Today Was Better
It's amazing what a little perspective will do for you. Today Steve, Ryan and I went to my Women's Bible Study hour, Steve to Storytime class--Ryan to the nursery, and as I explained my need for my particular prayer request, people laughed. People nodded their heads. Most of these women had been there or are currently there. The great thing about this group of ladies is that we are all different ages, and that's where the perspective came in. I trust these women. They are like my surrogate mom(s). Truth be told, I was missing my own mom yesterday, and wishing that she was standing there next to me during that photo session. She always knew the right thing to say to me, to put things in perspective, and she wasn't there. I felt her lack of presence; always do this time of the year. Lord, I miss her so much!

Thank you for your comment, Sandi! I always wonder how people with both parents gone do it?! They call it adult orphans, and it must feel that way.
I understand about your parent(s) being gone how that just makes everything else that much worse. It's the old domino effect.
And bible studies are great! I agree!!!

Bev,
My dad died when I was 23. I didn't know him due to my mother's choice to exclude him from my life.
It's ok, I have questions now but they will go unanswered.
So, I guess I'm a adult orphan too.
Usually, by mid week - I'm nuts.
I cannot stand many things at work or the people I have to deal with at work. Somedays I feel crazed.
I cannot beleive you ventured to the picture places alone. You go for trying. We got pictures one day before Chloe's 1st b-day. It was Dec something right before xmas. OK, quit rushing me. If I have to wait for the dinkie family then the shortie family will wait for me to finish. The 19 year olds are the worse. Wal-mart might be better except they don't use floor props everything is high on a table. They made Chloe cry when she was a baby so I didn't go back for a long time.
How are you doing otherwise? I keep having recurrent nightmares.
I have to see the psych monday and I hate him. I hope this visit goes better. I also will be taking Chloe trick or treating with my friend and her daughter.
Weird thing my friend went to high school with my husband in NY and we all met in NC, what a small world.
