once again i felt drawn to read your journals before i wrote in mine,life we know goes on even when we feel like its the end of the world,friends help even friends you have never met as in misty,s,and i do feel like you are old friends, we are the faceless people who hope what we write in here will help another just a prayer said for you or the feeling that others are reading and taking you into thier thoughts,i still have my young lodger with me who has not long now to go before her baby is born, and it looks like she is going to be with us for a while even after the baby comes,it will be strange to have a baby in the house again after so many years but im sure we will cope,i supose crossing the 59 yr old b/day made me stop and think as this means that next year ill be an oap,but being 60 is just another number it dosent take away the aches and pains we just get on with life,my daughter jade has just had her 22nd b/day to and she seems content with life as it is, she has told me that if she marries( the man she marries) will have to come and live here as she has no intention of leaving home,after caring for me since she was 10 she says no one else can do it like her, she was a blessing born so long after my son who was 16 when jade was born,i also seem to have got closer to my eldest daughter over the last few months and the road for me now seems less rocky,i hope that all of you are finding life easier if not you are still in my thoughts and a prayer never goes amiss either,till next time may you all walk in peace many blessings lavender |

(((((Lavender) So much of what you said resonates with me. Being younger (only 56 lol) I still relate to the the changes life throws at us. Very glad to hear that you're getting closer to you daughters. There is something so very special about this relationship, especially as we both mature. I was very fortunate that my Mother and myself were very close before she passed many years ago. Peace & Love to you & yours GypsyDragonLady |

thank you gypsy for your words of wisdom,my father died many years ago and tho we all grieved in our own ways, as there are 6 of us it wasnt until i lost my mother that it really hit me,it may seem odd to say my mother but in some ways i had her longest as im the eldest of us,it also seemed to hit us girls the four of us most,the youngest of us said it wasnt fair as we had had both our mother and father longest,maybe she was right as she was only 14 when our dad died and i was in my late twenties,and she was still only in her thirties when we lost mum there are times even now six years on that i feel the need of my mothers wisdom,and i wonder if we ever grow out of that feeling,it came back very strongly when my neighbour lost her husband last year, she was totally lost they had been all to one another for over sixty years, she and he had moved to england after the war she is austrian he was greek, she had one son who now lives in australia and is seventy suffers with high blood pressure and cannot travel,i had to do all for her as she didnt have a clue as to where to start she is 91, so i am now her reader of official letters her dealer of all things, i try to see her each day even when it hasnt been a good day for me, this is often the reason i go weeks without going on line there isnt enough time in the day,she is a lovely lady and i have lived next door to her for 31 yrs now she often repeats herself time and again and i let her she dosent remember telling me before my mother used to do the same thing,the only real comfort i can give her is to tell her she will meet her husband again when her time comes,she tells me she often feels he is there with her and i have told her to talk to him, as this will give her comfort and makes her realise this isnt all there is to life, it isnt easy when it isnt part of your family and when i first began to help her i told her dont you dare offer me money, she asked why i did what i did for her i told her because i can, i made sure she had a mothers day card and a birthday card to, i take her flowers as she dosent need much else and is a very independant lady to who still does her own shopping,it is just a small thing but it helps not only her but me to,and i promised her when her time comes ill make sure all is done right and she will be reunited with her beloved husband,if these small things bring comfort that is a promise i will keep,till next time blessings to you all lavender |
