PS- I consider you guys my 'other significant people' as well. We depend on each other to survive, and not merely survivors even... to be overcomers, and life giving to others.
Hi all, I'm back home today :) It's good that we have our children, grandchildren, and/or other significant people as motivation to press on. For myself, through this last year I was happiest with my g-kids last month. Being with them brought me such bliss. Right now I feel like I am still just carrying on for others and not myself. Their needing me is what keeps me going. At least till I get my 'land legs' back and be able to stand on my own again. And like Donna, I feel strongly that we are their role models in overcoming life's hardships, and we have a responsibility to be that. I’m grateful for the people in our lives who serve as anchors until such time as we get our bearings.

Comment by Carin~ Cody's Mom on April 1, 2012 at 8:18am My older son woke us up out of bed two nights ago crying and screaming in the phone. My heart just stopped.
He asked me if I was awake of course I said yes I am. He instructed me to wake my husband and put him on speaker phone. All a while still crying.
Well... Cries of JOY! He proposed to his girlfriend of 7 years and said I had to be the first to know that joy and happieness will be back in our lives.
I am so proud of my son and love them both dearly. Cody would have been so excited and happy for them both. He knew his girlfriend like a sister.

So glad you had a good day! I had a good day with family today too. It's nice to think of something else every once in awhile, isn't it?

I miss so dearly. But i know he would of want me to continue life and watch over his kids, which i do proudly. :) My daughters r very much involve on how im doing, that i just finished playing Zumba Fitness with them. lol And Wow it was fun, I let out alot of fustration, which was kind of good. Talk about sweating... lol. i enjoyed the time i have with my daughters, they do try to cheer me up. and it work today! I know they will be looking for me tom, lol. I guess working out is letting some tension and stress out. I know my brother was looking down at me and laughing his ass off. :) Have a bless nite and i will have everyone in my prayers tonite. :)
