Re: Carol-Millie mystery clues! OT, but rather interesting, and revealing!

Carol-

A silver lining for sure.

Thank you for sharing this with us here. We are a kindred kind here, a

kindred spirit, a kindred family. A reason all of us wouldn't wish on our

worse enemies yet brought together to share in one another's lives.

I could have never fathomed the idea of people all over the world holding me

in their thoughts and prayers before LBD. Because of LBD I have had both

the pleasure and honor of meeting so many wonderful people.

Keeping you close in my thoughts and prayers. I shall send up a special

prayer for you and Jim tonight-

Sandie

Des Moines, IA

dad, Merle, passed away from LBD 9-20-02, age 65

mum, Jo, (MIL) passed away from LBD 4-29-07, age 78

-- Millie mystery clues! OT, but rather interesting,

and revealing!

You guys are getting to know me well enough now and you know Jim is

pretty distant emotionally from his mother, and that is part of the

reason I am doing the caregiving!

Jim never talks about stuff and this morning he shared that when he

was a kid and was having asthma attacks and couldn't breathe, and

needed to go to the hospital, his mom always refused to take him, and

his Dad would have to override Millie and take him anyway!

I have been married to Jim for over 30 years, and this is the first

time I am hearing this story. What a telling story! I can certainly

undedratnd more of the dyanmics of their relationship.

Now he does all of her legal work and is the POA, but I can certainly

understand more now.

So, an upshot of LBD is that Jim is finally telling me things I

should have known 30 years ago.

I hope in his subconscious mind he doesn't think that I am aiding and

abetting the enemy. In his right mind, I know he doesn't feel that

way, but I can tell he is peeling away years of hurt, here!

So, through all of this, there is promise.

I just find it so incredible, and you are my cyber family, and I

needed to share with someone.

Carol
