Looking forward to GOOD NEWS tomorrow. My son's next date in court is 12/14, but he thinks that is financial. The actual trial which will cover custody is still set for 12/23. The good news with us is that he has been able to see Alyssa twice a week, and talk to her nightly. Her Mom was trying to keep her away, saying she was ill, but the mediator gave her a warning and she's been letting Alyssa come to visit with her Dad. I got a call from her this morning when my son was with her, and it was our first talk in 6 months. It was so good to talk to her, and have her tell me she misses her Grandpa and I, and is looking forward to meeting her new (7 month old) cousin soon. We sent pictures of the baby, and she was thrilled. She still cannot be with my son without Protective Services, but he has been told that will end soon. Unfortunately she and her Mom live about 3 hours away, so my son spends a lot of time in the car. I pray for a time we can have her down with us for a few days. But, there is progress.
