Chapter 21 - Parenting

I got the house cleaned again - yay me! :) 

I took a pile of things to Value Village and bought some groceries. All the floors are mopped and shiny, and all the dishes are done. 

Most importantly, I got Cailyn's room all ready for when she comes home tomorrow. 

In 10 hours she will be in my arms. 

That is the best thing that could happen right now. I have been feeling so disjointed and scattered since she's been gone. I have been doing my best to try and stay on track and focused, but it has been really difficult. 

I am just so happy that she will be back home, where she belongs. 

I tried to be an adult in the whole situation (stop laughing!). I decided that I want her to be a strong, independent woman who can make her own choices, and that's why I left the choice to move up to her. My hope and prayer is that she will always be safe, happy, and loved. If she could get those things in SK, then I would have accepted that. 

When you become a parent, your life is no longer about you - it is about your children and providing them the skills and tools they need to be safe, happy, and loving adults.



I will never regret allowing her to chose her own course. 

And, I will forever rejoice that she chose to come back home.
