[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 652902, member: 15796"] I just love that program and everyone in it! I have really taken to a couple of the women in there that M is also close to. I got to see my daughter be her true self yesterday. She saw a girl crying and went over and hugged her. I saw her with the other children and saw how much they love her. She is SO good with them! :) My favorite moment was when she looked at me and told me that she has never felt this close to me. She said that she has always loved me, but gosh, she REALLY loves me. <3 We are all beyond blessed that she is there. She said yesterday that she never wants to leave. They are renting another property out there so there is even more graduate housing. I think there are around 18 graduates still living on site. I don't blame them - why leave? It is a community where they share meals, church, and have that support right there. Yet they work, there is child care on site, and very little cost. There is a woman there in bad shape needing 24 hour surveillance. She sat with the staff at visitation yesterday - I thought she was mentally challenged but it is drugs - I don't know which one. M had her sit next to her on free night Friday night and gave her all her movie snacks. :) It gets heartbreaking taking Connor away each time we see her. He reaches and calls out for her and she holds it in until we leave and then loses it. :( but they say she is not there yet and I trust them. This is too important to rush anything... We will see her this Friday night at church. Our church is putting on a huge Easter production - it is going to be amazing!!! :) [/QUOTE]
