I’m nearly done with zodiacs but it’ll change to next one soon fgs.. what shall we do next? X

Yes!!!  I think we are good people.  And if there is one thing I've learned so far, it's that PEOPLE are what matter in this life.  We are all going through something - and somehow I think people do come into our lives for a reason - are angels to us when we need one - and sometimes we are angels for someone else - but we all need help one way or another, even if helping someone else is what WE need!  Does that even make sense?  It's too early for big girl words.  lol

Oh - being a single mom is so hard!   You are a wonderful mom and grandma.  I think showing the young ones how important family is means everything.   I wish I could have helped Jess more - the older daughter has had to give up a lot - needs to be home after school so that she can watch her little sister - Jess hasn't been able to afford a sitter.  I'm hoping that situation changes now that Jess has a "significant other".  They moved 3 hours away from me, but have been very good about meeting me halfway when I want the girls.  :-) 

You are very right Judith - I am very thankful because I honestly have so much.   I try not to take these things I love for granted because I know how easily it can all be gone.  I'm always especially thankful of a warm bed and roof over my head when the weather gets bad.

Thank you!! I do have a strong belief that things somehow happen the way they are supposed to - and I may not always understand the "why," I know there are life lessons I am learning - so I'm doing what I can.  And helping Kaylee (the older granddaughter) and my daughter(son) deal with the death of my son has made me deal differently - and maybe that's a good thing.  lol   But I am alive, healthy, have wonderful family and friends and am trying to show the girls the importance of family - because I'll tell you, my daughter-in-law's family is one of the most dysfunctional families I've ever seen!  lol   They need me, and I need them - so it all works out.  :-) 

thanks for spotting the lion

Hi - I'm sorry!  I always "assume" everyone knows everything.  lol  I had a son and a daughter.  My son passed away 6 years ago at 34 from a massive heart attack - total shock!  His daughter was 6 months old at the time.  Her sister wasn't my son's biological daughter, but he was with her and her mom since she was a baby - so she really was his - especially in their hearts.  She was 9 when he died and was with him - so very hard on her.  They were very close.  My daughter, who just turned 26, is transgender, so informed me that she is my "son" and just got married.  That has been a very hard transition for me - not in front of her, but privately.  She/(he) is a wonderful person, and if it was someone else's child, I would be totally accepting - but I am ashamed to admit that it's a little hard for me.  I am adjusting.......  and I love my child very much...........but some things.......  :-) 

Your games out

Oh no!!!  What a horrible thing to have to go through when you're already doing things that are horrible for your body.    I wonder if steroids would work for something like that - but that's horrible for you too!!   I will pray even harder and hope it goes away quickly!  I can't imagine what she's going through!

Okay
