FINALLY, Tiffany has completed those damn parenting classes. The ones where she was calling me every night after class and giving me parenting advice. Argh!!! Oh my God give me strength….(to not choke the crap out of her)!
There was a graduation ceremony at the prison. I took Keelen and Ethan and his parents came. It was awesome.
I think the thing that amazed me the most…(well there were two things) was that Tiffany was so pleasant to be around. All that nasty drug induced hatefulness was gone. She was a delight, funny and conversational. The daughter I know and love. The other thing was Ethan. He will be two in August. My how time flies. Although he doesn’t know Tiffany as his Mother, he let her hold him and do all the kid games and activities. He was independent and self confident. His adopted Mom and Dad are doing such a great job with him. I know we did the right thing placing him for adoption with them.
Tiffany made both of the boys gifts and they painted and did some kind of cookie dance. Tiffany was just enthralled and I was having a great time talking to grown ups.
Although I hated the parenting classes…I am proud that she singed up for this twelve week, three hours a night, three nights a week, after working all day, class. She not only completed it, but she excelled in it. She participated and grew as a woman, a mother, a daughter.
I am so proud of the strides she has made. Not just what she is doing, but how she is thinking. Her whole thought process has changed.
I know my daughter is in prison, but I am a very proud mom!! How many mom’s can say that!
The photo above is Tiffany at about 16 months old. Does Keelen look just like her or what!

She is too darling for words…and Keelan – yes, a spitting image. They are both so blessed to have such an amazing woman in their lives…You freakin’ rock…
