Life seems to be throwing lots of curve balls lately. But on the upside, My Mom's cancer seems to be stable and we don't have to go back for 4 months. She'll never be rid of it, but as it is very slow growing, she may never need any further treatment. I am finally starting to do better after surgery earlier this year. Lots of email and posts to catch up on though. The kids we are raising, have regressed a little but their therapist thought that would happen when their Mother was released from prison. Which she has gotten out and we are all thrilled. She is having a little trouble of adjusting but is gradually easing into normal life. She has turned her life around and is now a beautiful young woman both on the inside as well as the outside. We are hoping to get her into counseling soon to deal with all the abuse that her ex. put her through, No one liked her ex from the beginning and we prayed daily that her eyes would be opened to what type of person he was. God answered our prayers, but not the way we thought. He knew best, because even with her ex in prison, he still had a hold on her. It took her going to prison to open her eyes to how manipulative and controlling he is. I still remember the phone call I got from her in prison telling me she had just watched a program about abused women and had realized that they were talking about her situation. She has a long road ahead but she is strong and we will be there to help. We are having a welcome home party on Saturday for her. Our church has been collecting gift cards and other items for her to help start over as she has nothing but the clothes they gave her at the prison. Hope everyone is well and am hoping to catch up on what has been happening.

I'm so happy to hear how this is unfolding. I'm sorry that you and your daughter had to go through this. We don't always understand but He does. Please let her know that she is being prayed over and also her children and of course, you. I can't wait to hear the great things that are coming from this.

You've brought tears to my eyes and prayers to my lips. I know it's been a very long road filled with too many bumps and potholes, but the future looks so much brighter for you all. My prayers will continue. Please tell your daughter and grandchildren that there are many folks who are praying for them all. And here's a special cyber hug for you for never giving up. Please keep us updated. It will be a privilege to celebrate her successes and prayers during the tough time. And a huge thanks to your church or all of the support they have been and continue to give.

Thank you so much. I can feel the love and compassion. Tears to my eyes too that Cuties would care about a someone they have never met. She can definitely use prayers as her parole officer is being very hard on her, not giving her a chance to become acclimated into the world. He has got her so terrified that if she makes a mistake, he is going to prevent her from seeing her children. I'm ready to have words with him! Thank you for your support.

I'm so happy that things are turning around. It's all in God's time of course and I pray that you too will get better too. You are one very brave woman to take on the rearing of those two children. God bless you for your kindness. So lovely to have to back on here too. Love Chris
