First I am so sorry I have not been here for all of you. My friend's dog ate my lapto power cord and it shorted out something that costs $300. My friend also crashed my car. Only a minor thing, but it is costing us the $500 deductible (the repair is only $600) Of course she can't pay for any of it. The good news is though that she is out of my house and has a job and a car. Oh the Lord is Good! She owes James $150 as he took her to the doctor and paid for it. I am pretty sure that is a lost cause, and to top that off her dog came back to my house today! I am considering holding him for ransom. LOL
I am not really laughing much. I am very depressed and crying a lot. My grandson and his wife just up and left my dead son's house, along with it's full contents and 2 dogs. They did not even tell us thy were going. I found the dogs hungry with no water and no AC or windows open. I am in Florida in August and it was 98 degrees in that house. I just noticed no cars, no people(usually there was a constant stream of people) and I took my extra key and went to check. Had I waited another day the dogs would not have surrvived. I am so disgusted and disapointed in Mike.
For the past 2 week ends James and I have been going throught Steven's things. I had Steven's daughter come out and she took some of his things. I kept some of his things. I took out Mikes clothes and the babys. the wife didn't leave a stitch of hers.
Oh God that was so hard. It hurt the most that it did not even feel like Steven's house anymore. Mike and his wife ruined that feeling. I can feel Steven more here at my home than I did at his "used to be home"
I left alot of Steven's things, and that hurts me, but I don't have room to keep everything, and you know it just isn't practical or possible. Steven worked so hard, and he only owed $25,000 on the house when he died. I paif the mortage a year. Mike got a job and a good one. He has no excuse, but being young and stupid. I know he is hurt and grieving too, but that is no excuse for this knd of behaviour. Steven always paid his bills and he did great as a father right up till his brother died. Some of me died with Paul and so did part of Steven. He didn't surrvive. We got him to go to the DR and get antidepressants, and we got him counseling. You cannot make a grown man want to do anything.
I will surrvive this too as I am done. I am leaving the house as it is now. There is dishes, a washer/dryer, linnens, and everything, plus the stuff already stored out in Stevens shed. That is where he hung himself, and I can't go in there again. I did it once, because I had to. I won't again. He is in my heart and that is all I need.
James and I joined the gym. I can only do the water arobecs because of all my health things, but it is good.
I can't check in often for now, but I will when I can, and I pray for all of you my dear friends. Love always Peggy

I am so sorry to hear all that has happened. It is a shame what your Grandson has done to you. I don't think I could have even gone into that house. Thank God you did though. Those innocent dogs would have perished.
Hugs, Barbara

Peggy,Bless your heart! I'm with you dear. This was just a very ugly think to do. I do not care who they are they should pay for this! other wise how are they ever going to learn! I feel so sorry for those poor dogs,I would report it to animal control,and let the law deal with them, They are a danger to animals,and after doing this should go before a judge and let him slap a huge fine on them,and see to ot that they can never have another animal in their care. Hun you better watch out for those two, They don't seem to care who or what they hurt.Maybe a year behind bars and a 2000 fine might wake them up. Their lucky I'm not a judge,I would slap the book at them. I know you must care and this hurts,But don't you think this is a matter for the law? Spair the rod,and spoil the child! Love Nanny

I so happy to see your post. I was indeed getting worried. So sorry to hear of the lastest news. Now, my dear, how about taking care of yourself and your husband. You've done all you can, perhaps because of your loving heart, more than you need to. It's great you and James joined a gym. Love, Dianne
