Kenny is STAYING!

Well with much prayer God has worked fast. Kenny has decided this is his home and he wants to remain here with us. We are delighted he is back and here to stay. His natural father in NJ is sad but he knows its what will be best for Kenny. His nat. father has a lot of 'issues' in his life and Kenny wouldn't benefit from that. The living arrangements he was in was also a bit unusual.

But anyway, he is here and we had to literally rearrange the house to make space for him again. We didn't mind one bit, we just did what we had to do. Eric says he knew Kenny would be back, and he said in a year. Well, it was actually just 3 weeks shy of a year. Ironically he is going back to NJ on August 3rd for a short time to say goodbye and get the rest of his items. He then returns back on the 24th for good. 

My biggest concern... Kenny finding friends and doing well in the High School. 

Kenny's biggest concerns..... Are there any girls around here? LOL 

Kenny has arrived!

Well what a day it has been. My Kenny has come back to NC to see us. I feel so complete and the hole in my heart is filled, for now. 

I left the kids with my mother in law and headed to RDU. My God's good works I was given a parent pass to go to the gate to get him. Typically that doesn't happen for 17 yr olds but it did for me and I thank God for that. The flight was delayed and I waited patiently. I finally see the plane land and I knew it was his. I just knew. It taxied to the gate and my phone rang and it was him saying he landed. I said I KNOW! I can see your plane. I was so excited to see him come out and I just stood there waiting. A nice lady looked over at me and asked me who  I was waiting for because I looked like I was going to cry. Thats all I needed... my eyes were already filling up with joy and I stood there and told her about Kenny. She nearly started to cry too. Then I saw him. He was so tall and slender. I was shocked. He smiled HUGE when he saw me and I cried my eyes out once I got my arms around him. I was so thrilled to see him. I cried and hugged him more and told him i missed him so much. I then felt this urgency to get out of the airport right now. LOL I was like "Oh Gosh.. I am crying in front of strangers!"  I actually think that everyone else around me was crying too. LOL It was a very sweet moment. 

So we are seriously thinking of keeping him longer. We'll see.. we'll know by tomorrow. We are really sort of hoping he considers coming home for good. Please pray that God's plan has this in store for us. 

Thanks.
