Today I took Allie out for lunch. I have been trying to get together with her since Thanksgiving. She has been through so much in the past couple years. She has made a lot of bad choices and has a mother that makes even worse choices. Being in the environment that she was, made it hard to have much contact with her. In December she moved in with her Aunt and Uncle who live in Earlham. We are all thankful that she is in a safer place. She does not have a car anymore, has a job with 30 hours a week at a grocery store. It is a start. She didn't pass her last semester again at college and hopes to go back someday. I took Allie to a Chinese restaurant near her town. She looked pretty good, got rid of all her piercings and seemed happy. We talked about everything and I asked a lot of questions. I gave her late Christmas presents and early birthday presents to her. She seems to be on a good path and I will continue praying that she stays on the right path. It was good to see her and I hope in time Mark and her can patch things up.
