Today is better. I am trying to think of only good memories of Tina. I try not to let myself drift back to the "what if's" and to the long days she was in the hospital. They do crop up every now and then, but God is helping me every step of the way, as is my husband and my daughter, Cathy. I don't have any grandchildren....Tina wanted children but it never happened. She did have three cats. I look at those cats as almost like my grandchildren. I know that must sound really dumb, but since she loved them so much, I also love them. So, although they aren't human, they can really be a handful!!! As anyone with cats knows.
It is a sunny, warm, not a cloud in the bright blue sky today in Colorado. I think it broke a record, it got to 71. Wow, this weather is so strange, but I am not complaining. I walked today, for the first time in a long time, and it felt great. It wasn't a long walk. I am starting out slow. I have RA and mild copd, so I have to work my way up to 5 miles a day. Hopefully I can keep up the walking. It sure does help me feel better mentally and physically.
So, all in all, I would say I am doing better!! God bless all of my friends on DS, and esp. grndmudder. You are an inspiration to me.

Glad the days are getting better and the "what if's"are only cropping up every now and again. It takes a long time to figure out they don't get answered. I love your cat story. My son was too young to be married or have children when he died but he always wanted what he called a "weiner dog". One day, I think I'll just get one in his memory. Glad you have Tina's cats to love. Love to you friend. Robin

My son wanted children and when he got cancer they told him he now may not be able to and he stated that is okay I wanted to adopt anyway and give kids a father because I never really had one. He stated every kid needed a dad. This coming from a 13 year old. But I have a cat that is 9 years old a dog that 5 years old and another dog that is 12 months old. the cat & the 5 year old dog was Justin's. He wanted us to buy a house so he could have has many animals he wanted. well so he thought. But due to his illness and losing a job we where not able to purchace our home. That was the one thing that I wanted to give him my whole life was a house with a fence. But it wasn't to be. Sorry started blabbing. Take care sweat heart and thanks for your comment and support.
