And I...So sorry about your family situation, Stacy. And I don't know if it makes you feel better, but most all families have something like that. I have an issue with a sister, and as hard as it is, I had to let it go and just realize that I can love her but not have her a part of my daily life. It is just too toxic. Anyway, thanks for your honesty.

It is really heartbreaking and so hard for a parent to go through. I was very close to that daughter for a number of years and was even in the delivery room with her, at her request, when my oldest granddaughter was born. I feel like I lost a good friend and a daughter. I pray about it every day, but have given it to God for now. Sorry for the long comment, but you struck a chord. I am so glad that you are finding the positive even in daily challenges. That is so terrible about your husband's truck. I hope security cameras can shed some light on what happened. Hope you have a good weekend. I will be back to visit again soon.

Hopefully peace will be made in the future. Good to focus on the positive. Cute pictures of your grands. They lift our spirits for sure! I am glad your daughter is okay.

I know most families have similar things going on. My mom & brother havent spoken since April. From being someone 'in the middle' - I hate it.

That must be terribly hard. My husband has 2 daughters from his first marriage and one of them, hasn't had any relationship with him for 20 years. She's just written him totally out of her life and that of her younger sister as well. All we can do is pray.

I will definitely keep him (and you and your hubby) in my prayers that at some point soon your relationship can be healed. Life is too short for these kinds of hurts to continue. Your son is missing out on a lot by not communicating and being with you. So I will be praying for all of you. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above ALL we could ask or think. (Eph. 3:20) Also sorry to hear about the attempted break in of the truck. Glad they were unsuccessful, but it is still such a pain to have to go through all that. Love the pictures of the grand kids! What joy they must be!! And I do hope we can see pictures of the unicorn girl and the dinosaur boy! Such fun to have little ones to brighten your day. I really miss having that. Praise God for the cyst! That is good news! Love your new format that is more personal and from your heart. (((hugs))) God is able!!!! Don't give up!Pamela M.
