It is nice to know that I am not alone in my limited ability to care for my grandchildren. I just hope and pray that my daughter gets over being hurt and can accept me for who I am now instead of who she perceives me to be, or wants me to be. I think that hurts most of all! Grandchildren are the most precious little gifts ever, but boy oh boy do they wear us out. Glad I'm not the only one. It's so good to have you home, Dagny, and I can't wait until we get together again. Take care of yourself, Sharon ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter found a sitter and when she was old enough put her in pre school. I feel guilty because of the price she has to pay for the care. I also wish I could have done it. I guess the guilt stays there. They are fine, I'm still suffering. LOL I think it all works out in the long run. There are reasons things happen, although we may not understand them. TRUST is what we must have and boy sometimes it's hard to let go and put it in God's hands. At least for me. I'm getting better though. LOL Hope your treatment went okay. Let us know. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 Dagny, You got that right about spring getting here. I am sure looking forward to it. Maybe then I will get over these colds etc. The weather sure has been crazy this year for sure. It got really cold her last night and warmed up today, then the wind started blowing and it was ice cold. Take care and thanks for the good thoughts. Glenda Glenda and Sharon: Just a note to let you know I am keeping track of you both even when I don't email. I just wish you both good days and good doctors. I'm sure you are both looking forward to spring just as I am. Enough of this rain!
