DianeP. Thank YOU!

I really needed those words of encouragement especially today. It is the 10th anniversay of my mothers death today, and then to hear all this confussion about dh and work....I can't even bear the thought of having to move and loose the dream I have here....I also talked with my godmother who actually lives in CA and she told me, that no matter how much she wants me around her, and how much I want to be near her, that CA has nothing to offer me anymore....which sounds so cold, but it is exactally what I, myself needed to hear...that She loves me and my family enough to know that we need and to have the guts to tell us that we should stay put,and fight the good fight.....DH was so grateful that my mood was better this evening, and we took the kids to Pizza Hut for a free pizza that ds had won and dh bought dd and myself and himself too a pizza too. it was nice and we talked about how we can survive here even if his business fails....we can both get other jobs, but the main concern is that we will have each other...and I know in my heart his business WON'T fail, because he is so good at his job, and he has the will to do this, it just takes time......anyway

thanks again Diane....sorry to ramble.

Somewhere I missed the posts on your concerns about the future. I agree,stay put and be happy. Dh and I won't have jobs either by the time he retires, but we don't care. We know where we want to live and we are both employable people. Im sure if everything else fails (which I doubt it will), there are always jobs out there as long as you are as happy as you are in your house.

Is dh still in the photography business?

I know you must miss your Mom terribly, but she is only a prayer away. She is watching over you and Im sure she is really proud of you!!

Renee....just wanted to say that I have been thinking of you all day....days like these can be hard - even with time.

May your mom live forever in your heart.

Also wanted to say.....I think I can honestly feel what you are feeling about dh and a job. My dh has been at home since fall and has been working on getting his own business going. Needless to say we are far from rich....heck I'm just happy that we can still cover the monthly bills. It is hard when money is an issue in everything you think about.....hang in there and give me a shout whenever you need to talk!

Hang in there sweetie! Anniversaries are always hard, especially when everything else is so up in the air. Remember though..it's the PEOPLE not the place that make your family.

Renee - So sorry you are going through difficult times. :( Anniversaries are so hard when you have lost someone so dear. Hang in there and remember we are always here for you!! {{{hugs}}}

[Diane]

Gee... I didn't think I had said anything that inspiring... LOL Your so welcome!!! :) Things happen for a reason... and you weren't put in where you are for no reason! LOL I remember a LONG time ago when dh lost his job with an insurance company that had belonged to for a long long time... I wasn't working and had been a SAHM for 2 years... We were devistated and didn't have a clue what we were going to do. We prayed a LOT! (if you believe in the power of prayer) :) That's when the neighbor lady suddenly showed up at my front door asking me if I'd consider take over doing day care for her little dd because her regular provider had to have a sudden surgery. Well, that's when I decided to open up my own day care... but it was my intention to only do it for a little while, until dh could get another job. Well... what we "thought" was an awful situaiton made our lives SO much better. We never would have thought so at the time, but we have been SO blessed by the changes that took place in our lives. Things have a way of working themselves out. No matter WHAT happens... whether your dh decides to stay in the business he's in or if he decides to try his talents doing something else... his ambition and determination will make him a success in whatever he decides to do. With his families love and support... how can he go wrong??? I'll get off my soapbox... LOL I hate it when I get guschie... sorry!!!

I can only imagine how much you must miss your mom Renee... but I agree with Amy/Co... She is watching over you and I have no doubts that she is very proud of what/who you have become. You may not physically HAVE your mom... but you'll always have her in your heart. All of your wonderful memories of her can never be taken away from you... and I'm sure that there are so MANY great things to remember. She is always with you Renee... don't ever forget that! :) You take care, okay??? {{{{{Hugs to you}}}}}

Diane...

you guys are the greatest...thanks for making my day...your right she is always with me...I just miss her so.....thanks for being so kind with me...it's terrible being a wet rag on days like today.... :lol:

Sorry to hear you were feeling low. The anniversary of the loss of a loved one is always difficult. I lost my father when I was quite young and still miss him as much today (almost 20 years later) as when it first happened. I just try to remember the good times as refect on how he lives on in me and my children.
Family is always the best support, just rely on them and they will help you through.
Hope your feeling a bit better now. :angel: {{{HUG}}}
