No matter how bad the situation gets, or the mess we find ourselves in, there always seems to be at least one "Window Of Opportunity" to get things back on track. If we have the desire, and the determination, we can make it happen.
This is what we have always tried to teach our Children. We had some awesome news the other day. Our Daughter called, and told us that she received the first step of approval and the support she needed in order to return home. The next phase should be happening in a few weeks, and if everything goes alright, it looks like she could be home with us very soon, anywhere between March to June.
How beautifully that photo goes with your story, Rick. I do know exactly what you are saying. Hasn't happened for us . . yet. Wishing you all the best in the coming year.
I love old silo pictures, I would like to do a series on them. What a great xmas present you received. I hope it is sooner than that. You have been worried about this for some time. Thank you Lord and make it true, please.
I like the message about the 'window of opportunity' and it's good to hear the news about your daughter. May I take this opportunity to personally thank you, Rick, for all your time and comments during the year and I wish you and your family, a very merry Christmas.
Oh Rick! I am so happy for you and your family! I don't know the story but I feel the emotion in your words and photo! You are a remarkable man and I want to thank you for adding so much to this project! Your insight and emotion are inspiring! Merry Christmas and may next year bring you peace and happiness!
I always tell my kiddos to have a Plan B, ie. another opportunity to fall back on. Glad your daughter is able to come home--where is she at? Really nice B&W
Beautiful words Rick!!! Definetely, desire and the determination are the key to everything we want to acomplish in life.
I do not know the story about your daughter but it surely sounds as great news !!!
Merry Chistmas to you and your family and may the New Year be filled with joy!!!
@clarissajohal Clarissa, several years ago she made some very poor choices and ended up spending the last three years in prison. It was a tough road, especially as a Parent, but some of life's most valuable lessons are learned the hard way. She is a different person, accomplished a lot since she's been away. That has been a huge focus of my writing these past few years, not just about her, but about coping, getting through those difficult times. It will be nice to have her home.
Nice B & W
Rick what good news. Thanks you for sharing your story with us. As a parent, this could happen to any one of us out here too.
2012 is looking very bright for you. I have followed your the story of your children over the past couple of years. Good times are not far ahead for you & your family Rick .
@digitalrn Ah, got it--I kind of thought that may have been what you were referring to--decided to ask, just because. Life is about making mistakes and learning from them, sometimes. Enjoy your time with her, Rick. All the best to your family
Wonderful news!!! A great gift in the season of gifts! It really will be a NEW year for you and your family. I'm sending up a prayer of thanksgiving right now!
