After the 7 hour drive to Athens and the 4 hour court hearing we now have the custody of my two nephew's. It has been a challenging day between april crying, Randall acting like it doesn't bother him and seeing the boys with the clueless look on their face. They have no idea that their world is about to be turned upside down.
They are good boys...a little misguided....but good boys. I can see their potential. They need structure, they need love, they need attention. It is something that we can give them. We both look forward to the challenge. I hope that Randall gets his head straight so that they can be re-united with his parents at a later date. I truly hope it happens. In the mean time, my prayer is that Rebecca and I give these kids the life they deserve, that we let our light shine and they are drawn to us like a moth to a flame. This is my prayer.
The greatest thing I admire about this trip is Mehkya. She has been amazing and it makes me proud knowing that I had something to do with the way she is handling all of this. She is the maturest 8 year old i've ever met. She makes me so proud that she is my daughter. If this is who she will be 10, 20, 30 years from now I will die a happy man. She is such an amazing person.
This journey will be difficult but we will persevere! I know that this is my chance to pay forward the love I was given by those who imprinted my life. Those like Mark and Rosie, Grand ma dukes and others.
Until next time.
