God answers prayers

I finally got word that Nia is ok. Houston has some power and all seems to be getting back to normal. Hopefully she will be able to go back to school and resume a 'normal' life again. I miss her very much and I hope to see her sometime in the future. Thanksgiving may not be feasible, nor Christmas. I have my hopes on spring break. You never know how much you miss someone until they are gone. Granted, she drives me crazy when I'm with her on a daily basis but believe this, I think about her every day and I miss having her around. She is a very important part of my life and I know that as she gets older, I will miss the things I will never get to see, her becoming a young lady, her hanging out with her friends, new things that she will experience, her observations of life and her surroundings. I miss her laugh, her smile, her hugs and kisses, her funny expressions, her attitude, her smell. I miss doing her hair and watching her eat something she likes. I can't share this with Jonathon because he doesn't understand nor care. He is in another place and he still needs to heal. I don't know what happened in that house that has made him so bitter. Of course he will not share his feelings and experiences with me. I can only guess. How long will it take to get my son back? How long until I see Nia again? How can I move on with my life when I have these nagging questions burning a hole in my brain? No wonder my neck and back are tight. I'm carrying this around and I see no relief in sight. I have faith that this will work itself out somehow. Perhaps when the divorce is final, I will begin to see light at the end of the tunnel. One can only pray this will be so.
