Kayle went to live with her Dad this weekend. I have mixed feelings about this. We have struggled with her, so the idea of her personality being removed from the mix of our household is appealing. However, she is really struggling emotionally over being away from her mom and her dad is somewhat of a stranger to her. She has survived much trauma, but always with her sister by her side. To seperate her from Isabella is going to be very difficult for her. But her dad is trying, and though he has no idea what he is in for, he is her dad and he wants to care for her and I think he will do the best he knows how. I doubt she'll ever eat another vegetable, and I fear for the manipulation skills she has honed to be developed all the more. But she is not my child, and I have to let go of this.
I am not too concerned for Isabella. She is simple in many ways. Her ability to feel emotions is underdeveloped and her world really seems to be whatever is right in front of her. She adores Kate and although I expect she will miss her sister, I am sure Kate will feel like somewhat of a substitute for her. So, we press on in this journey, with a new chapter to the book God is authoring for our lives.
