SAY IT!!
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.

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