Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Tess I am so sorry to hear your parents were hurt. I know you must be worried. Even though your parents must be in pain and let's face it, car accidents are very tramatic, I know you have peace of mind knowing you can help them now whereas you couldn't a year ago if this had happened. I know your parents must be so thankful you can help them now when they need you the most. Hugs to you and your family in Ct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Tess, I'm so sorry to hear about the accident, just glad they are alright. I know how scared that made you feel. Glad you were there for them, to help them through all of that. Yes, you just have to keep up the faith, and let go some times with your children, it's tough. My oldest daughter who is 22, has been driving me a little crazy, but I have to let her make her own choices. It's kind of hard to watch that. You take care, and know that my prayers go out to the family, and to the young girl, I know she is scared and frightened.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Tess, I¹m sorry your parents were involved in an accident. I hope everyone recovers with no residual problems. It¹s wonderful that you were able to be so helpful and supportive. Your weight loss is very impressive. You are doing the right thing with Em. The serenity prayer was helpful to me when my kids were driving me over the edge. There are just some things that are out of your control. I will keep your family in my prayers. a > Hi Friends...My folks - Dad 85, Mom 82, were in a car accident on > Saturday.
