O/T
What a nice day for me and my family... all four grands were here with me and GG (or great as my mom likes to be called). We let them open one gift each and we let them pick them. The oldest is four and she opened her princess and the toad barbie doll... when she saw it she squealed and said..." I have been wanting this for three years!" Jus thought I would share that.
An update on ST visiting his kids. RUMOR: I spoke with him this morning and he was excited to know when he could see the kids. He said he would call after. I never heard from him. His mother finally called at 530 to see if I had talked to him. She called back again at 630 and said she had talked to him, but that he is upset because he will not be able to visit the kids for christmas. From what she said to me, the judge wants to move st slowly back into the kids lives, beginning with phone calls every week, and progressing to supervised visits, then unsupervised visits as long as things progress to the judges liking, possibly in the spring. I am sure this news devastated st, and i feel for him. But I also feel relieved knowing that someone is thinking of the kids only and foremost. I wanted st to see his kids, but also know that two and a half years is a long time to not see your dad and to just let st ride in and pick them up to go 500 miles away after the death of their sister, and at christmas. Well, I thought it was alot to expect. I was told that his decision was based primarily on the long absence from his childrens lives. I feel better. I feel like someone is putting at and st first, for once. I know in my heart that ST is striving to be the parent he should have been. It has been a very hard lesson. I hope in my heart that DT has learned the same lesson, and that they will both be better parents because of this tragedy. Thats all I have.. and its all just rumor. I hope to talk to ST tomorrow and I hope you will all pray for him... for all of them (and me too)
