Part 2
Ok here it is. Don't know quite where to begin so I will begin with a phone call I received back in June. It was Katie. (For those of you who don't remember, Katie was my son's last gf before going to prison for 3 years after he kicked her in the butt! Son spent 3 years in prison for sposal abuse).
She asked how he was, and if he could talk with her. I told her first he wasn't at my house, and secondly I didn't think it was a good idea anyway. She proceeded to tell me she wasn't feeling well. I said I was sorry, hoped she got well soon, and with that said I would call her back later. I had no intention of calling her back or even telling my son she had called.
Three weeks later, my son called to tell me a mutual gf called him to say Katie had passed away! OMG, I was devastated to hear that because of the way I had just brushed her off! I actually liked her when she was sober. Poor thing, she just never did pull it together and died because of a combination of drugs and booze. She would have been 44 years old in November.
Now about me.
I have been sick, really sick, with SHINGLES!! For those of you who have never had them, take my advice and get the Shingles Vaccine. It has been 3 months since I first got ill, and it has been a living hell! I was given vicodine for pain, along with another pain killer, but was too afraid to take either. I was afraid because I remember the doc telling me they could be addictive! YIPES, just what I needed.
OK, over the shingles. Next day get the call from my granddaughter who is still in rehab. Remember, I agreed to pay her storage as long as she stayed in rehab?? Well, it's been a year now with a couple of weeks off in between 'cause her 2-1/2 year old had a Herbes breakout! OMG!
Next time I heard from her it was because she wanted us to take her child. Apparently, the child had been staying with the paternal grandma. GD finds out the grandma is doing drugs!! They yank the child out of there place her with the GD, but tell her baby cannot remain for long, and if they couldn't find a place for her with relatives she would be placed in a foster home.
Remember, GD is in rehab because court said this or child was going to be taken away.
After a short discussion with Mr. Dev, we decided it was the right thing to do. Social service came to visit to check out our home. Not only did she like the home, she loved the lunch Mr. Dev prepared for her and also the bottle of homemade wine, and homemade vinegar he gave her. Also wanted the recipe for the homemade bread!! Geeze, can we get on with the paperwork!
We then had to be fingerprinted and confess any crimes we had committed. That took a while! Just kidding.
OK, we are good to go we passed all tests with flying colors. We actually are excited about having the child here with us. Next call I get is from social worker saying, oops, just found out there is another child in the works! OH NO! Yep, going to have the child in November!! (It was the 2-week-leave that did it! Baby was contagious so couldn't stay in rehab. Went to stay with Grandda for 2 weeks and just had to see the old boyfriend.)
Anyone want to hear what's next??? Chapter 3 coming. Just too much to tell in one sitting. Ya'll will start drifting off!
Hugs, Devastated
