How strange things can change in one week.
That little guy is now part of our family. He is 14 months old.
It is awkward to say someones death brought my family joy, but it is true.
Almost a week ago, his biological mother took her own life.
How could you leave someone so precious behind?
Because that is how you were raised.
Kill yourself to avoid the unpleasantness of life.
It is a vicious cycle.
His mother was my 3rd or 4th cousin. I don't talk to her side of the family because my mothers biological side of the family has never been a part of my life.
My Papa adopted my mom at a very young age and he is my true Papa.
My biological grandfather was an evil man. He burned all of his identity, called his own daughter (my moms sister) and told her that he was going to kill himself and he wanted her to have to identify his body, then he shot himself in the head while he was on the phone with her.
That obviously messed her up for life because about 15 years later she decided life wasn't worth living and purposely set her house on fire and killed herself.
Now, 10 years later, her daughter decided life wasn't worth living. She texts her father and told her the baby was sleeping and she was going to be with her mom in heaven.
This was her last post:
After she sent that facebook post she hung herself from her front porch.
I feel bad that she was lost soul but, I do not feel bad that my sister will now raise her baby.
Her selfishness for her own child's life has now bled over into a joyous reunion for my family.
This child was neglected by his own mother. Left in a crib while he cried at night with two bottles so he could fend for himself.
Their sewer had backed up into their water system and the baby drank his milk mixed with that water and had his clothes washed with that water. ALL of his clothes reeked of mold and sewer. This baby had 3 toys. 3.... THAT IS IT.
You should have seen the look on his face when my sister let him meet everyone yesterday. He was so excited to see other kids to play and you could see he was in ultimate explorer move. He will probably not remember the day he came to our family, but it was as glorious as the day my sister birthed their own children.
You could see a baby be reborn into something instead of nothing. Now, if we can get passed all of the paperwork, we are home free. I hope.

I can not stop crying reading this!
I can not imagine someone doing that, knowing that they were leaving behind their CHILD. It makes me ill. But it sounds like he will have a much better life, this way.... and finally this terrible cycle can be stopped!
God bless your sister and the MUCH better life that she will give him!
I know your family is filled with boys but I have toys and clothes galore if you guys need anything!
Thats is so sweet of you, but we are plentiful of clothes, shoes and definetly toys!
Lucas is still really small and he can actually wear his clothes. He is a chunk! So we have everythng we need. Everything they tried to give us, my sister through away. It smelt like sewer and mold.
It is my hope that the cycle has been broken.
Thanks again, and say a prayer all the paperwork go through without a hitch.
