Checking In Mood
Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Hello My Friends,

 

Life is so busy and so challenging, these days.  I have been working on letting go of the pain related to my son and the choices he has made.  Of course, I still love him and am there for him, but I don't spend my world trying to figure out what to do for him.  He wrote me a horrible letter telling me that if I don't do everything he asks of me (send more money, etc.) he will never have anything to do with me again.  He said he will not even come to my funeral.  Yup, he is a jerk.  He has apologized for his nasty letter, but it was a sign for me to move on with my world and not spend every day thinking about what I can do for him.  I am still there for him, but not as focused on him.  It has been healthy for me.  He is where he is because of his choices.  I don't have to suffer with him and suffer for him, especially when he is such a selfish and cold hearted person.  

 

I have wanted to check in on you all and wanted to let you know that many of you come into my thoughts and prayers on occasion.  I don't visit here like I used to, but I do check in once in a while.  If you need me just send me a note and I will be there for you, in anyway that I can.  I am not as savvy as some of you are, or as inspriational as others, but I will do my best to give you the support you need.  I must chime in more often.

 

Many of you were there for me when I needed strength and support.  You held me up and gave me guidance (you know who you are).  God Bless you all and may you find inner strength to see you through all this maddness.  

 

Warm Hugs and Much Respect,

RS
