Darzie,

It was my mom's one year anniversary since her death last Saturday. I wore her wedding ring all day and every time I looked down I would see it and think of how wonderful she was.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have lost both my parents and it is so hard.

Big hugs to y ou.

Amy

I asked the new tenant today; he said was that the landlord told him they would talk to us about taking care of the vine, and that now it is no longer growing on their side of the fence. The tenant said that he told the landlord he didn't want to move in w/the vine growing all over b/c it was covered in bees. I wish I had known that it was a major problem on their side, it didn't seem that bad on my side but maybe that's b/c I was keeping it more maintained. At any rate, he claimed to be under the impression that it had been worked out between the landlord and us. I'm not the best with confrontation, and if he honestly wasn't involved (other than wanting it gone before moving in) I don't blame him.

7 yr old Kate- brain cancer- mom asking for prayers

I will definitely pray for her. I will now ask our Lady, the most Blessed Virgin Mary, to intervene to God on young Katie's behalf. I will also ask Pope John Paul II who should be a saint in the near future. Through his intervention, God has cured at least one person for sure (a nun who suffered from Parkinsons like John Paul II did, was cured from one day to the next in 2005, a few months after he had died). The Church continues to investigate many other possible miracles accredited to his intercession. So I shall pray for her cure but God forbid, if she is taken, she will be with God in heaven.

That is hard news to hear and I know you're sad and feeling stuck. Stuck is never easy. But, here's another way to look at it... Think if you HAD to sell right now, how much pressure there would be to get things ready. It is so much work. I did my work a year ago for the big house and am still not over it. Now, I have to go clean out the small summer place and just cannot get moving. I don't want to touch one more box or touch up one more baseboard. Bleargh! Another thought is that even of you did list the house now, it might take a year to sell in this market. I had a house on the market for nine months when DD was 4. That was unusual back then...it was an unusual house. Those kinds of numbers are more common today, but it doesn't make it any easier. I would start to say my prayers that someone will knock on your door again. It is not out of the question...you have a special house. Put it out there to the universe. Miracles can happen. :) Hang in there.

Custody and access are two seperate things. BD has always had joint custody. It's called joint conservators. He has not always had access. He had supervised access. Joint conservatorship basically means we both have exclusive rights and duties to the child. I have two exclusive rights he does not have. The right to designate residence and the right to make educational decisions. We both have the right to seek medical treatment, provide shelter, food and clothing; the right to inform the other conservator of any info concerning health, welfare and education. We both have the right to religious guidance. He has a duty I do not have and that is to provide child support payments in X amount per month. As far as access it's about 60/40 now. It's called expanded standard possession. He has set weekends and days of the week, we split spring break, christmas and thanksgiving. He has superior rights to designate his access during the summer. My access is all other times not outlined as his possession time. Sole custody is extremely hard to get. Even with all of the mess we have been through, bd has always been a joint conservator he just had limited Access for a while. If I had sole custody I would not have to tell him anything about health, school etc. He would not be able to confer with the school. Even with limited access he still had a right to speak to teachers or to get medical records. With expanded standard possession during the school year, on a month with 30 days, Bd has 12 days, I have 18 days. During the summer he averages about 40 total days and I average about 46 give or take a few during a summer break of about 88 days. That almost 50:50 during the summer. Does that make sense?

Darzie.....I lost my mother 6 1/2 years ago, and just lost my dad this past November. It gets better. You'll always miss her, but the thoughts will hopefully change to pleasant memories. It takes time. I hope that doesn't sound contrite, but I do believe that time heals all wounds. My thoughts are with you.

The wedding ring idea is such a good one. I lost my mom almost 5 months ago and I have her rings inside my jewelry box tucked in a little velvet pouch that the funeral home put them in. Where does the time go ? Somedays its like I seen her yesterday and others it feels like 100 years. I know you must feel the same. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I WRITE WHEN I MISS MY MOMMY..... I cry in the dark, so no one can see, I cry for my Mommy, as if I were three. I do not want to bother anyone with my pain, I only wish I could hold my Mommy again. I do not know at times, If I can go on. Im all alone, now that she's gone, Im trying so very hard to hold on. I forgot, as I was wrapped up in my own problems in life. That if Mommy wasnt there, then nothing would be alright. Im a big girl now, and Mommy said she was so proud, I wonder what she would say, If she could see me now. I will let everyone believe, that Im just fine. But my Mommy always knew when I was lieing. The only thing I know to due, is go back to my dark room, where none can see, how badly this has taken hold of me. I have things to be thankful for, so many, I need to take time to thank the Lord for watching over me and my Family, I also want to let him know, that for the Love I have in my heart,that she owns, I will let my Mommy go. Take good care of her, for I promise to change my ways, so I can be there with her someday, to hold her hand, and kiss her cheek, and tell her over and over again, how much she means to me
