My oldest grand niece is almost home with us now. Amanda is my oldest nephew's daughter by his first marriage. She has been out of our lives for over 4 years now. Not because that is what we wanted, but because her mother was more interested in punishing my nephew and his family than seeing to her daughter's well being.
Late June, early July there was a falling out between daughter and mother, and daddy was called to :"Please come and help me!": Daddy went, and arranged for Amanda to go to maternal grandmother's home. Finally a visit was arranged for Amanda to visit at Dad's house and be with her 2 half sisters and her step-mom. Bridges were mended, slights were forgiven, and trust was formed. The 'weekend' visit turned into 9 days, and when it was time to leave she was wanting to live with her daddy. Her mom has not attempted to talk to her or to my nephew, or even to her own mother. Amanda does not want to see or talk to her mom yet. My nephew has been calling his X but has not recieved a call back as of yet. He talks to Amanda every day, several times a day. He tells her to be patient, that things must be done legally and safely for her. Soon she will be back home with us, God is so good.
