Go see the movie.
This could have been my life! But Mom fought to find us!
It wasn’t a thing then, but Mom was controlled by her husband.
She often said, ” Every time I made a friend we moved. Often money for milk was found in his pants doing laundry.”
She also said, “The truth always changed. What was TRUTH yesterday, was not TRUTH today”
Mom said,”It was good to have him leave, I might have ended up in the psych ward. I never wanted you kids taken.”
Arriving home to an empty house, She waited, “Justine will call, she knows the number!”
When I didn’t call she packed up the house and took a bus to Minnesota. She made an appointment with the governor. He listened as she cried demanding help.
“It is not illegal for a father to take his children.”
Regrouping, she found a job and hire detectives. They found us a year later.
The first plan was to kidnap us back, but it didn’t work.
This led to court and three days on the witness stand being grilled. This affected her so profoundly that she could never again lead any group.
Mom’s lawyer didn’t call Dad to the stand, instead he gave the judge the nine page explanation of why Dad left with us.
She was awarded custody with one condition.
We had to be out of the state that day!
Out of school to the airport with possessions in paper bags.
Our flight took us to her parents farm. It was our saving grace.
Her parents thought it was best to go back to her husband, being a divorced women with kids was not good. She couldn’t even buy a vehicle without her husband or father’s signature.
Forty years later she called, “Why couldn’t you understand what I went through?”
“When
“You were only seven years old, you couldn’t understand!”
The day Mom died, the Pastor called, “What was your most important memory?”
“She came and got us!”
She saved my life.
God is Very Good!
