YES.... it's true. Devin Michael my oldest son, what can I say? Yesterday at 4 am I received a phone call from my lost son, who for the last week had been living on the street in Tri-cities after being kicked out of his "loving" fathers home for taking his step- sisters I-POD without permission.
For a man who fought me so hard in a devious most vicious manner to win over custody he has proven without doubt that the only interest he had in my children's lives was in fact ZERO. This has been the longest most agonizing year for me, worrying daily about my boys, not speaking to them and hearing things that no mother should never hear about her children.
Devin called me at 4 am cold, crying and seriously needing his mama. I immediatly called the nearest hotel and booked him a room. He told me that he has been going to school but the burden of it all and his guilt of not standing up for what he knew was right had finally got the best of his soul.
AMEN I thought all my efforts and YEARS of telling him to be strong and keep on track were in vain but in fact mothers if you preach hard enough, the message will sink in.
I called Pasco High School to inquire about Devin's grades and in deed he is getting all A's but his counselor told me Devin had been struggling tremendously with "his home life and school had been a refuge"
Well I could not be happier that my son will now get to graduate from Hazen and he will be home, after all HOME IS WHERE YOUR MOTHER IS :)
My dad went and picked Devin up from the hotel and he is spending a few days with pop and nana and he will be here this Saturday afternoon.
Devin only has a few clothes and nothing to his name, it's like preparing for a new child all over again. I am going bed shopping today and am looking forward to giving him much needed TLC and the guidance he has lacked so severely the last year.
I HAVE MY BABY BACK.. thank you God is all I can say for bringing him home to me. Keep Dev in your thoughts he has alot of soul searching to do.
