Amber wrote a letter to Daisy where she apologized for her actions and admitted she was wrong.
“Do I have to forgive her right now?” Daisy asked after she read the letter.
I told her that she did not have to forgive anyone until she was ready to do so.
The first visit with Patrick was supervised and Daisy was nervous about what to wear.
“Your body belongs to you and you do not have to hug him if you do not want to,” I reassured her.
The visit went well and Patrick told her that he was sorry for making her feel like a ghost.
By the time the final court hearing arrived in April, Daisy was doing much better.
She stood in front of the judge and read a statement about how much she loved her new home.
“I want to stay with my grandpa because people here remember that I am in the room,” she said.
The judge granted me permanent guardianship and Patrick accepted the decision without a fight.
