On the move
We’ve moved five times since September 2018 🤕
I got a new job and was really looking forward to starting a peaceful life up north 😂
But our office wasn’t ready, so we ended up in temporary housing and a hotel in October.
In November, we moved in with my mom, but it was hard for her to have my grandson there with us. Plus, I was missing work, and my little one needed a better daycare that could handle his hours and wouldn’t keep sending him home just because he wasn’t fully potty trained at 3 years old.
Then, in December, my girl had a stroke in Vancouver. On top of that, all four of my grandkids were struggling with their own challenges.
I made a quick trip to Vancouver to see Kaila at Saint Paul’s Hospital, then came back for family court to sort things out for my grandson. I’ve finally got primary parental responsibilities for him now.
In January, we moved to Smithers into a two-bedroom place 🙏🏽. There’s not much housing in Smithers, so I thought maybe this was a sign that things were finally going to get better 😁.
On March 13th, I had a meeting with the VACFSS ministry about my baby granddaughter who’s in foster care in Surrey. I found out that extended family couldn’t take her, so now I’ll have to step in ❤️.
At the end of March, my daughter had a second stroke and is currently at VGH. I haven’t been able to see her yet.
I couldn’t see any way forward without heading back to the lower mainland.
God is in control 🙏🏽
