I Want To See My Mommy!

It seemed like Merrym was making progress, so we knew that it was time to send the kids to her. Our goal was as close to Easter as possible.

My biggest concern, was that I now had to deal with the kid's dad and step-mom. I had to talk to them and let them know the kids were going to be moving to Washington to be with their mother. It's hard to deal with people who have put themselves on a self-made pedestal. My question was, how did this absentee father; this abusive man, who had caused Courtney to be born prematurely by punching Merrym in the stomach; this man, who had tried to sell his own unborn son; this man, who had led his family into witchcraft; this man, who had been involved in using and dealing drugs; how had he amazingly become the most devoted father and wonderful husband in such a short time?

He and his wife felt that the kids would be better off with them, than with a disabled mother. We had several discussions about this, but the truth was they really didn't want to raise the kids. I did have to remind them that Merrym had custody. I knew the courts wouldn't say she was unable to take care of them, due to her disability.

The night before they were to fly to be reunited with Merrym, they stayed at my house. They were so excited and very nervous. I was extremely anxious about putting two little children on a plane to fly by themselves. I felt better, as I saw how the stewardess met them with a smile, and explained everything to each of us. They hugged me goodbye and bravely took each others hands to follow the stewardess. I knew they would have came running back, crying, if the thought of seeing their mom hadn't been there.

I prayed and cried all the way home, but I knew God would take care of them. I know God may have even sent an angel to be the kids stewardess that day.

Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble;
Proverbs 3:23
