I've seen Andy several times since he's been in Pima County Jail. But he finished the hearings and the disposition of his AZ case a couple of weeks ago. I'm surprised he is still here, but we do get to see him easily enough so I'll accept it. And when he goes back to Eloy, who knows if he'll get to stay and for how long. He does seem to be a different young man than he was two years ago. He's clean, he's accepting responsibility, he's making plans for his life. These are all good things. I do get dark feelings occasionally, sadness for the choices he made and wondering why or what could have made the difference. But I push those aside and remember the tender mercies he and I have been blessed with. These compensatory graces show me that he is in God's care, and we are loved by merciful Father in heaven.
so happy for you and the blessings you and Andy have experienced!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you've gotten to see him and hope he'll stay here for a while. He's a good kid and loved by so many. I love that he's making plans, it gives him something to look towards and work towards. He's in lots of our prayers. Tell him hello for us. Does he take other visitors too?
