I have only checked the Gujuarat Courts Website every 30 minutes for the past three days looking for an update. After picking Levi up from school on Tuesday, and coming back home (which I normally do not do, because I wait to pick up Seth) I had to meet someone at the house, and I checked online and there it was…
The word Disposed. Our case had been disposed. That is what they put on their reports when the cases are closed.
Immediately I let out some sort of shrill, then I clapped violently while jumping up and down. Then I realized I needed to call Scott. I could not find my cell phone (surprise). So I frantically run/skip through the house and squeal at the same time and finally find my phone. I turn around, and Levi is just looking at me like I have lost my mind.
He says with a very concerned look on his face… “Mommy, what are you doing?”
To which, I reply… “It is finished, the court case is finished! Lyla Ruth is going to come home soon!”
Then I broke down and started crying. Then I finally called Scott.
After getting off the phone with Scott, I went through a roller coaster of emotions again. Screaming with joy, laughing hysterically, then crying tears of joy, and then repeat that a few more times. I am sure to the average person I would have looked very strange this afternoon. But as one friend texted me, after I told her I was a hot mess of emotions… she said, “well you deserve it!”
And I agreed, so I continued on in my emotional roller coaster for at least two hours.
Scott called me back and he said, “I feel like you just gave birth.” And he went on to explain that he had the same feeling like he did when all of our other kids were born. It was a very sweet time of rejoicing for him as well.
Now we just start to make a plan of action to go and bring her home!!!
