It's been a very long winter and spring. I haven't posted here for so long and am hesitant to ask.

We have a huge court hearing today at 9 am regarding my son. This has been such a huge battle. We can use every prayer you can spare.

Please know that I continue to hold all your prayers in my intentions.

*************************************************

I was nervous as usual. The hearing went well and the judge stated he would make a decision and get it out in the mail. The hearing was over so I thanked him and stood up to leave. That was when the other party started asking the judge questions. The judge again stated (twice) that he would make a decision and notify us in writing. The other party started to ask another question and the judge said "if you don't like my decision you can appeal it."

So, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

Thank you for all the prayers. As I stated previously this winter and lack-of-spring has been very long and very hard. Many of you know what we've been through since January 2008. Yes, it's been almost 4 years. I'm really praying that soon it will all be over.
