All is quiet except for the thunder and lightning overhead. Much the same as the house. We are smooth sailing, our family with J. He has slipped into the easy pattern of our lives no matter where we are. The beach, Sea World, riding down the road. Dinner time, nap time, church and getting thrown by Buddy in the pool. He touches our hearts and every one he meets. The storm is on the horizon as he is suppose to leave on Friday. This is the difficult part. How to explain to a 3 year old what's going on. The other kids were much easier scenarios. Going back to family, going to a cousin, going to live with brothers. I can't even tell him that this will be his forever family. That's the intent but until mom's rights are terminated that's not for sure. Thankfully the family he is going to live with seems wonderful. They came over on Friday then took J out for dinner. Camille, who we refer to as Simon during American idol judging, said that she really likes the mom and that she is fun. With Camille's stamp of approval that means a lot. We took J for another visit to their home on Sunday. He was pouty & head down but immediately went into the mom's arms. My heart was heavy and the tears were falling when we were on the road again. He had a great day. It will be ok. God is good and will bless this sweet boys life.
We will have a huge void in our family. Camille will feel it the most. She has been amazing with him. She wonders when we will get the "next kids". I'll be a little slow again before moving on. Heart needs to heal before we love some more.
