Well.. This One Has a Happy Ending

For the last week or so we have been the landing pad for a 12 year old boy. There is a lot of 'he said she said' going on in the situation, and we have only just met him, so who knows the real truth of what happened, but whatever that might look like it was nice to have his energy in our home. He was almost always cheerful, usually helpful and became a fast friend to both Lynn and my grandson. We kept him with us until his mom could drive up from her home in Maryland and after spending some time with DCF and the court system, she was awarded custody and she and her mom worked with us to make a good transition back to them. This is how it looks when foster care is working and it clearly made an impact on Lynn for the better as she said to me as he drove away this morning, reunited with his mom and grandmother,  "well, this one has a happy ending."
