It’s been a mixed week so far. I am getting my second tattoo on Thursday and my youngest is getting examined for braces.
The appraisal for the house was today. Hopefully it gets appraised for the full amount. The house sale should close on June 7th. I will be moving out June 6th.
So the big news…
My daughter ran away from my wife’s house on Monday morning/Sunday night around midnight. I spent all day Monday, from 8am, to Tuesday at 5pm to find her. (There was a 3-4 hour break Monday night into Tuesday and a 2 hour break Tuesday afternoon.) I was running on 3.5 hours of sleep by the time I found her and I still had to take her to a 4 hour trip to the hospital. Thankfully she is healthy and safe at her grandmothers.
I could talk for hours about the journey it took to find her, the conditions I saw in the underbelly of my city, and the way my heart was broken during the episode. But the most important thing to share is the way I found hope in the darkness, rest within the hands of my goddess, and peace last night when I had my daughter safe. The power of so many people lifting my family up was palpable. I am sorry I couldn’t share here during those rough two days but I was barely online.
