On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Yesterday I spoke with C's therapist. To say she was unfriendly would be an understatement. That's putting it as nicely as I can possibly state. I had thought that we could meet and then we could have a talk about C. Instead she said the phone call was plenty. I don't know if she thought she wouldn't get paid or what her problem was - like I said, she wasn't very personable. To make a long story short she couldn't tell me much about C. She said she thought that his problem with biological - but she wouldn't elaborate. She said the only thing she could talk about was the incident and the problem C is having. She said he is having nightmares that someone comes in and takes he and his brother. He is having nightmares that his grandfather will hurt his mother. I tried to tell her what everyone told me about the incident and I also told her about some past incidents. I have no idea what she gathered from the conversation. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. The only thing I could take from it was that 1. DIL did offer/allow me to visit with this therapist. I thought that was very nice. 2. The therapist did say that it is best if we don't accelerate DIL's behavior when she is in her manic mood. We should back away nicely and tell her that we've come at a bad time. She said that I was to go to their house and visit with the boys. They need structure.
