Our hearts are in such sympathy with yours Paula!    I am asking Our Lady to place her mantle over your dear son in the hours he is away from you!

I am holding you and your son in my thoughts and prayers today. I hope his first day of school goes well.

Please let us know how he and you are doing.

I have been following your journey, in quiet prayer for the past(year?)and will continue to pray for you, and especially your ds as he is off to school.
Please do let us know how things go. I pray there are blessings and signs that it is going to be OK. I am sure it is hard for a homeschooling Momma's heart. Peace to you!!

The last two days have been hard. Yesterday was Open House and Picture Day. While we were there the other parent showed up and started yelling -- right in front of the office. My kids were scared, as was I, so we left and returned later in the afternoon. We had a meeting with the Principal and also the teacher so they have the facts. My BIL is the police officer for the school, so my son knows he will be safe there. We went back today and the other parent was there insisting that he would take my son to the classroom and that I could leave.

Well, I don't think so.

I walked my son to the classroom and he followed us. After my son was in the classroom the teacher closed the door and my daughter and I walked in the opposite direction. He started to follow us and then stopped and went the other way. We walked around the school and then left by the office - and he was standing in the office.

We ran out to the parking lot where my BIL was standing. I told him everything that transpired yesterday and today and started shaking and crying. My daughter was too. My BIL comforted both of us and said he'd make sure that administration knew the real story.

I have to pick my son up this afternoon. I'm not sure what I'll do if the other parent is there.

Paula,

   What an absolutely sad and difficult situation for your children. My heart is breaking so much for them, and for you as well. I am praying, and offering my suffering for you too.

Love,
Tracy

Adding my prayers and thinking of you often. Remember to pray to St. MIchael the Archangel to protect you if you are scared.
