Ian's pain

[Guest guest]

Ian...I just want to reach across the sea and give your Viking butt

a huge hug right now. I suppose you realize that I know the pain of

having to send your child away. This pain is far worse that anything

PA can do to us. Allow the way that you have survived thus far to be

your strength and encouragement. You always make it Ian. You will

make it now too. And so will your son. You must be so relieved to

have him in a safe place right now. Please use this time to rest and

refuel...build up the spoon inventory. Then maybe use them as drum

sticks as you listen to your exotic form of Metal...something to

relieve the pressure, anger and disappointment you must be feeling.

I suppose if French Heavy Metal does it for you then rock on but

myself....oh you know already....Barry Manilow, Nat King Cole (or

Nat King Kong as my daughter said when she was a babe), Krall.

Somehow the thought of you listening to any of that cracks me up.

I'm whimpy when it comes to my music. Don't know if you are a

praying man but that's ok...I'll be praying enough for both of us. I

think some others on here will do that as well. You are cared for

and it seems that your son is cared for as well. I am glad that you

were able to share this. That gives you at least one spoon back ya

know. Not good to keep it in. I'm proud of you for letting it out.

Please vent and share here...you know I am here for you. -Betz
