Re: For Donna and Francisco

[Guest guest]

Dear Donna and Francisco- I am sorry that there are some trying times in your life right now. I got divorced once when i was younger and it affected me so badly that I didnt even look to date for like 12 years and then after 16 years of being single I finally got married a second time, for me it was the best thing i ever did, well then it ranks right up there with having wls was the best thing i ever did, and having my daughter was the best thing i ever did ( LOL) I guess what i mean to say is that sometimes things change for the better in a loss of choice or not choice........................I dont know what it feels like to have parents getting divorced when you are an adult, mine did it when i was 7 or 8, infact to be honest i think i blocked a lot of that out of my mind, because i have no recollection of them arguing or anything, just came home from a vacation one day and was told my dad was on a business trip, till my

best friend told me she overheard the avon lady say that don and terry broke up, and she told me my dad moved to the city and was in love with another lady.................... Donna you sound like a beautiful person and like you have more than been an angel in a difficult situation and I bet your boys will understand, and Francisco, I am sure it was hard for you mom to tell you about your dad.......................Are parents are always suppose to be so together .................................I will pray for both of you and just know that i care about it all for the both of you ColleenDonna Jordon wrote: Francisco Thanks for the nice words, and it is hard and will get better.

understand all you mean with your brother and parents. I know this is hard on my boys, but they are so supportive. You'll be in my prayers also.

Colleen Thanks for your kind words. It will all work out, just will take some time getting use to being single after 24 years and just 10 months post op of WLS and what to have plastic surgery this year at least arms and breast. Just being 50 in November and all these changes from heavy to small, 24 years of marriage to going to be single, plastic surgery this year and thinking how the heck do you work all this out and move on. There will be a way that it all works out, then I will be like Francisco trying to see who's the right soul mate. Right Francisco I will have to ask for advice. My boys are the best and really show their love and support, as so do many of you here. Thanks again. Take care. DonnaColleen Garner wrote: Dear Donna and

Colleen:

You're so right. We have so little control over what's going on

around us. I just have to put my troubles in God's hands and let it

all work out the way it needs to work out. Change and loss, while

scary, are not always a bad thing. Sometimes change and loss is

necessary for rebirth. We are all examples of that.

The only thing I can do is to keep doing what I need to stay healthy

and on track with my food intake/exercise.

Your support and prayers mean the world to me.
