Well, we did it. We bought the kid a plane ticket to come home to visit! She will be here over Valentine’s Day weekend. I’m sure we will all be feeling the love!
This is not just her first home visit but the completion of an enormous amount of work on her part. Her therapist (and her parents) decided that she needed a little more motivation to move along in the program so we made the home visit dependant on achieving the next two phases. She was pretty close to one of them, which she got last week, but will only have three weeks to get the next one. This involves some rather large and fairly emotionally taxing projects. She was frustrated at first but when she realized we were really not going to back down she got busy. She has become confident enough in herself to tell us to buy the ticket, even with the condition that she would have to pay us back any change fees if she doesn’t make it.
Come home and get warm, Sweetie!
For those who are wondering what I mean by “phases” please visit the Solstice website page that explains it all in more detail. Sierra will be in “Transformation” when she comes for her visit. Please read about this phase of the program. You will be amazed at the progress she has made. I am so proud of her.
