I hope that when you say you are asking for help, that means you are asking for opinions on how to move forward? You might not like this, but it's honest, OK?

In my never humble opinion.....there are some things in life which are worth groveling for. A grandbaby is most definately ones of those! A grandbaby is for life...for keeps. It's a precious wonder.

Grovel even if you don't mean it. Grovel with your fingers crossed behind your back. Grovel until you get that precious baby back in your life.

You should not have looked at the camera. End of story. Don't look further than that. Look only at YOUR actions. Those are the only ones which you are responsible for. Those are the only ones which have anything to do with your apology. An apology which is laced with "but's" really is not an apology.

I'm a darn good groveler. I've had lots of practice. And I almost always mean it.

Hugs, emmy (and hug that baby for us )
