Apparently my prayer has been heard.
Either that or the world of technology has been applied correctly.
Adelle is finding friends.
She is a texting crazed teen now that we've recently changed our wireless plan to allow unlimited texts (and a new phone that has a teeny tiny littel keypad). She keeps in touch with class mates better and has been invited out to a couple of movies with friends. She's actually fitting in, finding some success in the social circles of fellow teens.
As a parent I am very relieved. I see the happiness light her eyes.
As a parent I am now worried about the usual trappings that come with having a teen child. And I wonder; will I see her again?
Yet, that's how it goes and I would gladly trade our previous issues with the ones that most families deal with on a daily basis. I don't expect it to be easy but it usually isn't on the best of terms. Being able to fit in and be independent is a great tonic for past suffering.
Thank you God. I will not soon forget and will again I'm sure, need to humbly ask for your strength as we wade into future issues.
