The Tea Room Community Group
This is a private group by invitation only. It is a group for those who have a loved one with a brain injury. This group was not founded by me but I will serve as the founder temporarily as one of the first members.
I peeked in the door
and the chairs are empty,
the kettle is cold
and the pot offers no tea..
I hear echoes of days gone by
cries of pain and dispair
calls to hang on
and expressins of future hope
and sister love.
The goastss of loved one are there
wandering in the dark recessesof the room
not understanding
what made this place so important to us who dropped by.
I dust off a chair and sit for a while eyes closed remembering those days
A Psalm of Gratitude comes to my lips
A prayer of remembrance for those who had sought rest here
May they all be happy and content in thier lives
may thier loved ones continue thier life journey.
Time marches on ,
our lives have changed,
we have graduated now into life.
Thank you dear Tea Room,
To anyone who happens along, I leave love hugs and encouragement beside a cup of tea for you.

XOX!!!!
Hope everyone else is OK. Miss you guys!
Hugs back at ya, Norma!
Lyndee - it's good to see you!
Molly - it sounds like things are coming together for you. I'm glad the lawsuit is finally behind you :)
Things are a lot different in my world these days. My divorce has been final for 11 months and for the most part I love it. DH's BI still affects my every day but in a different way now. Now it's about how it affects Kidlet. He seems to hate me less and there are days I'd say we're almost friends. I have sadness but a huge sense of relief too.
DH has a girlfriend and they are getting married in May. She seems like she's good to DH and Kidlet adores her so I am happy. She has made it possible for Kidlet to be with his dad and for that I am grateful.
I have been seeing someone for awhile now and he's a great guy. I got involved with him sooner than I probably should have but he understands my situation and is beyond supportive.
There have been so many changes in such a short time, I have stress up the wazoo, am broke, greatly dislike my apartment and am exhausted most of the time but I am happy.
Sending my hugs to everyone.
We are still involved in the lawsuit it seems like a fairy tale to me not quite real but wishful , it wont be settled unti l2016 beleive it or not. that is the date given for us. unbelieve able right?
Well Wade dear is doing so well, happy busy being house man for his brother, doing small jobs(in limbo right now)
Husband is still working to pay off expenses , I amhealing nicely off my antidepressents and volunteering 2 days a week at Thrift store, still I cannot do much stress, but able to hold hooks and needles again to make things. Cut myself off from the toxic ex buisness partner who cause our expenses.because of her mismanagement during the time I could not be there.Lesson hard learned. but she ended up bancrupt and I am not involved in that.
Husband has forgibven me for my not being there and accepts it. He had been so concerned I was not going be around for him.
I am physically nearly healed from my fall there 11/2half ago. still some hip pain but we made our second bedroom into an exersize room and it does help
In all this I have learned to trust God in all things not to worry so much to take action and not allow others to run over me. love those around me with no reservation and accept meand love me.
Hugs and love dear ones. I will leave notes from time to time. and life goes on
I am doing ok, my family Physcian Retired so now I am seeing a NEW DOCTOR!!! one visit and I am placed on B/P medication, Cholesterol Med, and a new Anxiety Med!!!! My B/P is outrageous!!!!! Also went in last week for scraping of my uterus, I had a BAD PAP come back and they are just going threw the regular BS to make sure I don't have CA or anything.... Tim took very good care of me before during and after.... AND HE BETTER!!!! :)
Little is doing WONDERFUL!!!!! his first report card was all A's and 1 B!!!!!! he missed that A by 1 POINT!!!!!!
I now have to look up to him...hard to believe when this all happened he was so small and fragile..... now he is a young man.... 16 in January!!!! yikes!!!! and I have to stand on the steps to brush his hair in the morning before the school bus comes..... :)
I miss you all terribly...... but I do not miss the situations that brought us all together.... we have all BEEN THREW it we are SURVIVORS!!!!! We now know who we truly are and what we can over come...
I will also leave notes and pop in from time to time.... just in case anyone needs a ear...... I will not truly ever leave to Tea Room my spirit and my love will linger on....
HAPPY THANKSGIVING my DEAR SISTERS!!!!!! <3
He has NO CHOICE MUFFIN!!!!! LOL I have told him the way he looks outside of the house is a REFLECTION on ME!!!! SO he better just let me do it.... :) The most horrible thing about having a child with ASPERGERS Syndrome is... they really don't care how they look!!!!! LOL
I miss the Kidlet age...... :( although Timmy is STILL very close to me, I see him slowly developing a much "SAFER' and healthier relationship with his Father.... I say safer because Little has been very leary of his father because when Tim was in the hospital he would YELL at Little to GET OUT.... Later I found out Tim didn't MEAN it to be mean..... he just didn't want his son to see him like that... I asked him to explain that to Timmy and he did... :)
I will not be getting my test results til Dec. 11th....LOL I instructed the Doctor to NOT call me before my Appt. time...... My Blood Pressure has been outrageous and I am not trying to have a HEART ATTACK!!!! :)
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays.....
now they both are so handsome, muscled deep voiced, they hugg and give me pats on the head.
other news, looks like there may be a settlement soon, since we forced them to hand over pictures of the stairwell before it was fixed. they now dont want to go to court with a jury. They had opted for the jury themselves. Yhey are coming very close to ur numbers. May the new year bring closure.We need to get away from this bunch of idiots who keep hastlingnOUR Son. so my fingers are crossed Feb 16 will be five years, an eternity.
I have went down a dress size this past fall, working out, eliptical and recumbant bike as well as weights (small hand ones) and really changing my eating style. taking a cider vinegar, cinnamon, tumric and red ceyanne pepper with honey and lemon in a 12 oz glass of filtered water once a day and vitamins. too.trying to change honestly I want to live again I see a lovely future ahead.
so love you sister.
and if Snap ever drops in, I wish you all the very best in the future, your wacky humour boosted me up so many times
