Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Dear barbara.... I understand your situation. I celebrate your pool. It is the only place I do not hurt. Please be careful and talk to an attorney. Instead of selling my home to my kids I made them irrevocable beneficiaries. My home is outside of probate. Fl law is so different with homesteading and all. Property Taxes would severely increase. Get careful advice to achieve your goals and protect your family. All states have different laws. Your divorce atty should provide the info for free.... Blessings, love and light....

I feel the same as you do about Doreen and Tawny. It never ceases to amaze me how we connect so much to our members. It is like a huge hug and warmth around our battered, tired, and hurting body. This group of wonderful, caring people, mean the world to me. I have learned so much about my RA, and what others are dealing with daily. It has helped me immensely. About that pool . ha ha ha When we decided to move here to Florida because of my RA, I wanted to buy a house with a pool. Well, we fell in love with the house we bought, which did not have a pool. My husband said we could put one in after. Well after never came. He changed his mind and said no pool. I was devastated by this. I joined a health club for the arthritic pool program, but had to quit. It was so cold from the AC, that when you got out of the pool that was 94 degree's, it was painful. The tile floors were the worst. It was a great class, so helpful, but after, I was in agony. I was heartbroken that my husband didn't want a pool to help me out. I didn't understand his position and it hurt me. As you know, I am going through a divorce and have been through hell this last year. I did not know where I would go or where I would live. My son got a great job offer here out of the blue. He came to stay with me, during the time my marriage fell apart due to my husbands cheating on me. I was living in hell everyday, and my son saved me literally. He moved my things to storage, and wanted me to come live with him and his family. He sold his house in N.H. and moved his family here. I bought a house with a pool, a foreclosure that I could afford, and here we all are. 3 generations living happily together. It is the house we were looking for, their dream house. I tell you , everytime I go in the pool or even look at it, I am so thankful that we have it. I never thought I would ever have one. It has helped my RA so much. I told my son the other night, we are just so lucky that we found the exact house we wanted and it came with a beautiful inground pool. We are finally living the Florida dream. It just makes me cry to have this. I hope someday your pool dreams come true. Never give up your dream. It can happen. So, when I go in today, I will have a swim for you. How is that???? It's the best I can do right now. To end up with all this is just so amazing to me. They are going to buy the house from me, and this is where I will live for the rest of my life, God willing. Dreams can come true. You write very beautiful letters. I wanted to tell you that before. I hope you are feeling alright, and I wish you many pain free days ahead. I have to tell you that I have found the most loving, and great friendship here with Melynda. She is feeling so much better, and posting again. I am so happy about that. She writes from her heart, as you will see. She has been a great, caring, friend to me through all I have been through. It just amazes us that we found each other, and have so many things in common. God does work in mysterious ways. Enjoy your day as best as you can. God Bless you in all ways. Hugs, Barbara > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi Barbara, I am and always will be so pleased for you Barbara with that pool, boy have you earned it. Good things happen to good people. I sat back today and thought about you having that swim for me. I was there with every stroke, so thank you for that. I have 4 generations living with me, how lucky is that! There's my dad (86) me (54) Malcolm (31) and (5). Also not forgetting my lovely hubby Barry, our other son ( who came back from Afghanistan earlier this year). Malcolm is going through a custody battle with his wife for to remain here. That's taking up a lot of time and the reason I can't contribute to the group more often. But I do try and read what everyone is up to as often as I can. Melynda sounds another lovely person in the group. I have never come across as many genuinely, caring people. I know we all have problems other than medical, but it never ceases to amaze me, with all that's going on in your lives, you always have time for others. Gives me something to aspire to. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of you all. So, until next time, keep on getting better, keep on taking the tablets and keep on being you. Love and hugs ________________________________ From: Barbara <bcreedon@...> Sent: Wednesday, 19 August, 2009 15:55:31 Subject: [ ] Re: OT- SARAH Hi : Thank you so much for your kind words.
