It's been a long while

It's been a long while since we've been on here to update. A lot has happened, unfortunately, Tom's father passed away unexpectedly. It's brought much sadness to our home. Tom is battling the issues he had with his father and now not having the opportunity to really clear them up. Worrying about his mother, his father was the typical generation gap, "The man does everything". It saddens me that he will never get to meet his grandson, Tom's first child. I'm glad he had the opportunity to see all the Beautiful pictures of him and get to 'know him" without really getting to meet him.
With all this going on, it has pushed some of our last few things back. We now have to wait another 3 weeks before we can get the home study officially completed. Tom needs to obtain one more court paper. They we can get it all sent to UCSIS. We got so close and now I feel we are so far away.
It makes me sooooo sad everyday that he can't be rocked to sleep at night, can slide down the slide we got for him, let the dogs lick him to death. I want him home SOOOOO much. I know God will only give us what we can handle, but right now, I feel like I'm about to exploded that it's too much. Please pray for us and that Bryce will come home to us SOON!
We are now conducting a fundraiser for all of those interested and love coffee.
