Today started out wonderfully. My husband, 2 year old and I rode 4-wheelers through the trails today. We went out to lunch and had a big cook-out for family for dinner. My step-father called me and told me my mom came home from the hospital today. He said he was going to see my daughter and try to pick her up and take her to his house to see my mom. (They live in the same town.) My daughter's dad wouldn't come outside, but sent his girlfriend out to tell my dad she wasn't there. A few minutes later my daughter walked outside and the girlfriend tried to act surprised. My daughter said she had been in her room since the church bus brought her home and that the girlfriend knew this. My dad gave her a few dollars. He said she acted like she didn't even want to see him and the girlfriend sent her back in the house. They told my dad he couldn't come see her, couldn't call her and couldn't pick her up.
My sister-in-law was here today. She's my husband's sister. She and her husband took my son to spend the night with them. They are going to be at the bus stop when my daughter gets off the bus tomorrow and my son is going to tell her to get in the car and it's time to go home. They will then bring her to me. I have been praying. I pray this works. If she doesn't get in the car because she doesn't want to come home, I'm not sure how I'll handle it. I am trying not to get my hopes up, but she may finally be coming home. I miss her so much. I love her so much. I want my family. My husband is getting clean and my family will be together. What more can I ask for?
My nerves are on edge. I don't know how I will pass the time until tomorrow afternoon. I don't know how I will get through if something happens and they can't get her or if she refuses to come with them. Please pray for me to make it through this okay and for her safety. I pray that God will comfort her and let her know it is time to come home.
Oh (((Powerless))) my prayers are with you. May you find the strength to sit through the 'wait' and i hope your daughter comes home. Keep us updated. With love in the fellowship
Dear Powerless, Thank you for sharing so openly and honestly with us. I am praying for you and I will continue to pray for you through the day tomorrow. mebjk
Prayers are on the way from me to you and your family. The serenity prayer has helped me through some tough times too. I will look for your update. cdb xoxoxoxox (((powerless)))
