“But, thankfully, that’s to the case.”
Ms Phelan said she homes to be home in the summer to see her children and family and friends. “I got very upset as I was talking about how much I miss my kids and how I need to see them,” she said.
“ I had been struggling over the past weeks because I could not see an end in sight or countdown to a specific date in the future when I would see my kids again. At least now I know that I will be heading home sometime in July,”
