Can we say Breathe??

After a whirlwind month of August and first week of September, I am almost sad to say, Things are getting back to normal around my house. That would mean that yes, my daughter has moved to Indiana, left yesterday......Although, I know that she is branching out and is on a new chapter of her life, I am sad because I missed her as they pulled out of the drive way. I am excited for her and can't wait to go visit with her and help her set up her new house, but still....miss her just the same!!!

My sisters life is starting to get back to some degree of normal and as well as my nieces. Her kids have started school and she has gotten into some counseling and is moving forward with her process to have WLS by the end of the year.
THis past summer has taught me alot about myself. Thru all the heartache and stress that has been going on in my life, I am alot stronger than I ever gave myself credit for. I have found out that my Faith has pulled me thru some pretty tough times and my Family has been blessed over and over again. I thank the Good Lord each and every day for that!! I also Thank Him for all of you here on OH. I really do not know where I would be today if it weren't for all of you!!

Anyway, just wanted to say hey all and thanks for being there for me when I really needed someone!!

Carol,

So good to hear from you.  Someone asked about you at Maple Grove coffee the other day - so I'm really glad to hear that you're on the right track!  I pray that you continue in that direction!

God bless!

Carol,

You have had a whirlwind going on........You are a strong person, and have embraced everything and figured it out......Saying goodbye to our kids is hard.....But going to visit is even better......

I'm glad things are going better for your sister & niece.......How is Amber's son doing? I know she was saying he was having a hard time.

Take care, and hopefully with things settling down you can start joining in on the fun.....

Hey Carol....I was just going to send you a PM and saw your post.

I was thinking about you as I knew this might be a tough day for you.
I am here when you need me....not here alot this week but always available by phone. I am leaving for Childrens Hospital soon.

Wish you could have joined us Saturday...what a blast that was...wooohooo!! It would have been so good for you. But I understand why you couldn't come.

I am glad to hear things are settling down for Mikki and Amber as well.
That was a very difficult time for all of you. Prayers were answered!

Hope you have a better week. Do something fun just for you...you deserve it!!

Love and hugs....connie d

Funny how we're all so hard on ourselves, not giving ourselves the credit we deserve.  I had NO DOUBT you were a strong woman when I first had a chance to get to meet you a year ago - you give off strength, Carol!  You just needed a few trials in life to prove it to yourself!

Hang in there (not that I had any doubts you could).  We're here, and I'm looking forward to the next chance we get to spend some time together!!

Carol,

I am so excited to hear that things are going better for you and your family!  I asked about you on Sat at coffee - my thoughts and prayers are definitely with you!  I will continue to pray for your strength to continue!

Remember, I am always just a phone call or pm away!

Hugs!

I am glad things are getting back on track and normal.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Many Many hugs to you.....

Carol- That has to be tough with your daughter moving out of state, at least she's not either coast. Glad things are settling down and getting better for you and your family. Getting through rough spots definately strengthen a persons faith.

Hi Carol, you're right:  breathe,  breathe,   breathe! Prayers continue , for smooth sailing  for everyone in your family.  Wishing you (and yours)  only the best!  Hugs, Patti
