Another Chapter in Life

The things we choose and the paths we all take can have ripple effects on everyone around us. We do not live unto ourselves, but the things we do, both good and bad effect not only us, but our families, our friends, especially those we love dearest.

At this writing, my second eldest daughter has chosen a path that has caused great pain for her entire family. She has been homeless, and just lost custody of her two children to the Social Service agency in the area she's living in. There is a second grandchild born to us named Gabrielle, born June 8th. There are many questions, but no answers are coming. She chose to keep us in the dark about her homelessness, and about her baby.

My past makes it impossible for me to get them out of foster care, and my daughter back here to relative safety. Following her husband's lead, she has elected to mess with underworld characters, probably trying to find a quick wealth....but that sort of thing does not come, or comes with a very heavy price.

I have two grand children in foster care that I can not help at this time. I am very wounded. I wish I had been a better man my whole life. I wish my eldest daughter and her husband could get them out. I am amiss of solutions.

My wife is beside herself, Jen's sisters are beside themselves. Even her grandmother can't help because the has to deal with my father's early alzheimers symtoms. All the while our finances suck and our own children cause us challenges normal to their teen years, but nevertheless, this adds to the stress pot.

Help Oh God, our weaknesses.
