Some good news

Posted by joinnj - 10/29/08, 02:23 am

Since everything with my life has been so awful and I feel guilty dumping it on everyone here, I thought I must share some news.

My son called today and asked to take me out to lunch tomorrow. I am still in shock and before I start jumping up and down and break a tail bone, I will wait till tomorrow comes to be happy about it. I've been down the road of disappointment before.

Will update tomorrow. Have several medical appointments, such an inconvenience.

Love to all Jo

Posted by JudyD3 - 10/18/08, 02:59 pm

I know many of you have missed Jo, the founder of this most wonderful group lately. I have e-mailed her and she has responded and she asks that I share with all of you. Please remember to keep her in your prayers. Her e-mail follows:

hI jUDY THANKS FOR CARING, FEW THINGS HAVE ME CRIPPLED EMOTIONALLY AND i DONT WANT TO INFLICT THAT ON THE GROUP. i DO OFFER A PETETION TO sT. rITA CONSTANTLY FOR PEACE. ooops caps was on.

My husband's business is belly up due to the economy and with 19 mths to pay off my mortgage I am trying to keep my home from sheriff sale. on top of that my daughter has another warrant again. She lost all rights to her sons and I am devastated. I am not allowed to see them because I am in contact with her.

Last week on my way to the surgical center we gave her a ride and it was a ride from hell that woman screamed everything ugly and evil to me in my own car and as I walked into the surgical center she never said a word to me while I sobbed my eyes out.
I am not able to forgive her right now and I am paining.

However my son walked into the house Wednesday and gave me a hug , he called her a few choice words and expressed disgust at her. He later brought his 7 yr old son , a cake and spent his birthday here. The sad thing is Judy is that he told me that he is having a party at the country club today for his friends and did not have room for me. I cried inside and will cry till the day I die that he said that to me. He then had his son tell my other 2 mixed race grandchildren how many other kids are going to the country club and that an artist was making portraits of them but these 2 are not invited. My 7 yr old granddaughter dried when she realized that her uncle had not invited her and her brother to their cousins party and I lied that we had made other plans and she could not go.

So much hurt and I'm asking God why and when does it stop. Her I was happy to see them and then the news I and 2 other grands were n ot invited is crushing. You can share any of this you think the group can handle.

I am also out there trying to find a job and my health is not good. I go back on the 22nd to the surgical center.
I think often of you and miss and love you.
Please welcome all for me and thank everyone too.

all my love

Jo

My Daughter

Posted by joinnj - 08/23/08, 02:23 pm

Well after posting that I wrote my daughter about five emails detailing every selfish, blaming etc. etc behavior I was sure she would certainly be done with me for good.

I got a phone call from her that she went to court and is doing evrything to get her sons back. So my husband and I drove her to the police station where she was told that her ex will be charged with a thord degree felony for not allowing her to see her son for almost 4 months, violating the court order.

Next am I noticed she called at 2 a.m. right after we dropped her off, and I'm thinking she's calling to blame me for her giving her son away. The message said Mom I want to thank you and Steve for being there for me tonight, it meant so much to me and I love you. Then to top it all off, she asked if I could stop by at her house as she has something for me.

My granddaughter and I stopped by and she had bought me a hand made angel made from shells from the Phillipines. Wait ladies this is where I started to lose oxygen....she said Mom can you and I go out tomorrow for a drink and just spend some time together, I miss my mom. I should have written that letter years ago.

Yesterday she frantically called my hubby and every phone to get me and took me out. We actually had such a great time, her girlfriend came along and so did my friend Maria. She said Mom let's do this always.

HOPE AND PRAYERS. I WENT TO ST. RITA'S SHRINE ON WEDNESDAY AND PRAYED FOR US ALL. ST. RITA IS THE SAINT OF RECONCILIATION. I AM IN BOSTON WITH ONE GRAND AND HUBBY BUT WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE BROKEN HEARTS HERE.

THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THIS REUNION WITH MY DAUGHTER IS AN ABSOLUTE MIRACLE. OUR SITUATION WAS THE WORST IMAGINABLE. SOME SO AWFUL I DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO WRITE ABOUT IT. IF IT HAPPENED FOR ME AND HER THERE IS HOPE.

Thank you all for letting me share this positive news. I am estatic but it's bittersweet as i pain for all who still hurt. Now I still need to deal with the rejection from my son and I am clueless except as I said earlier I am sure his Wiccan has alot to do with it.
