Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sandie, Thank you for the prayers and thoughts. For a minute I thought you had me mixed up with someone else until I remembered it was Oct. and it is almost the 17th. Can't believe the fall has passed so quickly. Every year about this time I get a bit depressed and always wonder why until I remember the date. It is really hard to believe 4 years have passed. But if I am having a hard time remembering the date, it must be getting better. How are you doing (and everyone else) after 4 years? Love to everyone and lots of Hugs too.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Isn't it strange that we get in the dumps years after a LO dies, in the same Month, maybe even the same day, and not realize why until later? I did it for years after Daddy's death. Imogene In a message dated 10/16/2006 10:56:03 AM Central Daylight Time, twomido@... writes: Sandie, Thank you for the prayers and thoughts.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Donna- Well, after 4 years I am doing fine. We have had so many other deaths since then that I continue to feel the grief yet feel that life has it's meaning of which I don't really need to understand. My mind still knows that dad is in a better place, my heart, on the other hand, has days when it isn't so easily convinced. Some days are much easier than others as I am sure you know. I know my dad is around me and that helps. I feel he and my mom give me signs and that helps sustain me in life. Take care tomorrow. I will keep you in my thoughts all day and as I mentioned, will send up special prayers from tonight all through tomorrow for you.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 That is really true, Imogene. I have been depressed all week and didn't know why. I usually figure it out later.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I sure am sorry dear, Donna. It is so hard. I'll be glad when this discomfort is gone from you. It does lessen over the years.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks Courage and Imogene. It is hard to believe it was almost 8 years since I went to pick her up in the little town in WI she lived in because she had a total melt down. And it has been 4 years since I left the hospital and her fight with LBD was over. I appreciate Sandie and all those who reminded me why I have been so depressed all week.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Sandie, I am sure glad you reminded me of the date. I was getting more and more depressed and couldn't account for it, until I got your message. I am doing better today (Wed.) and I am sure it will be getting better yet. There is a good chance I will be finally selling Mom's home in WI, right before or after the first of the year. I love that house and if I was ever going to find another house, it would be one very much like her ranch. I wish it were closer. I would sell my home and move in. It is way to far away from the kids. I know how hard it was to go 12 hours to visit, and then after a week 12 hours back. I had to go for a week, because I tried it in 3 days once and it was way. way to much. So I will have to find one like it here, or build one. You have had your share of deaths in the last 4 years. Sending you good thoughts and memories of all your family who have gone ahead of you. There will sure be lots of help when it is your turn. That's how I think of it.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi Donna- I felt bad after reminding you of the date. Wasn't sure if I had over stepped. So very glad you are doing better. I am so sorry you are needing to sell your mom's house. I know how much it means to you and yet it has been such a worry. Have your step's stopped bothering you about money and/or the house? Ah yes, the many deaths in our family. As you know there have been even more. I do feel that Heaven will hold one huge family reunion once I am there. A Heavenly round of chocolate for everyone!!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Sandie, No, I really appreciated that you did that. It explained what was happening to me and I do it every year and am not good at dates. When I get busy doing stuff, I am having a hard time just remembering family birthdays and anniv. and friends who have their own dates to be remembered. Once you brought it up I got even better because at least I understood what was happening. My son said he didn't know if he should say anything and that really surprised me. I asked him if he remembered and he said, " Oh, yes. " I still have to send a note to Sally and haven't yet. Yes, we are all going to have a reunion when this is over. Say a prayer for our Detroit Tigers as they do their first world series in 20 some years. Everyone is excited here. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 PS Yes, I would have loved to move into that house. It is rented and the renter really loves the house too, He may buy it. The steps are out of the picture $50,000. later. Give people enough money they go away. Thanks for asking.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hi Donna- Give them enough money...sheesh!! I shall keep quiet as I know you have the same feelings about that whole situation. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I shall watch the Series tonight with anticipation that the Tigers will come through for you, and all the other Michigan fans! So glad they made it to the Series. It has been brought to my attention over and over how I do remember dates. Family, friends, and everyone I know reminds me of my memory and dates. Can be a good thing, and at times I suppose it can be a not so good thing. Anyhow, I am glad I helped identify the sadness you were feeling. To think your son remembered yet didn't mention anything - he must be a very sensitive man.
