It doesn't feel like liberation---it feels like part of my heart has been ripped out. I know they are still there and that we will see them occasionally but it ain't the same. We took these kids back to their parents yesterday (Saturday). They have been bouncing off the walls since the judge made the decision on Wednesday that they could go home and they couldn't wait to get there.
I took Inklings out to dinner last night at a restaurant---I think it was the second meal we have had out together since May. It was nice and was pretty relaxed but our lives have been forever changed. Their parents stole our grandparent role from us to these kids by their actions that got them tangled up in the courts. I may be able to forgive them for that sometime but it AIN'T T'Day.

lol kind of reminds me of that saying, "Can't live with em, can't live without em". :) I'm glad that you had this opportunity to get to know them better.
My heart goes out to you and Inklings both. I know you are worrying about them.
I'm with Delirious...

Don't wanna live with 'em
