I don't know your plans or where you're going but I've been thinking for a while now that it would be good if you could have a job where you weren't having to be a caregiver and let someone do the caregiving for a change. You deserve those 8-9 hours away and I think it will make all the difference in your life. We all want what we can't have. I wish my kids lived across country and then I wouldn't feel so guilty when I can't help them out all the time.

You are the most loving and courageous woman I've known in a long time. As for the roller coasters in life, well Hon, just hang on. You have more inside you than you can possibly imagine. Take some time for yourself. Come to OK and I'll take care of you.Steppinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585237471037977424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-47550345096762548692009-01-24T14:06:00.000-06:002009-01-24T14:06:00.000-06:00I agree, you are one of the most courageous, as we...I agree, you are one of the most courageous, as well, as humble people around.

My step-grandkids live 10 hours away and we rarely see them. I haven't seen the 3 yo since he was 8 months old, and I haven't seen the 4 mo. old ever. *sigh* <BR/><BR/>You are one of the most courageous women I know. Even if your heart is breaking into a million pieces, you are strong. Love it that you're making changes for yourself. You go, girl. <BR/><BR/>p.s. I LOVE roller coasters, especially wooden ones. I am so sorry you are unable to ride them anymore!Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607599900573988844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235715250548029188.post-68897424487370423492009-01-23T16:30:00.000-06:002009-01-23T16:30:00.000-06:00Being superwoman does not get you far.

I know that if God wanted me to go to Africa or Asia or some other far place I would go, but for now, I get to live close to my parents and it is a JOY! I pray that I never have to be far from them. I would sacrifice almost anything to stay close.
