We had our first court date last Wednesday with a court commissioner. We will get to see Cinderella on Christmas day for the next few days after. We can't WAIT to see her. We learned some things when we went to court. First of all, the ex told her atty that she didn't think that my honey wanted to see Cinderella after August. Say WHAT? Second of all she told her atty that Cinderella & my mom didn't have a close relationship. Our attorney laughed & said, "I have a whole stack of papers proving otherwise."
We are now awaiting our next court date. At least we have a temp order in place so that we CAN see her.
The honey & I are a bit apprehensive to see her because we are unsure what she's been told. When I dropped her off in August I told her, "It'll be a while before we can see you but I promise daddy & I are going to fight for you." We've kept our promise up. We have bits & pieces of what she is acting like now & I'm unsure how or why she's doing what she's doing.
All we can do now is pray for the best. When we pick her up on the 25th, we will be bringing her back to our home to have OUR Christmas with her. We will be taking her to Grammy's grave so she can see where Grammy is & hopefully start to get some closure.
The most heart breaking part of my mom's service was when we were at the graveyard & after the words were said, the great grand babies laid yellow roses on her casket, The grand babies laid white roses, us kids laid light pink, daddy laid 1 single red rose on her casket. The honey & I laid Cinderella's rose on top of my mom's casket for her. Together we walked up, tears streaming, and laid the rose up there for my Cinderella. I sobbed when I turned around because we tried in vain to get Cinderella. She SHOULD'VE been there. She WANTED to be there.
In the end, we did everything we could. All that's left is prayer. My Cinderella has an amazing guardian angel looking out for her now.
