I cannot imagine! I agree, being abandoned by your own children is incredibly heart breaking. Words cannot ever begin to describe it.

Today was a masterpiece. We all are a work in progress as far as judging and forgiving. I have had to come to peace with this several times in my life and I am now finding out an easier way to manage it all. I gave a talk in church recently on forgiveness and perhaps sometime, I will post some thoughts from it. <br />I too loved reading and enjoying the story of :Little Women" It is the best and one of my all time favorites. <br />I'm so happy that you had a beautiful moment with your Doug. I am happy he is doing well. That can be such a scare for a young man his age. Remember, my husband had a heart attack at 45 years old. <br />I love your sweet dog's face; I can tell he is an endearing pet.<br />Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!

You are very concerned for others, Marie...so many are not. A couple years ago, it came to light that I was the victim of a sociopath...my they are so clever!! We were moving in order to help our daughter soon after (my was that a welcome move!!) and I was so thankful GOD provided that way of escape (so we never had to tell anyone else of what this person had done to us). But it has made me very much into more of a hermit...even if my life was at a point I had time to attend or join another group, I am simply not ready. You see, this took place in our place of worship...something that makes it ever harder to get over. Maybe we are not meant to get over extreme betrayals. Why should we put ourselves in a place to have it done to us again? I am not sure I would live through another such event. It affected me physically too. I do understand too, how it is when those who neglect us are our kids...another situation entirely. Terribly hard to know what to do...well, sending hugs and empathy. So glad your Doug is doing better!!<br />Elizabeth xoxoElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529409389057290042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-68343862073049853422019-06-29T15:12:24.737+01:002019-06-29T15:12:24.737+01:00I remember either loving a car wash..and hating it...I remember either loving a car wash..and hating it..something claustrophobic about them;) I hand wash.<br />That's why I love my tiny car;)<br />You re a better person than I am..once bitten twice shy ..thrice buh bye.<br />Believe me..people know what they are doing..in 90% of the cases.<br />I got fed up with the stupid drama..and selfishness..Doesn't sound like me right?

I'm 69 years old and still uneasy when Tom pulls into the car. So glad your Doug is doing well! Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.com
