My Daughter is coming home!

Huray! My daughter just called me and her dad finally bought the dam plane tickets! For those who do not know, he kept saying she could come,but changed his mind... It's been a long year without her,but it was something we just had to do. She seems excited about coming home. We still do not know weather or not she wants to stay... He has plans for her continuing living with him,but If she wants to stay here, I'm not going to force her to go back,nor will I keep her here if she wants to go back. Anyway, I'm just so happy that I could cry. I don't play favorites with my kids,but she is the one I'v been though a lot with. She will be 14 tommorrow! Wow, I can't wait to see how much she has grown... Yahoo, good news for a change!!!

Thank you guys! I'm a little nervose too! I don't want her comming home and going back to her old ways! It was horrible cleaning up her room when she left to find suiside notes and blood drawings! ~~~~~~~~~`shudder~~~~~~~ I don't know if I should bring it up or leave it alone. For now I'll leave it alone and pray we can have the happiest time!

Hi Zoom,

I'm so happy for you. I know how hard it has been to not see your daughter for such a long time. About the negative stuff, why don't you just play it by ear and see how it goes. I hope you have the best time together.

Love, Anna

TY again you guys... She said she will be flying in on the 16 of June, so I still have a little while to wait! I did tell her Dad I'd pay for half the ticket,so I guess I need to talk to him... I still get very upset when I have to talk to him! Once in a while we do hit it off (he is very sweet to me if his wife is not in ear shot.what a smooze...) But most of the time we fight. I'm not afraid of him,but I don't trust him and old feelings come up. I hadent the need to talk to him for many years,nor did he call here much to talk to his daughter,so this is all very difficult for me. Yes....... I get jelouse when he and his wife braggs about things,but I try not to show it. LOL, it's funny when we do something like get a new computer, fix our house then my daughter tells me a few weeks later that they are doing the same thing (not that I hit her up for information, I swear). It's all just too funny! I think though my daughter plays games and gets us both to compete.

I am so happy for you and your daughter.

Let the past remain there, and let the future remain a mystery, and just live in the beauty of today, now and when she comes home.

Hugs
Ann

TY P and indigo, yessssssssssssssss my daughter and I both deserve this. She has been working so hard on trying to do the right thing. It has not been easy for her,but she came through with flying colors! I wish I could of never asked her Dad for help,but it seemed to work out! They both I do have to say are very much alike,but he is bigger and badder than her. I'm sure at times it was rough for them both,bet better him than me

Zoomer I am dancing right along with dotcom. Great news there is nothing in the world as good as spending time with our children. I know you are excited about the visit. Love you Zoomer.

Surpise surprise, I actully had a nice conversation with her Dad. I asked him how much the ticket was and he said don't worry about it. Hummmmm makes me wonder. Anyway, the big deal with him for her flying out at Christmas or any break was that she was going to fly alone. Now I find out that she is going to fly alone and like I told him before, she will have a stewardess as a baby sitter! Duh!!! It's perfectly safe for a 14 year old to fly alone with paid services from the air line! I think this trip will make her feel real grown up! I'm just too excited!!!
