Yesterday Joel sent me this text: "The ball is rolling. Talked to one supervisor. Tears rolling instantly. Writing a memo right now to send up the chain."
Three years and six days after he started. We might finally be getting help from the decision makers to get him home to us. At least until Nathan graduates.
If anyone ever reads this, your prayers, light, love, anything-- would be so appreciated if you could help this along to get Joel home to his family with his job intact.
Oh, and Grace is good. I'm now in her classroom regularly, twice a week. I see now...and I saw even in December, when her teacher first invited me to volunteer regularly in her classroom, that the problems stemmed mostly from the girl who was supposed to be her friend. That girl's untruthful gossip was a big part of all of the other bullying problems. Her teacher and the principal are wonderful and have even gone so far as to assign lunch seats so that Grace is at a mostly-boys table (the boys don't pick on her) and things have been so much better for her. She has learned and accepted some things. She's had to grow up too fast, but...
Grace is good.
