I will write this column again because right now I am furious.It is a sin to lose your temper.It means the fires of hell.but what has happened to me has made me and Brad mad.Frank gave me a box and he told me never to open it.He told me to wait at least 1 year and then I see the contents.Then my sainted brother laughed and I aske him what was in this box.."Im not going to tell you." he said and then he laughed.We had visitors over the other day and it was rare.Brad got a call that someone wanted to see me and it was my aunt who moved here several years ago.I had Franks clothes on the chair and she saw the box.When my back was turned..she took the box and put it in her car.She also took Franks clothes and such and that was gone,also.SHe was going to give these away..without asking me.Who does she think she is anyway? No wonder why nooone visits!Brad got everything back and took the box inside.I saw a letter inside of the box and it was written by Frank.My brother wrote me a letter 1 month before he died and never mailed it.You see,my sainted brother was very,very ill and he did not let anyone else know.He told the doctor and head nurse..never to let others know.And noone knew.He also told the head nurse if he ever got sicker..never to get in touch with me..leave it to my other brother.Frank also had a picture.It was taken when he was 21.I have put it on a table by my bed and I look at it everyday.Noone has the right to take the deceased clothes.She didnt have the right.She was told by the police.Unless it is a legal matter here..she didnt have the right.As for me..I have decided no one else comes over.I will meet people at Starbucks and such..I just cant have people over.She told me that by removing the box and clothes...it was for my own good.Whose good? I aint 5 years old! I am 61 and if I want to have Franks picture and such..it is my business not the business of a frustrated middle aged woman whose husband literally ignores her and I can see why.Remember..the clothes and such ...stay.It belongs in the family.It doesnt belong in a junkyard.Because I will never see Frank again and he wanted me to cherish the pictures.Question..whose good? Hers or mine? But if I wanted a shrine and such..it is just none of her business.

I totally understand how you feel. My mother keeps telling me that I need to get rid of my sons cloths and sell all of his tools. I can't do it because that is all I have left of my angel. Sometimes I son't think anyone usderstands how I feel, thank goodness for my friends at DS.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
