Feeling Re-Fueled- Today's Court Date

Today was my ex parte hearing.  My request was to cancel all visits pending our next court date which was just around the corner- March 7th to be exact.  I was requesting this due to the events from last weekend.  The Commissioner granted my request.  I am thrilled.  I didn't have to be in court today but I did have to wait all day for the Commissioner to review my paperwork and make a decision.  I found out at 3pm and I am breathing easier now.I submitted over 20 pages of declarations and evidence.  It was very strong evidence and I felt hopeful.  After the paperwork was submitted, I prayed.  My friends prayed.  Some of them lit candles, some send positive thoughts & pixie dust and others showered me with text messages and phone calls.  I felt surrounded by positivity and love today.I am celebrating the fact that we have a week of peace.  A week of stability.  A week where I don't have to worry about whether or not my daughters are safe.  I am thankful to the Commissioner who took the time to read my paperwork and then acted in the best interest of the girls.  It is little victories like this that re-fuel me and fill my cup back up.  These little victories restore my faith in the system.  I feel hopeful again.Someone recently said that they admire my drive and think that I am inspirational.  I don't feel inspirational.  I am a mom and I am doing my job: I am protecting my daughters.  I can't imagine not protecting my daughters.  The mere thought of not fighting is something I can't conceptualize.  I will keep fighting with honesty, integrity and my daughters' best interest at the front of my battle ship.  My children and all children deserve to feel safe, happy and secure.
