RRR's Daughter is HOME!

[lizziegrace]

Lisa called about 10 minutes ago. Sarah is HOME. Asleep on the couch. No details at all at this point. Lisa is exhausted and giddy. I'm sure she'll post more when she's able.

BTW, there's also a thread going in GD.

:hi:

[bigwillq]

1. This is awesome news!

So happy Sarah is home. :bounce:

[tjdee]

2. FINALLY!! I bet they'll all sleep tonight!

They must all be exhausted. And now, thankfully, they can rest.

So happy for the RRR family.

Thank goodness, safe and sound.

YAY!

[Midlodemocrat]

3. YAY!!! Thanks, lizziegrace for posting this.

hugs to Sarah and Lisa. :bounce:

[plcdude]

4. great news

whew!

[supernova]

5. Oh yay!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I'm so glad for all involved! :D :D

This is wonderful news!

I didn't post much in those threads, but I was watching.

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Good.

Good.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. Yay! I hope she gets a really good night's sleep tonight.

[GardeningGal]

8. Sigh of relief here.

That is great news....thanks for letting us know.

[Ariana Celeste]

9. That's great!!!

:7

I'm so happy for RRR... time for her to get some rest. :).

[deucemagnet]

10. Thanks for the good news, lizzie.

I'm glad rrr's ordeal is over.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. I'm on the phone with her

She said the neatest thing. Two of her kids were startin' to fuss, and she started to tell them to knock it off. Then she thought, "No... this is great! I love this!"

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

17. It's what truly matters

:)

[WilliamPitt]

12. How grounded is RRR's daughter?

Scale of 1 - 10?

I'd say 2,972.

(unless I'm not fully apprised of the situation)

[blondeatlast]

15. More like 1,478--relief softens the punishment.

But not a whole lot.

[LSK]

19. 10 brazilian

Glad shes safe at home!

[jobycom]

23. I think the reactions will go way beyond grounding.

Both of them have been through fears and levels of relief I hope I never experience. I'm sure any talk of grounding is a bit simplistic in regards to what they need from each other right now. You ground your daughter for breaking curfew. This requires something a lot more complex and interactive.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. Grounded? I'm thinking chained in the basement with water and bread.

So glad she is home. So glad.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

38. Yeah.

This is one of those times where you take everything out of her room except for a bed, maybe a lamp and a clock. Then, as she learns not to run away and scare the HELL out of her family, then maybe she can slowly earn everything back. Oh, that and going to and from school, and then home to her room, only to leave to go to the bathroom and eat. And probably about a brazillion other things, but she's not my kid. And she'll be happy she's not.

44. Talk about grounded

This is the most classic grounding offense ever (at the end).

47. Get thee to a family therapist.

[OzarkDem]

80. Agree, it will be a big help n/t

[OzarkDem]

81. Great news, we were all worried

I was thinking about it when I went to bed last night, thinking of RRR and all the other parents in the same situation.

[Ghost in the Machine]

67. Right now really isn't the time for talking about grounding. Nor is

it time for RRR to act out of anger, which I doubt she will, but I don't know her. Right now is the time to be finding out what went so wrong somewhere. Something happened somewhere for the child to leave in the middle of the night to begin with. Maybe she just snuck out, planned to be back before anyone woke up, but somehow managed to either:
A.) fall asleep

B.) get high or drunk, or just lost track of time and was scared to come home; or

C.) got stranded by her ride home and couldn't get there before anyone woke up, figured she was in trouble big time anyways and didn't want to come home

Those are just a few wild guesses from a single father of a 13 & 14 year old. And as someone who used to sneak out when he was young, and has been in ALL of the above situations as a teen.

I read a post earlier where someone hoped RRR would tell everyone soon what happened. I disagree with that wholeheartedly. I don't think she owes us any further explanation, as this is a deep family matter. Granted, it was brought out in public here, but that was an appeal to help find a missing child.... not an appeal for everyone to get involved in their family issues once the case had been resolved. If RRR wants to tell anyone, that is strictly her call and her business.

:hi: Hi Will... I enjoy your writing a lot, dude.

PEACE!

[WilliamPitt]

72. Thanks, Ghost!

I wouldn't ever expect an explanation from RRR. It's her house. But I pulled something similar to this when I was about that age. When I finally came home, I got bounced off every wall in the house (by my mom) and got grounded for so long that when I finally emerged, I had started shaving on a regular basis and my clothes were out of style.

:)

[Midlodemocrat]

83. Somehow, this doesn't surprise me.

[blondeatlast]

13. HAPPYDANCING IN AZ! Thank whatever or whoever.

Now, Miss Sarah, DU has a few words for you--mostly, we're so glad you're safe.

HOORAY! :bounce:

[ThomCat]

14. Awesome!

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[GOPisEvil]

21. Excellent!

:bounce:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. Knew it!

;)

:hi:

[Dangerously Amused]

24. Oh thank GOD! A happy end to every parent's nightmare.

Happy tears!


:cry:

[skygazer]

25. Oh, thank goodness!

This has been on my mind ever since it all began. I'm so relieved for RRR and so happy to hear that Sarah is safe at home. Damn kids! They sure are an adventure!

[Mutley]

26. I'm so happy Lisa!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear lizziegrace!

Thank you for letting us know!

What a huge relief!

[johnnie]

28. Great news!

Glad to hear this.

[Nicole]

30. Wonderful news!

Thanks for letting us know. :toast:

[Book Lover]

31. We have the most important detail of all - she's HOME

Thank goodness. As a mom myself, I *can* imagine how RRR felt, even if just a little. I am so glad to know this news.

[TrogL]

32. Why on the couch?

[Midlodemocrat]

42. Well, speaking for my teens

they crash on the couch (es) quite regularly. I remember doing it, too.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. Thanks so much for posting this, Lizziegrace...

I hope this event spawns new communication among the whole family...
Sending love vibes to all...
:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[MsKandice01]

34. This is the best news I've heard in months...

YAY!!!

[CC]

35. Great news.

RRR needs her time with Sarah, just knowing she is home is enough for me. If and when RRR wants to share I'm sure a lot of people will be willing to listen. But the best news is Sarah is home and they can now work toward the future.

[Crabby Appleton]

36. Great news

so glad she's safe and home.

[peacefreak]

37. Welcome home, Sarah.

You had many people concerned about you. I hope after some rest & reflection, you guys can work this thing out. An "auntie" from Maine.

[flvegan]

39. Ah, giving thanks for the many vibes, prayers, wishes

and anything else that might've helped.

Awesome news that made my evening. Thank you!

[jobycom]

43. Giving thanks to you specifically, flvegan, and several others

LizzieGrace, auntAgonist, and others who got more involved than just typing words of encouragement to RRR. All those of us with children can't possibly thank you enough, and I wouldn't even begin to try to thank for RRR. Geeze, just... Some people are beautiful! And it's good to know people like you really exist.
:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

40. Oh, that's WONDERFUL!

:bounce: :woohoo: I'm SO happy to hear it! :grouphug:

[SeattleGirl]

41. Thank heaven! I am so glad Sarah is finally home, home, home!

And I wish the best for her and Lisa as they deal with this, and the aftermath. Hugs to them both.

What a relief. I've been checking in all day to see if she'd made it home yet.

Sure hope Sarah appreciates to some degree how much her mom loves her, how much she anguished over her escapade, and all the effort she went to to find her and bring her back home safely.

:grouphug: RRR and Sarah!

[mzteris]

59. Words can't express

how relieved I am that she is home.

Which is nothing, I know, compared to RRR!!!

I feel weak and giddy and she's not even my kid!


Hey RRR - give her one of these - :hug: from me!

[latebloomer]

60. I've been waiting for these words!

And I am SO happy to see them!

All the best to the whole family, RRR!!

[Bassic]

61. Oh thank God!

So, is she grounded for life?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

62. That is absolutely wonderful news and I am so relieved and happy

that Sarah has returned safe and well. This is such good news and my heart rejoices for Lisa that the trauma of having her daughter not at home is finally over.

Lisa,
My thoughts, prayers, best wishes and positive vibes are extended to you all as you come to terms with the events of the last few days and as you face the future together as a family :hug:
