Dear Hope Association Community Case Manager, I successfully delivered L to her new home yesterday. B  met me there with D, and E , the new house manager, and B , the second support staff. We unloaded the van, unpacked a little and talked for a while about a variety of details that Emily had questions about. It was really peaceful. L sat next to me on the couch, with her legs on my lap, occasionally grabbing my neck and hugging me, but it was calming to me and I simply redirected her. We moved to the table with Playdoh and the 4 of us began playing. When L seemed relaxed and more focused on the playdoh instead of rechecking in with me every few seconds, I told her "Mama needs to go and get some things done. Can you say 'bye' to Mum?" She looked at me blankly so I repeated myself and she waved, still looking a little questioning, but I smiled, waved back and got up, left the table, and walked out the door as though I were simply dropping her off at day program. I held it together until I reached the van and opened my door. I climbed inside as the tears began flowing. I drove off, waved with a smile at the house, and called J  to let him know I'd been successful and then completely fell apart. I stopped the van once I was out of sight to calm a little and call B . I asked him if she was ok and he said she was transitioning from wondering what had just happened and tapping on/waiting for me at the window to being distracted by the girls asking her to play. That was sufficient comfort and I continued home, stopping again in Auburn to collect myself when emotions became too overwhelming to breathe so I could finish the drive home safely. I had an amazing experience with reminders that Heavenly Father is aware of my needs, loves me, loves L, and will watch over her. I posted a few pictures on my public Facebook account, along with a little narrative.  Last night at 7:30 we Facetimed and L was lounging on the couch with her singing puppy, looking calm. She lit up and waved when she saw me on the phone and pressed it repeatedly, causing the call to fail, but it was a blessing to see her that way... I know it will be a process transitioning, but this has been hopeful and positive, reminding me this is the next step for L to progress and reach her potential.  …Thanks for everything you have done to help this transition move forward and be smooth. B  was so grateful yesterday for your thoroughness and your support, as am I.
