[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 683618, member: 19617"] All Maika’i, Leaf. This seems to be good news. Something is happening. Wheels are turning and on the move. I truly understand the feeling of getting a call out of the blue from law enforcement, as my feelings were so similar when I was contacted without warning from the prison intake center. I felt the same emotions you described. From the call I received, I realized the person I was hearing from was on my side also and understood. I give thanks for the prosecutor who had [I]kokua [/I]for you. And he found Rain. I know it will mean a lot to Rain, for you to be there to support her as she does the right thing. She may not know it or show it, but it will make an impact. ~ Just to show your girl you are there for her. You are right ~ it will be hard. But you do not need to stay for a long time if you feel it is not wise. Also, remember ~ this is not about you. If I had to do something like this, I would keep a very low profile. Give it some thought. You know your girl the best. And the setting of the court hearing and your presence in the courtroom / or not should be decided regarding what is best for Rain. I would ask myself these questions if I was in your situation, to determine what the extent of my presence should be ….. · Will she want you there to hear the worst of it? · Or will your presence make it harder for her to testify? · Will it anger her that you are there in the courtroom to hear everything? · Will she try to ignore you? · If you might get emotional, will that disturb her? · If she gets emotional with you there, how will the effect of it be (on you? on her? on the outcome?) etc. Perhaps you might just let her see you are there. If you get a chance to talk to her beforehand, ask her if she would like you to be present in the courtroom or if she would prefer you wait outside the courtroom? But that you are there for her, and are confident she is doing right and can take care of what she needs to do. Maybe you could seek the opinion of the prosecutor on these matters if you get to see him. This is a big step for Rain. Honestly, she is very likely relieved it has come to this, as you are. Think of this as possibly a big step towards a “turning point.” You both have been very brave through the ordeals of your “face-offs” during the last months. And this is another one, of a different nature. Stay onipa`a, ikaika, Tita! You can do it. You are going to be alright. Tomorrow will dawn – the new day – Ka la hou. [/QUOTE]
