Two tubs of toys
For both girls
Went with them to their mom's
Last Saturday.
Phone call came Wednesday at noon
Paperwork was signed by the judge
Girls returning home.
Mixed emotions.
So many mixed emotions.
Words cannot explain
What my brain can't process.
Tomorrow,
Friday, May 24, 2013
Is the reunification date.
The girls are excited
And happy
But also anxious.
Their mom is excited
And happy
But also anxious.
I am...
I am...
I don't know what I am.
And that's okay.
There is no book for this process.
Tonight we packed up the clothes
2 tub fills each
And a suitcase
And a box of shoes each
Then a run to Sams
Filling up the cart
With a celebration gift of
Mac and cheese
Ramen noodles
Ravioli
Cheerios
Spaghetti
Etc.
Etc.
And a bouquet of flowers.
Take the full car
To their mom's
Tonight
Seeing them together
So excited for tomorrow
And putting their family back together again
After showers we enjoyed our last
Bible reading together on the couch
And then our last nighttime prayers together
Hearing the girls pray for
Strength, wisdom, protection
Hearing the girls praying the promises of
Jeremiah 29:11
Hearing the girls praise God for His
Perfect timing.
Tomorrow
Sometime in the afternoon
Miss M and Ms. O
Will be reunited
With their mom
And their brother
And a family will be together
And God is good.
Tomorrow.
The time has come,
Tomorrow.
Just as God ordained.

to my friend the missionary, so proud of your faithfulness. This is why these girls were put in your life, so "as such a time at this" they are united with their mom. You were their safe place for healing, growth, and hope. Things may be hard for you, emotions all mixed up, but thank you for being strong, faithful, and willing to open your home. I love you. My prayers continue for you and the girls.
