Another visitation
We have a scheduled visitation with Thomas' BM next Friday. We do have a new SW so after talking with her, we do feel better. She understands our concerns. The SW agrees that we should either be in the hall outside of the visitation room, or in the room with the BM, Thomas and the SW. We pray that this visitation will go smoother. We have been made aware of of certain circumstances (we won't disclose) that could effect the visitation. What we do need is lots of prayers for this meeting and for everyone's hearts. I pray that this BM will see that Thomas is in the best place he should be. I pray that her heart is changed and that someday in her life, she accepts Christ. I pray for her protection as she continues down her path of destruction. I pray that when Thomas is old enough to know about his BM, that he understands she had an addiction that controlled her life. I pray that BM and Thomas will understand that for 9 months Thomas was formed in her body, but was formed in our hearts, where he lives forever.

Dear Trish & Jim,
I read Feb & Jan blog in that order last night. I tried to comment & the site expired 'after' I wrote you. I was sooo bummed. I love your story but hated the visitation but everything happens for a reason. I hate to see little ones go through that but the adults needed to see Thomas's love/attachment for you both.
We know the joys, the happiness, of raising children and enjoy your stories. Brings back memories of when ours were that tiny, ohhh the love & the fun.
Unfortunately we also know too well the pain of growing up, but none the less it brings you closer to one another. Family bonds!
We faced a similar instance a little over a yr ago. Mary ripped our family apart. Dani (at the time 14)knew what was going on but not Ryan & of course not us. When Tom spoke to Ryan(13)a couple days after, Ryan just sobbed & was so confused, as we were too. We were blind sighted by the cruel actions/plans of Mary & Dani. Our hearts were ripped from our chests in a moment & the feelings of loss overwhelmed us. Crying for days & heart ache, mixed w anger & confusion. Let alone we were already dealing with the losses after Tom's sudden death.
It took so much for us to get through one day and only God could help us. A year later, we are able to cope, but still hurt, just not as much. We don't know what the future holds, only God does and it's all in His hands.
We will continue praying, especially for next Friday. My heart bleeds for you knowing what 'could' happen. We're hoping & praying it goes much, much better. We are so excited & happy for you, it's been a long time waiting & praying. We love you guys!
Cindy & Tom
