Just checking in

I wanted to say thank you to all that posted regarding my mother's passing. Paula printed it off and gave it to me, it meant alot to me. I miss my mother very much and wonder if I will ever have a day that I don't cry at least once for her. She was such a wonderful person, we are all better just for having her a part of our lives. BIG THANKS to Paula and some other friends that helped me with my house and children throughout the week while I was taking care of family. I filed for a divorce, it should be final towards the end of July. I met a great man that I care alot about. I got a job that I love and they are happy with my work and giving me more and more hours. I am hoping that I can go full time here sometime this summer. I am still wearing 3/4's and sm/med in shirts. I have put on a few pounds, instead of being as flat as I was I have some curves to me. I am playing co-ed softball with my boyfriend in the Quad Cities this summer. My kids are doing good... they get along great with my boyfriend... which is nice since he does watch them for me alot when I work... I miss this board and the people on it. Take care everyone.

Julie I know how you feel about your mom. I lost mine 13 years ago and I miss her every day. It gets easyer, I know she is with me every day and one day the tears will stop and God will put her into your soul to carry with you every day. The tears are his way of cleansing the our souls and making room for the joy we had when they were with us. Hang in there! Cheri

Glad that you are checking, Julie. A lot of us were praying for you and your family during your recent loss. I can't imagine losing my mother because we are so close. Give the healing process time and things will get a little easier, I'm sure. About that boyfriend, now, hope that he treats you as wonderfully as you deserve! God bless, Andrea
