Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 794 | Hi Sue, Just got on for the first time in days and read your post. Why don't we talk sometime very soon? today/tonight? I have your number in my cell,not sure if you still have mine, will email you. I'm so sorry that everything is falling apart on you--changes are always difficult for me. I'm hear and looking forward to speaking with you, call anytime. I can't call out till 7pm-for my free minutes  but I have free incoming minutes all the time. everyone is right, this is your home too. You are trying to cope with 3 major figures in your life, all with their own needs, which they will find a way to take care of....you need to find out what YOUR needs are and how to get them addressed immediately for you. I learned that from all the lovely people here...my family, family that has turned out to be better than some of my blood relatives. The best part is someone is always home when you call on them, and you should know for sure that with your mom being so adored here, someone will always happily reach out to you. Lots of Love and may you find some peace in your heart today. Donna

DonnaRose - I'll actually be at a friends birthday tonight and tomorrow I'll be up in LA all day, but Sunday I'm fishing so I can call you from the boat
Mum - sick as a dog, see her sig.
Dad - diagnosed with throat cancer late 2007.
