You'd never believe it!!!

I got a phone call tonight...from...ZECHARIAH!!! He got my information somehow off the Internet through Facebook and called my old house and left his number. I called him back and the voice on the other end was foreign to me...in a good way. He sounded so different...like a man. He said he had been in therapy for almost 2 1/2 years and had been wanting to get in contact with me. He has been through A LOT in these last few years. Admitting different abuse and a suicide attempt. He was very quick to defend my mother saying that she has changed a lot. I don't see it and didn't really know how to handle that except to say that I hoped she had. He is worried about her after my sister moves out. One awkward moment came when he said that my mother had been talking to him about moving to Africa to take care of children....I laughed out loud and said that she'd NEVER be allowed. He was actually serious and said that she could since it was a different country. YIKES!! I think it will take me a few days to think through his point of view and then to know how to talk to him about mutual things other than our mother! I would have never guessed in a million years that next week would be packed with visits to almost all of my siblings. That is right, I leave Atlanta on Saturday the 13th and stay in PA until the 20th. I'll keep you all up to date with what happens daily!! This is going to be an exciting week in my family...I can't believe all of this is happening!

I am sure you are all aware of all the snow falling in PA as we speak. I am beginning to become a little fearful. Just with driving conditions and delays in traveling...will you all pray? Pray that the snow that is in the forecast for the majority of next week will not come. Pray that there are no travel delays and especially that I remain safe as I drive on the roads!! My love to you all. I feel like I am going to be physically alone on this trip but that I will have dozens of invisible companions in you all...
