Kids can be thoughtless, and things like that are especially hard at Christmas. Nothing we can do will make things 'better', but know that there are so many that care about you. Sometimes all you can do is hold someone's hand and hurt with them. *holds out a hand*...bless your heart Spidey...you needn't have done this....I just reached out in pain, not wishing to add to your load...thank you for your loving kindness and you as well Neesy...without going into detail, because I hurt to bad-my son will not be joining us for Christmas, to the best of my knowledge...he has chosen to spend his break from the Army with his girlfriend and her family...none of us have seen him since September, or heard from him in a couple of months-all over tales she has whispered into his ear to pit him against us...you know I'm certainly not one to put sorrow on display-I'm all about the goofiness, but the last few days have been hard with the loss of a dear friend and now an estrangement not of our making from my eldest son...we humbly ask for your love and kindness in this most hurtful of times...I'm sorry to seem so burdensome...
Each day shall get a little easier for Tracy to get through. Its very hard....I am at that the "gotta laugh at it" point now, but Tracy isn't-so I'm watching my step....and "important to the Board"?...bless you, my importance is but a mere reflection of everyones love....
Family problems are the hardest, because they break our hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family....and now the second son has become disenchanted with us and left!...he stuck his nose into his brother's situation without asking us, and when we confronted him about it-he got pissed and walked out....give me strength!!!!!!....I just wish these boys would learn what the words "personal responsibility" and "respect" truly meant...apparently my name is Job these days, but I'm the least patient person that's ever staggered across this big ball of mud...just keep the good thoughts coming-because quite frankly, it's the only thing that's keeping me afloat and a rock for Tracy...
