2006-2008

For the second time my life is taking a massive change in direction on January 19th. Two years ago I had WLS on the 19th, and tomorrow the two grandchildren I have had for the last year and a half go back to their mother. I am finding it harder than I ever imagined. They have become mine and it hurts to see them go. But it is time. Don't take me wrong, I am happy to have them go back to their mother and have my life back, but it still hurts. On top of that I am so afraid that she will not take care of herself, (she never has before, and she started smoking again a month ago). I have made the decision that if she gets sick again, the children will have to go elsewhere. I can't do this again. Once again, I ask for your prayers as I start another new leg of my life. Hazel

Hazel, Prayers are on the way!!!I hope 2008 is a wonderful year for you!!! hugs, Shannon

I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine how horrible that would be! Hugs n stuff sweetie!!!

Hazel, I have come to realize as much as it hurts.......... you can only control what you do and not what someone else does. You have been wonderful to your daughter and her children and it is time she raises them. I know you love them and it hurts to see what happens but now you need to take care of you and concentrate on your relationship with hubby.....I wish you the best!Look how far you have come....you inspire me! Love and Hugs, Chris

Dear friend: I am so moved about your hard time... I know it hurts a lot to let your grand children to go... I hope it will get better soon and you would find the peace, harmony and happyness you deserve... I pray for you and your family. Love Alejandro from Guadalajara Mexico
