Kathy in IL ~ Big update and surgery information

[Guest guest]

((((((((((((((Dearest Kathy)))))))))))) ... this must be a very

difficult day for you. I'm so sorry. Please take sweet care of you.

The housing issue is complicated. I would never, ever put Em in a

position of not having housing. Things are so hard for her cause on one

hand she is pretty much a normal young adult with all the hopes and

dreams that come with that. But the disabilities cause trouble in many

ways. She just doesn't " get " some things, and she gets confused

somewhat easily, and in some cases has been taken advantage of. There

is a possibility she may work as sort of a nanny for some friends and

live there. There is also the possibility we may stay in our 2 bedroom

for now, but on Sec. 8. Some decisions are going to have to be made in

the next few months.

You are such a trooper, Kathy. I admire you very much. Hang in there,

kiddo, and know you are loved very much.

Always...

hard i try, the events from that day just come back. oh well. i really hope

things work out for you and em. dan is having such a hard time finding work. we

Kathy- I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you...those anniversaries

can be awfully tough. I know what you mean about the job climate here! I'm so

lucky I'm in a growing field! But my 17 year old son, who has never had a

" real " job, has been trying to find something part time for a year! The problem

is so many adults are needing 2nd and 3rd jobs just to support their

families, that my teen goofball doesn't stand a chance. Good luck to you both.

Wow Kathy, closing Fannie Mae, that has been there forever! I just told my

husband as he walked in and he couldn't believe it!!!!!

I know how difficult anniversaries can be, I am glad that you managed to make

to make it thru another year.

Gentle, tender, angel hugs,
