Hi Oneiro:

 

Sounds to me that life is improving for you overall....in many ways,esp. the job ,one that you can both tolerate, and perhaps (if all goes well)  enjoy!

 

As for Ralph & I, we do the best we can, living just day to day.

I get my first social security check (who would have thought?)I'd ever get THAT old?

 

Anyway, it comes in March 09, and not much because I haven't worked full time since the children were born when I was 25.

I worked as a Real Estate agent, for a short while in the 1980s to get the necessary quarters in to allow me a check at age 62. It will be only $500.00 per month, but Ralph has already allocated it (spent it), in many ways,.

 

We aren't really looking forward to Christmas, (we don't decorate for instance) as we  have no children or grandchildren around us now.

Becky (the oldest) moved across the country now to the east coast, (she's miserable there of course, and I did her SR at the time, but she still moved), even though the SR showed how miserable she'd be in the new place. COLD , WET, and always miserable weather over there compared to 300 sunny days in Arizona.

 

Well, serves her right for moving  We visited her new home last month for 2 weeks or so, and went to see Niagara Falls, while there as she's within reach of it by a few  hours.

 

It surprised us because the Falls aren't so large afterall.....and we always thought they would be. I think when you live in AZ, everything here is larger then life (big Falls), so when you go to Niagara in Canada or NY, it pales in comparison.

But it was nice anyway, just to see them finally.

 

We saw our two grandchldren, (Becky's kids), Dean   &  Lindsey, ages 12 (a Pisces boy), and Linds, (Virgo Sun age 8), while there

and that was very nice since we miss them so much.

Ralph especially so, as he has a Cancer moon, and is so much the mommy of family.,loves little kids.

 

Of course, Jessica's death was not a real shock, but yet devastating to us all.

Especially to her sister Jennifer, who had re-introduced herself into the relationship with her little sister only 18 months ago.

So, jen did get 18 months with her, (mostly worry, and upset but a lot of happier times too, when they shopped together, laughed together , went to restaurants together, and just enjoyed their sisterhood reunion),

But not being able to stop Jessica's mental derangement, was terrible for Jen as for Becky.

 

We were not able to do this, even though I dreamt consistently over 5 years how very much she was in trouble (mentally), and warned everyone, in the end, we couldn't stop it.

 

Now since she is gone, these nightmares of her mental & emotional deranged mind are ceased.

 

The last one I had was in Egypt, this last June, our last trip.

That one was unlike all my other dreams, in that it was very short, and to the point.

 

It simply showed me many "boxes" and in each box, Jess was scattered, (a piece of her) in each box.

 

I knew upon awakening, it was saying, her mind was very scattered now, but still in August, just 2 months later, when the end came, we were still devastated as nothing can prepare you for this.

 

Now there are two little girls, (twins age 4.5) without a mom.

Their dad (typical Jess choice), will not allow us to see them.,but he will allow Jen & Becky to occassionally see them.

 

Thank god, because we manage to get the photos and the video of their lives and have saved them for the girls.

 

One day they will think for themselves, and want to meet their grandparents long denied them, but until then we try to do the best we can with what we've got.

 

I'm glad you joined CyberStream , and I'll okay the membership today.

I'm still looking about, to see if I can find a place that I can archive our history.......I think I might have found one, but we'll also keep Cyberstream as a place we all can communicate both astrology, our dreams and whatever else.

 

I was trying to find a place like this one that gives us a great deal of

space and freedom and is easy to use.

But looks like the archiving or transfer of old posts I couldn't do on the Cyberstream.

 

Perhaps I'll find a 2nd spot soon to add our archives.

 

Glad to read your update and that you are doing well.

 

Deb (Merry Christmas to all, and may the Prince of Peace

bring peace into all of our lives as we recall his love)
