Seriously.
There has been no court decision yet. Circumstances since last week were such that I had to contact local authorities in order to speak to my ds, resulting in ds being returned home to me.
I've submitted more documentation to the court.
Oh, that any of you lived here --- because I need some HUGS!

Oh Paula,
I wish that I was there to give you a hug. 
Maybe go do something special, just for you today if you can. Adoration? Sometimes I feel great peace and love just sitting there.
God bless you,

I love mimi's suggestion, Paula!!!! When confusion is swirling, and peace is completely elusive go to Him, the source of clarity, wisdom, justice, and peace. Rest in Him - even if just for a few moments.
I'm sending to you along with digital chocolate and a digital glass of wine tonight!  I suggest you enjoy your digital glass of wine over something competely uplifting and having nothing to do with your present circumstances...do you have the latest issue of Victoria Magazine?
Many, many to you dearest, Paula!

The warmest Aussie - "she'll be right, mate!" type! I too, just wish I could deliver them in person!
So I'll offer some "she'll be right, mate!" prayers as I head off to bed instead! 
No matter what, you'll be right, God will carry you through and bring you out stronger for it all. For as St Paul says, "When I am weak, then I am strong."

I do wish I could these in person, Paula! Lots of prayers your way.
Dr. Jenn's prescription: dark chocolate, glass of wine, put your feet up and watch some sappy movies, like Jane Austen, and cry your eyes out.

Praying hard for you, dear friend, and offering my day for your intentions.
If you can't make it to church today, perhaps you could set aside a little quiet time with Jesus, in reading or in prayer? Our pastor's homily Sunday was all about finding time - at home, in the car, wherever - to rest in God's love, knowing He is always there for us.
It can't be coincidence that St. Nicholas is the patron saint of judges AND children. I'll be asking (well, badgering) him to pray for you and your family.

Cajun homeland to you my friend...one day this will all be over and you'll be at my kitchen table sipping iced tea and scooping out a serving from the big black gumbo pot! Til then, chocolate and Jesus, my friend--not necessarily in that order  !

Oh, I am so sorry for you and especially your son.
Mother Mary, hug Paula and give her strength! You know the pain of motherhood, please give Paula comfort!
God bless,
