`GD's birthday
Certainly have had some pretty good days since last posting and I am most grateful for them. I should write more often about the good than the bad. I am so blessed to have DH and the fact that he is cancer free for now. We try to do something together every day whether going out to dinner, going for a walk, etc. It doesn't have to be anything special but just to hold hands and think of our blessings.
Today it is really starting to feel like fall and so I guess the walks will be less often. To get very cold this weekend. I'm still wondering what happened to summer. Time flies by so quickly - just wish our EC would realize this is precious time we are wasting when we could be loving one another.
Third GC or 2nd GD birthday is on the 13th. I feel so bad. We had her brother for his birthday in March before the estrangement, we had her older sister for her birthday at end of July but I have no idea what to do or how to do it for this precious child. She is in middle school so I'm sure too old to have cupcakes delivered to her school and other than that, I have no idea what to do for her. How I want to hug and love her. They are all so precious (She's the one with the curly lighter hair). Each one is such a precious blessing. So I am feeling really sad and don't want her to think that we don't care about her. This is just the beginning since Halloween is coming and we won't see even the little ones in their costumes, Thanksgiving will be lonely as will Christmas. Have to find out if there is some where to volunteer. Helping other is the best thing to do.
Anyway, sorry this is another down mood one. Thank you all of caring adn being my friends.

You are blessed that your DH is cancer free. I pray that will be news we will hear soon too. DH and I do enjoy spending time together and after a busy day, watching our favorite TV shows. It is cold here too and a sprinkling of snow overnight. God is so good.
GC bdays are always a sad day for all of us....with 8 GC and 3ES plus DIL\'s I don\'t have a month off but it seems its always a bit harder this time of the year as the holidays approach. We all get reminded of all the \"family gatherings\" that we are missing everywhere we look from now to Jan 1!
Praising the Lord that your DH is cancer free and the EC situation has not split you apart but drawn you together in thankfulness for each other!! God Bless you both with many more healthy days to love each other!!
The thing about going through this is we REALLY learn to appreciate things we probably used to take for granted. I loved what you said about those special times together every day. I too am thrilled for you that your DH is cancer free. A friend of mine encouraged me to start journals for my grandchildren and like on their birthday write special notes and date it. Then one day you can hand it to them and they will KNOW you always loved them. We have to really start praying here in advance for the holidays coming up. God can give us special times because He loves us and we trust Him.
ES has not returned message from our mutual friend. We gave ES a date and hours. So far no reply. It\'s either long range planning which is anything more than one day or not going to happen. I am so afraid that he is going to not reply and we will end up broken hearted again. Praying that it does happen especially for GD. They shouldn\'t have so much hurt when they are just innocents. I pray so hard for EG.
