No News is Good News…?

I haven’t been posting any Raven Updates lately because I haven’t been receiving any. Unfortunately I am only a “step-grandmother.” Since I have chosen to separate from her “blood” grandfather, I am reminded of my place in the “family scheme.” And, furthermore, since there is no chance of “reconciliation” with aforementioned grandfather, I am pushed even further out of the loop. I don’t want to sound bitter or resentful, because I am not. (Don’t get me started on the pain and heartache that I am feeling, though.) I am thankful that I was able to be there for them through the toughest part. I am thankful that Raven is on the road to recovery as of the last time that we spoke. My main focus is, and has always been, those kids. (She has a 4 year old brother.) Therefore, I don’t want to start whining now. I thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers through her ordeal. Again, this was proof that prayer works. I continue to pray for them, and hope that their mother is able to continue supporting them. as well as herself. Needless to say, I will update again if I get a knock on the door or a call on the phone…
