You write from your heart and I am deeply touched by what you say, owning both the positive and negative.<br /><br />I am glad you have the chance to feel that loving for and from her and to experience her as darling. It will be something you will always keep alive in your heart. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. BTW, I love PA's. I know part of it is how it is organized but they are also so much more accessible to me than doctors and they seem to spend so much more time. This coming from husband, father, grandfather and father-in-law doctors! Hope they never read this! I am also in "rehab" for fibro, RSD and chronic fatigue and slowly but surely getting better. You might have seen my in "Chairiette" (my wheelchair) at Silver Bella:-)<br /><br />Thanks so much!<br />SuzKateyedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368144927684071127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-25587760326648344232010-03-16T11:16:11.943-05:002010-03-16T11:16:11.943-05:00I admire you a lot for being able to express your ...I admire you a lot for being able to express your feelings good and bad the way you have. I had a similar situation with my mother and I still find it impossible to record all these<br />rollercoaster feelings.Sadly I lost my mother 12 months ago but I am thankful for the time we got to spend together towards the end of her life.I will take away the fact that it is okay to express the more difficult times in our lives. I wish you and your family well.<br />Karenkarenshopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583467359869222678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-56830459840657342812010-03-16T08:17:57.333-05:002010-03-16T08:17:57.333-05:00Thinking of you!

And more often than not, none of the recognition for doing so.<br />I'm glad you're at a peaceful place. I know that this moment in time will be changing for you, but you can never see it until you're through it.<br /><br />Photos of Scottsdale are so peaceful and lovely. I love Scottsdale myself.

Would it sound sick for me to say that I enjoy reading about your trials? Not because I'm glad you're facing them, but because it's life and I feel like I learn a lot from it. I love the way you laid out your troubles with beautiful scenery, it made for an interesting read.

One day it just starts changing and we try to be our best in the middle of the change and pain.

Penny is good at knowing how you feel here and will be a huge help. <br /><br />All of your bitching to my mother has paid off big time as she is cleaning out and throwing away more than the Salvation Army could ever dream of. She even found some of my baby clothes and my Barbies! So all is not nigh and that alone has helped me HUGE!! Thank you for your persistent nagging of her!! And a big thank you from Todd too! I was thinking about having mom deliver all of it to Pam's house just for giggles! Know that you are loved by people who matter in this world and that you are a driving force for the rest of us! Keep plodding along and I want to know those prison plans.

I think in this situation I would be the same way. What an example you are to all of us on accepting what we did not plan to do. I love you for your honesty.
