Life along The Way with the V's

C update

Well C has become a crown ward.  She is staying with her aunt and uncle for the time being at least.  She is having many issues that have been hard for them to adjust to, but they have been talking with us.  They are also open to us having relationship with her.  She seems to be adjusting okay.  I miss her, and the girls miss her a lot.  They seem to notice more when we are doing things together as a family.  They feel like we are missing someone, and we are.   However things have gone well considering everything.  We continue to pray for Cora's safety and well being.  God knows everything better than we do, and we are trusting in that.

Thanks for all the prayer support to those who have prayed us through this.  Continue to pray if you feel led.

Blessings

Goodbye Girl

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.

Unloved...

My heart feels so heavy.  A little girl who has become quite special to me, just informed me that she had to move from an aunts house because she didn't want her anymore.  And that she wasn't liked anymore.  Such a little girl who already feels so much rejection and disdain in her young life.  Her little spirit is soaking up everything that we can give her, to the point that many times it is bothersome.  However this is about a little girl who has been rejected since before her birth, and I am not about to be another source of rejection in her young life.  So I have chosen to push my own irritation and impatience aside and love her until she feels lovable.

You never know what the day will bring.
