Hello there, what a story you have.  Welcome to the site.  I accept your friendship, gladly.  That must have been some journey you and your son traveled with your ex. Grandchildren are great little creatures to have around for comfort, education, laughter and.........they are great problem solvers!  Looking forward to conversing back and forth.  (I love your picture, I believe I've traveled this road many times as well as prayed that in some situations I found myself in a road like this would appear) Diana

Hey there,

I am a mother of 4 and grandmother of 8.  I consider myself a divorced widow.  Which means that when my x got sick, I took him in because he had no where else to go and the doctor estimated that he had 5 to 6 years to live.  He was on the button.  Rob passed two almost three years ago.  He died a long painful death with agent orange.  In his final months of life, my son came home and helped me with him.  His committment to his father led to his own healing and was able to see his Dad as a normal size human being instead of the larger than life bully that he remembered growing up.  Anyways, we are getting on with life one day at a time.  I get a chance from time to time to see this show (The Doctors).  I am always entertained by the show and informed on many issues.  Thank you for your hard work.
