Life along The Way with the V's

She's gone...

What a week we have had.  C's aunt came and got her this morning for the last time.  I am so sad.  I have been not able to do anything all day.  Just hang around and sit quiet.  The girls have been playing nicely which is such a blessing.  I have so much that needs to be done, but I just can't seem to do anything.  I had a really good cry after she left and I expect many more tears over the next few days.  I just can't believe she's gone.  R reminded me that it won't be forever that we will be able to visit as the aunt and uncle have agreed to.  I just never thought I would be visiting her, but that she would be ours.  We also have no idea what the future holds for us.  Many things could change in this situation.  So we wait and trust in God for the rest.

Until then I am so sad.  The girls are all sad, T just asked when C was coming home?  She already forgot...C was in denial all this week, I hope that she will be okay.  We have been her only stable and loving home and a constant for 16 months...oh this is so hard.

To Jen, Rean and all your family....I feel so sad for you all at this very difficult time. May God keep you all close in the comfort of His sacred Heart.

My heart is aching with you

Please know that you have invested something so special into that precious girl's life and it is not wasted and will not be forgotten. When I worked in Johannesburg, I looked after sick and abused children. It tore me apart when the courts ruled and we had to send these little ones back to the same situation we had rescued them from. God sees ALL and knows ALL. I pray for strength and comfort for you at this time and protection for C.

blessings to you
