Today has been very emotional! Have you ever had a moment where the light bulb comes on and you know you have to make a big decision in your life? That happened to me this morning. I have held my Grandson tight to me and I have been over-protective of him because of the lifestyle choices his Mom and Dad made in the past (addiction). His Dad has been clean for quite awhile and my Daughter will be clean for 1 year soon. It is time for me to let go!!! Starting next week, my Grandson will be going to afternoon karate camp 3 days a week and when his Dad get a new car (his died) he will pick him up the other 2 days from school. I will see my Grandson on the weekends they come up or if they get into a bind and need me and of course I am welcomed to see him anytime. He will be staying a lot with me during the summer also. My Daughter needs to be the Mother now. She thanked me and my late Husband for being over protective of him and taking care of him when she didn’t. She said he was the awesome kid he is because of us. I know this is the thing to do. I cried a lot and prayed about it. So, I will be helping out for a while till everything is in place. After school we are going to the park and then this evening the 3 of us are going to a movie. Tomorrow is his birthday bash and then I am going home. Monday is a holiday and no school but he is going with his Mom half of the day to her workplace and the other half she is working from home. I felt a little stress and emotions that were hard to deal with but I dealt with them and didn’t flee to the casino. It is time for me to start my new life and start putting the pieces together. It is exciting and scary at the same time but I am looking forward to it.
