Carrie has moved back in with me, with her baby daughter. She had been staying with my mom in CA, but it was time for them to come home. Carrie and the father of her child got married while in CA, but Carrie learned what many of us know....marriage does not turn flaky losers into men of responsibility. Why must we learn these lessons the hard way?

oh well.
She decided to live with me so she could go to school. I have told her that I will support her and the baby, except for her car insurance, gas, diapers, etc. She can get by with a part time job. She got here too late for this semester, but she is working on signing up for next semester.
She will have a long college career...the last time she was in a "real" school was in the sixth grade. She has missed so many things in school. She has a GED, but is missing alot that will have to be made up. She knows this and is ready to get started.
Baby Hiedi is 16 months old. I love this age. She runs around, she talks a bit, but has not yet hit the terrible twos. She is an easy-going and friendly baby. She is warming up to me, but doesn't really know me since she's been gone for a year. I know that moving is hard, plus she has "lost" my mom, who was her primary grandma.
I am proud of my daughter. She is a good mom. I have total faith that she will continue improving herself and building a better life for herself and her daughter.
It has been almost ten years since our little side trip into heck and back. It was long, it was hard, it challenged everything I thought I knew and I came out a very different person than I was going in. A better person.
All the money, all the time, all the heartache, all the risks I took...all the battles were worth it. I'm glad she's home again.

No wonder Jena the Bigot doesn't allow dissenting opinions on ST: she's a failure as a parent, too! Funny how these birds flock together, huh?
