alex will be living with my brother tim and my parents for this next school year...
after a lot of praying, talking, and listening...we've all (alex included) have decided that the best place for alex next year is with them. alex has always been very close to all of them and tim (and my brother joe) have been alex's surrogate father's from day one. even though he's not thrilled with not being able to finish high school in menomonie, alex said he'd rather live with them vs. brian...
ah, yes...brian...without trashing him in public, i'll just say that God gave a very clear message to all of us that alex living with brian would not be in alex's best interest...once again i was reminded very clearly that just because someone can father a child, it does not make them that child's dad...make sense? i am forever grateful that my brothers and my dad stepped up long, long ago and took on the responsibility of loving and raising alex as their own...most kids don't get that. he's one of the fortunate ones.
now, i just have to figure out what school district he is in for next year and then get him enrolled. please continue prayers that alex will transition well...he's never handled change very well and he's a very nervous about this new situation...
oh, yes, i did have those last minute thoughts of guilt and wondering if i was making the right decision...amazing how quickly that disappeared when i moved his end table and found his pipe...
