In February (right around my birthday) I went to gas Station where my gs works and we spoke briefly. Last night, I was on my way home from visiting with a friend when I remembered I needed a few things from food store. I couldn't decide which one to go to and at the last minute, I pulled into parking lot of store I usually don't go to but it was late and it was right there. As I drove closer to the store, I saw some teens hanging out and thought one car looked like my gs's. But I went and shopped for things I needed. On the way out boys were stil there and when I saw it was my gs I stopped and called out his name and he came over to my car. He started commenting on my New Jeep and asking questions about it. His friends came over and I talked with them briefly. They were talking about places they go dirt riding and one was near my house. I started to tell his one friend where my house was and before I could say anything, my gs chimed in and gave them some landmarks near my house (like he comes over and nothing was wrong). I then said I have to go and off I drove. I didn't tell my gs to stop over or anything. I am almost positive his dad (my es) has told him not to go to my house or else. Also, I want them to come to my house when they are ready. Not sure I handled it right but I loved seeing him again and I believe it was GOD Ordained.

O Jeep, I don't believe in coincidences either. This meeting and the others times too when you saw your gs were ordained by God. What a gift. It is wonderful that he came right over and talked so freely with you. It seems like he feels very comfortable and enjoys being with you. I would not be surprised if he does not question your es as to why he does not get have a relationship with his own mother. Young people are smart. It will not seem right to them. He will make his own decisions one day. Estrangement is so unfair to the innocent gc.
We continue to pray for true reconciliation with our EC and one day special relationships with gc.

Jeepgirl, you handled it beautifully. I'm sure your GS enjoyed showing you (and your jeep) off to his friends, even if he's confused about what his dad might be telling him to do. What a blessing from The Lord for you!

Estrangement IS awkward, no matter what. It forces us to exist in an abnormal reality, and all we can do is the best we can.
Jeep, I think you did GREAT! It's awkward and awful that you can't just be free to love on your grandson ... but how cool that you were able to get so 'up close' and converse with him ... look at his face, see him with his friends, etc.... What a gift ... It isn't exactly how you'd choose it to be ... but sounds like you made the absolute best of it....
You could never have orchestrated such a meet up on your own ... so God did it for you.... How absolutely cool is that!?!!
Kind of makes me laugh, our EC's 'THINK' they are so 'in control' ... but then God .... (and His possibilities are endless and better than we could even think of)....

I think he seems proud of you and he misses you. And I also believe it was a divine coincidence.
