And I've been fighting to get my oldest and I finally have him.

He's nine years old and he's finally with me.

I'm sorry, I'm just so happy that he's with me.

Um, surreal.

I was fighting for it and it just happened in an instant, you know, and I was just so happy.

And, uh, you know, we're building our, we're starting to build our routine, you know, we're starting to build our little schedule, uh, with my son, you know, the old, my, my oldest Draven and, um,

he seems so happy there.

He never wanted to go home anyways when he did come and visit.

And that's why I got the two bedroom, to be able to have the space for both of them.

And I want to give them what I never had.

I want them to be able to have their voice.

I want them to have a choice in what they want to do.

I want them to feel safe to come to me to tell me anything, right?

And I've been practicing that with my oldest because through the transition between coming with me and coming from his dad, you know, there's a difference, you know, and there's some, you know, issues in between that we're, you know, kind of smoothing out in the process.

But I just love that.

i'm present enough today that i'm here enough today as my whole self to be able to be there for my son like my mom tried you know and she did the very best she could and i love my mother but today we have more tools we have more knowledge um

We have more information, right?

So I want to carry all of that into, I want to pour all of that into my son.

And I want to, you know, make him realize what Harvest Home made me realize.

You are enough.
