a habit of bring "friendly" women home, so I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, and I was Sorry for that... She seemed to take it well and was glad i spoke up...

I have to get use to her Thrown out the "Peace" sign about every 10 minutes, and the "I love you" sign, and the "I Hear Ya Sista"... But truly I think she is a good match for my Abro, they don't fight, he isn't in the bar every night (Still drinks at home some), he hasn't messed around on her (New For Him) they have been together a year now, and They BOTH revolve their life around her boy, and now they are BOTH takin on his children for the summer... So God has gifted me for sure on that day...

Long Short, after another Tearful good bye from my Abro, about his worries, I calmed him down beofre shippig him on a plane to FL, we did some Cry'n together, and off he went and i know I gave him "Hope" and it seems to get him there safe & sound, and as soon as I got him from the 3 hour drive back from the airport, I text him and just ask if he made it OK and how the Flight was... and he text back saying... "I just landed n am standing here w/BOTH my Kids n my Arms, I Love You Sis, n Thanks For Helping Make it Happen! See you 2marrow! So all was well and it ended Beautifully..

I know I couldn't have done it without ALL you that support me and carry me thru... So thank you MIP... Thanks for lovin me, and given me that extra PUSH of "Hope" when Mine seems to be absent :)

Love you all... Love & Prayers

Jozie
