Three years………so many things have changed but the one thing that remains constant is the overwhelming need to have my son back! Although I know that he is safe and well cared for I will forever long to be the one who gets to be there for him. There have been so many changes for us over these three years, some good, some bad, what I have found is that no matter where you are in life whether things are going great for you in your personal and professional life or you find yourself struggling there is a misconception that the more time that elapses the easier it becomes to accept, to incorporate, to adapt to living life without your child. Although as I said before even though I have no doubt my son is well and in good care it remains an emotional roller coaster for me…….this is what I have come to accept over these three years! I am learning to enjoy and appreciate the happy times, and when I feel the overwhelming sadness am learning to let it in knowing that it is a part of who I am, that sometimes I get to control the ups and downs and sometimes I don’t. I know he is with me keeping me on track……every once in a while reminding me that I still have a reason to be, that I am where I need to be for now that it’s o.k. to be happy and sad and everywhere in-between.

Lucas will be 10 in just two months….despite the differences that Gary and I have had the one thing that I know we are both passionate about is making sure that Lucas has the best life possible. We don’t always agree on how that should be accomplished but despite our differences he is an amazing person. He is happy and well adjusted despite what he has been through the last three years. He makes me laugh, he is fun to be around, he is healthy, and growing like a weed and best of all he is still willing to give me hugs and kisses whenever I need them…..something I am sure he will think is not so cool sometime very soon. Take care.
