I am a pretty articulate person. Would you agree? I usually have no trouble putting into words what I am feeling, or thinking. Once in a great while, I will run across something said by someone else that is EXACTLY what I would say......if I had the courage. Today was one of those times. If you would like to read it, click here. (careful, as there is a bit of language, but it would take no courage not to use it as there are no other words to suffice) I would only change the first couple of words to "Dear Charlotte,"

Bren, I cannot say I understand what you're going through and dealing with because I don't. However, I can say that I am and will be praying for you! I can only imagine that you're dealing with something a little like I am with an elderly person who is succumbing to alzheimers. The vicious things that are said and done are beyond hurtful - made more hurtful because we love these family members, yet the feelings are not returned. Some days it's unbelievably hard. Yours more so because it's your daughter.
I'm praying, my dear sweet friend, that there will be some relief and that the stress will lessen and peace reigns.
God bless you!
Love, Julie
You know I'm still praying, hang in there.
Thanks guys!! I am outta here for the day, so my sanity can be restored just a tad!
I'm sending you gentle hugs my dear friend.

Bren, my friend, you know I am still praying for you. I hope your day out refreshes you. Winona
{{{{hugs}}}} from me to you, my dear friend.
It was right out of my own head, too, and I'm putting it in my file (minus the word in case a kid finds it, but I can't honestly say I haven't thought the very same phrase). Thanks for the link, and the reminder that we aren't crazy.
I hear you on the gathering food thing, too. As we dismantle the house to prepare to move, I am finding things in UNBELIEVABLE places, even for those of us who are very seasoned in that kind of thing. And it is harder as they get older because we thought they would get some sense by now.
Crack me up- the authentication word on here is ratso. That's just about how I feel!
Love you, friend.
I hope things will settle and get better soon.
I know this is a bit of an older post, but would you believe that I walked into my bathroom today, shut the door, and said almost those words to the ceiling?
Wait, I'm sure you would believe it! :)
Things have been going so well around here lately. Then the last few weeks, BOOM! Is it the change of season/weather/barometric pressure/full moon??
I'm thinking of retreating to a corner to suck my thumb for awhile.
Love ya, lady!
