8 years ago, my husband and I got divorced. I moved out of state and let my children decide where they wanted to stay. They wanted to stay where they were, with their dad.

I backed them up all the way, and didn't let it show how devistated I was, and I did understand about not leaving friends, school and grandparents. What was best for them was my main concern.

2 years later my ex husband had what I can only explain as a nervous breakdown. He called me one day and told me he was giving the children up and going on the road full time. I arranged to have them picked up and they flew here to be with me.

4 years passed with no word from him. How can you deal with a father abandoning your children? It tore me apart because I knew what kind of damage it may do to them. We didn't expect to see him ever again

Until....... today

He showed up on our doorstep, crying and apologizing. He was miserable over what he'd done and came to make it right. It was me he was angry with.. and couldn't get over it for the last 8 years.. that's a long time to stay angry.

I've prayed for this day for 4 years, my children needed to know their father loved them.

I am so happy, and so thankful I had to share this with you all.. I love my kids so much.. they're everything to me.
