The party was today. It was a wonderful time. Lots of extended family including aunts and uncles and cousins I had not seen for years. My es came and visited people in the parking lot. Even though he did not wish to see me I am glad that he wanted to share time with his grandmother and the rest of the family. Thanks for the prayers and support.

So sorry, Rose, that your son did not communicate with you. After so many years of estrangement, being on various websites and reading whatever books I could get my hands on about estrangement, I still cannot imagine how our estranged adult children can be like this. I can envision the same scenario as yours being played out in June during my grandson's graduation party and my es and his family being there.
I keep asking myself what did I do that was so bad that my es could not forgive me? Even if the problem is with our kids, most of us have made attempts to reconcile and, in many instances, apologized if we offended them and asked for forgiveness and still, they remain hardhearted. Again, how could this be? The only answer I ever come up with is that the enemy has such a stronghold on them and they are blinded from Jesus' ways.
My heart breaks for you Rose but so glad you saw family and had a wonderful time in spite of your es. I am certain people saw your good spirit and also were aware of your son's wrongful behavior. As hurt as you must feel right now, it is amazing you could share that you were glad your son wanted to spend time with his grandmother. You are absolutely seeing things through Jesus' eyes and He does see us through these difficult situtations, doesn't He?
Now that the stress of anticipation and not knowing what to expect is over, I pray for you to have a peaceful night and know in your heart that you had the Holy Spirit in you and you were a reflection of HIM at your mom's celebration. In His Love.....
PS Luke and I posted songs recently and, when you can listen to them, they may provide comfort to your soul.

Rose, I am sorry your ES did not communicate with you. As Jeep has said you showed the love of God. Your ES may think about it and memories may work in him. I am glad your Mom had a wonderful party. God bless you.

Oh Rose,
Your positivity and happiness about the party is truly inspiring, especially considering that you weren't able to speak with your son. God will surely bless you for your ability to count it all joy!!! You go, girl! ;-)

Rose ... I am sorry for the pain ... it is so hurtful. But, shame on your ES ... he's doing the wrong thing. All you can do is put it in God's hands and let Him deal with your son. It's the Big Daddy's turn now .... and rest ... He's got this.
