A while ago, I posted about our "almost daughter", Sherry, asking for your prayers for her. I have an update... she had her baby, a son named Owen Lee. Although I must admit to not having been ready to be a grandma and not yet 40 years old, my heart breaks for this little guy. He's been born into such an unstable situation, and to a mama with a very weak support system. Kids are a challenging blessing (!) when you have enough money and a good support system and there's neither for this little fellow. Unfortunately, there isn't much that our family can offer, due to the dangers inherent in Sherry's chosen life (my hubby is very afraid of endangering our daughter). We just found out from Sherry that her older sister, who she lives with, just had her baby (about a year old?) taken by CPS, so the home situation will be difficult for this precious little one. Since there's so little we are able to do, I would like to beg of you the one thing we can do: PRAY! Pray that Sherry will be a better parent than what she's seen and that she will love this little boy and protect him. If you happen to know anyone who has baby clothes, etc. they'd like to get rid of, email me! I do have her address and I think I can mail her care packages (not yet sure if she will get them in the neighborhood she's living in- awfully rough).
Welcome to the world, little Owen, my "almost" grandson. May God guard your life.
