      From Rocky7 March 5

      oh Katrina ,what a mess!I do feel for you ,you and Na have enough on your plate ,without your mother adding to your worries. (they say you can pick ur friends ,but not your family ,and its true!). I just hope and pray things get easier for you ,and you get some help with the new additions! Life is sure never dull my friend ,is it?? My daughter (middle one) ,is still waiting to hear about in patient care for bulimia~~~~~its so draining watching the once happy ,healthy child i brought into this world ,gradually destroy her body. This should be the best time of her life (mind ,when their this age ,our lives are supposed to get easier ,arent they??Think i must have missed the queue!LOL). Continue to think of you ,and do so hope life will become a little easier.Hows your back?? were the ops and tiring proceedures you went thro` ,worth it?? Take care ,my love and hugs to both you and NA~~love sharon xoxoxoxoxooxo
