[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 623583, member: 17461"] Holding you and your son in my thoughts and prayers through this visit, Lucy. I so love it, when I first glimpse one of my children after a long time. Love the feel of them, love the sound of their voices and their smiles. Just for those few moments? I am so fiercely happy. That is what I wish for you, too. Issues come up too soon. It happens every time, and how could it not, when our children are so troubled? But I carry those first moments in my heart for the longest time, afterword. Here is something I have found so helpful when I am anticipating a stressful thing. I promise myself ahead of time that, once everyone has gone home and I know what transpired, I will sit alone and remember the good parts while drinking a cup of hot, fresh coffee from a beautifully fragile china cup that belonged to my maternal grandmother. I envision the times she may have felt as worried, or as confused, or as happy, as I am now, drinking from her cup. This practice always comforts me. Cedar [/QUOTE]
