Good morning Tet-mates. Hope all is well with you. I'm asking you all to keep my Ogre in your thoughts and prayers. As I struggle with my anxiety (or is this depression, who knows?), he is really struggling with what I think is depression. Though, he is all manly-man - wanting to feel his pain and not be medicated. I applaud that in a way. His job is great and they love him there, and he's very busy so that helps. But his office is basically a cave in the basement with very little contact with others, and that doesn't help. He's not really a social butterfly, but he does like someone to eat lunch with and talk baseball/basketball/football with. Anyhow, my heart breaks for him and it distracts me from my sadness (that's got to be a good thing, huh?). But we're still struggling so with the loss of his father. He was such a big part of our lives - truly he was a family man in every since of the word. We talked to him all that time, and celebrating birthdays, holidays, new jobs, new babies, etc just doesn't seem right without him. I worry that the kids will only remember us as a couple of very sad people. Grief is such a long process.

Bless you all in everything you struggle with - it's hard to talk about and I know many of us carry things in our hearts we just can't put out there. I think I'd be even crazier though, if I couldn't put this out there.

It's beautiful and sunny here today. Flowers are blooming all over and suddenly all the trees seem full of leaves when just last week they were still bare. The birds and squirrels are driving Ruby to distraction, but I love seeing them in the year. Turtles even, already. Life goes on and we've got to learn to praise it. Giving in to the gloom is not what my beloved father in law would have wanted us to do.

Grief IS a long process and kudos to you for realizing so. That helps as do all the memories you can look back on, which you have also touched on. Sounds like your big guy is well liked in his new job which is huge for getting comfortable there. He'll find his way and get used to the new surroundings. I'm sure there is another sports fan to talk to at his work....;)

Oh turtles....what kind are you seeing? We won't see any around here for weeks yet.....:(

I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law Holly, he sounds like he was a good man. Hell, as long as your husband's not a Dallas Cowboys fan, tell him to get on the SKMB, I'll be happy to talk football with him until we're both sick of it!:)Now, if he's a Dallas Cowboys fan, well, sadly, I won't be able to talk to him...lol, just kidding...I'm not a social butterfly by any means, more of a social troll but the people I work with....for three more days anyway, have always been a rock as far as camaraderie, and that is important at work as well as personally. Sometimes you can be TOO busy at a job where it becomes all encompassing. You're life becomes work, and that's what happened to me, almost at the cost of my family. When you're a ghost to your wife and child, and they become ghosts to you, there's a problem. It takes a good woman, in this case my wife, to really grab you by the ears and tell you out loud what you already know in your mind, that a change needs to be made. So, enjoy the weather, go to a football game this fall....just don't root for the Cowboys:) Have a good week ma'am, both of you.

From the good ol Midwest
Good morning, and Happy Friday! RJ got his 1st haircut yesterday. :)

He looks so grown up now! It was not an experience he enjoyed very much, Alyssa said. ;-D

Scott went and had lunch at school with Ty and Ali yesterday. It was a surprise, and it totally made their day.

I was going to go too, but then got word RJ would be coming the same time they eat lunch, so stayed home.

I am so glad it is Friday. What a week it has been. Hope you all have a great weekend! Sending big hugs and positive vibes to all! :love_heart:
Tina, My what a beautiful family you have! R.J has grown so fast! Thank you for the smile!

Holly hoping for comfort for you and your Orge. Ghost has a fine idea about socializing on here or somewhere else, although I can not think of a finer place than here.
I can go for days without actually speaking to anyone, but that never really bothers me when I have you fine folks to talk with.

Perhaps you can ask him if he would be interested in Ghost's idea?
