Hug
Wow.. read what you've been dealing with. Here is a hug.
High Five
Good to see you back - Hope things are going ok with you!!! As for us, at this time it is pretty discouraging. Wed. our daughter turned to alcohol and damaged some six cars in a parking lot. She is in jail at the moment, and I am giving serious thought about just cutting her loose. This is the third vehicle type incident since getting her license only 4 months ago. My concern is that if we continue she will end up killing some innocent person.
Hug
My prayers are with you. I lost my dad in 04/2006, and 2 weeks later found out my cousin's 4 year old had brain cancer- he survived another 7 months. In the last year, my hubby has FINALLY gone off of all drugs he was on, and even worked really steadily as an electrician until the economy out here got so bad, now he's struggling with keeping on track! I hope you can get your hubby straightened out! I will be praying for you!
Hug
"A smile costs nothing, but gives much- It takes but a moment, but the memory of it usually lasts forever. None are so rich that can get along without it- And none are so poor but that can be made rich by it. It enriches those who receive, without making poor those who give- It creates sunshine in the home, Fosters good will in business, And is the best antidote for trouble- And yet it cannot be begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is of no value Unless it is given away. Some people are too busy to give you a smile- Give them one of yours- For the good Lord knows that no one needs a smile so badly As he or she who has no more smiles left to give." ~Author Unknown
