Stunned Silence

"He's coming here," she said.

My eyes got wide, my jaw went slack, and I'm not sure I didn't quit breathing for a couple of seconds. I simply couldn't believe my ears.

We were all in shock...and still are to an extent.

Granddaddy has agreed to come north.

Wow...yet another example in our lives of how God teaches us not to plan too far out. I got my question of yesterday morning answered last night in a fashion I wasn't exactly expecting. I had been wondering what we were going to do since Savannah really didn't want to go back to Florida (health reasons) and I really didn't want to be there by myself...and the other options just weren't very exciting either.

This creates a whole new massive shift in our lives; one that is going to take a lot of work...I'm kind of groping in the dark at the moment, just scribbling here as I try to fully grasp the whole notion of my Florida-born and raised grandfather coming to the mid-west to live. However, I suppose I ought to be used to such things now after eight years of the normal state of life being one of abnormality...

So...what do I think of the idea?

In the long run, I think it will be best for our family. Mom's right, this way she can take care of Savannah...and yes, I do need both my parents. I think I have kind of gotten used to being rather independent, not that that is completely bad, but I still need that parental guidence that you don't get day-to-day when you live half-a-dozen states apart.

I will miss my reenacting friends and the events, but I reckon I'll stay in the loop--I am still the webmistress of the site...and there is always the possiblity of being down there at the same time as an event. I suppose. At least I can fool myself into thinking that. :) I have to stay in contact with Mr. K anyway since he's my narrator...and Mrs. K sells my socks...

We also just joined the church down there...but they will understand.

My horse is another consideration, but I think Mr. Dan will take him for awhile. (They might actually get Snip finished, too!)

Nothing is solid at this point--and there is always the possiblity that after a couple of weeks, or months, Granddaddy may say, "I want to go home!" and then...well, if or when that happens...then I'll cross that bridge.

Anyway, I'd better get on with my day...there are things to be done!

P.S. I get my cat, too. :) I think Curio will make a lovely little house cat...

Wowee! Kazowee! That is quite an announcement!!! It really seems the only answer for now. I do hope Granddaddy will be cooperative all the way. We will add this to our prayer list for your family and the result... all for God's Glory. I am sure you all have a lot of planning and figuring to do especially logistics wise. Love you all.

I'm stunned, too! Of course, selfishly I thought... 'does this mean you're not coming back?' But God's plan is so perfect, and this sounds like just what your family needs right now, even though it will take work to put it into place. No more long distances between you all, your family can be whole again, and you need each other to be sure. I'm so glad we you all blog and we can keep up with you that way. (((HUGS))) Praying for you as you transition and plan.

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
