[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 760331, member: 19522"] Morning Copa. We will be okay, one day at a time. Hello RN, thank you so much for checking in. I went yesterday and picked up a mini crib we found on marketplace. The family who sold it also pitched in a playpen, that was so nice of them. I called a friend who works in an agency that helps in these situations and she provided Hoku with formula, diapers, a car seat and stroller, so we are feeling extra blessed. There is a silver lining and I am so grateful. I don’t know why either, RN. I suppose the reward is in the overcoming of it, regardless of what our wayward children choose. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers. I am glad to be back amongst people who understand the challenges we face. Thank you Copa. Hoku and family were over last night and baby looks good, although noticeably stressed. He has the biggest smile and when I approached him, I swear he remembered me. It was so good to hold him again. Hoku is able to text his former caregiver with any questions she has and that is good. She breast-fed her little one, so bottle feeding is a new learning curve. Hoku is busy at work preparing for students graduation (she teaches hula at a cultural based charter school). Fortunately, she is able to bring baby to work with her, so he will be able to bond a little quicker. We are blessed to have some resources coming in with baby items, diapers and clothes. The rest will be love, patience, and time for baby to get used to his new family. He was a bit fussy last night and I had this sadness and then anger well up in me. I had to go outside and take a breather. I am so mad at his mother. I know that doesn’t do anybody any good, but it is true. I am so thankful that Hoku took this upon herself. Baby will be immersed in her hula world, the songs and dance of his people, the rituals, chants, rich colors of vibrant garb, lei making and festivities. Her daughter is attending a Hawaiian language preschool and is well along her way to learning to be bilingual. Baby will have the same opportunity if the arrangement continues. That will be decided by whether or not his mother steps up and the courts. So, uNeil then we will take this day by day and love and cherish him. I shall have to keep a keen eye on my granddaughter as I know she is going through a lot of different emotions. By the grace of God, we shall get through this together. I hope Hoku was able to get some rest. I know day by day baby will come round and develop a routine. There will be an adjustment period for all of us. Much love to you all and mahalo nui for your prayers. New Leaf [/QUOTE]
