Sad




My son called last night...

He and his girlfriend have broken up.

They do have their issues.  Most of them are caused by immaturity and a lack of unity.  I have never been in the position of being in a relationship like they have had...not married yet having a child.

They both love her to pieces.  My son has been working hard to provide for them.

We wonder things like "Will we still get to see her" and "What will this look like?" 

We have grown to love Kayleigh.  She is a part of our family. 

In many ways it is like a divorce.  Why do people think that not being married will make everything easier?

Where will they both live?  Who will watch Kamryn while Kay goes to work? 

My heart is so heavy this morning...

I want my sweet girl to be here so I can hold her and love on her.  She is too young to know how her life is going to change.  She won't get to see Daddy everyday...

Kay and Nate we love you both and are praying for you more than ever.

  1. That's VERY sad. And so hard to completely understand another person's choices in life. The most certain thing about life is CHANGE. And there is always hope...Prayers that your relationship with baby and mom will continue on a positive note. **hugs**....

  3. It is very sad news, Deanna. Not being married in this situation doesn't make anything easier, does it?

    Perhaps, with some time to grow up, they'll come to know the Lord, resolve their issues, and be a family somewhere down the road.

    I'm certain there are laws allowing both Nate and your family time with Kamryn. My brother is in a similar situation (in PA, too) and he gets set days.

  4. I am praying for you! I don't know if you have thought this far ahead yet, but grandparents do have legal visitation rights. She will need your love and guidance in the future. Could you be the sitter while the mother is working? Prayers of wisdom going to the Father!
    Much love,
    Ruth

  10. I'm sorry to hear this-for everyone's sake. I have many thoughts on the issue...and much experience in raising children alone. My encouragement to Nate to be in Kamryn's life daily in some capacity. She is tiny, but needs her daddy's love every day. Praying that you will have wisdom as you love all three of them and discernement as you choose what to say and not say along the way.
