Dale, I missed your last post, which was full of sadness - this one at least has light. I'm so sorry to hear you've been struggling, and with you being so busy getting to grips with the new job this is not what you needed.
If you're serious about a far-flung job for your daughter, maybe nannying could be an option? I know lots of girls from here travel and hook up with good agencies which privide some basic sensible training and placement services. Just a thought. Mind you, of course it takes money to travel too.
I imagine it's pretty scary these days finishing school and finding yourself expected to function in the adult world. Not making excuses, just thinking aloud. If children would always accept wisdom and love from those who care most about them rather than pushing them away, it would be lovely. Fear and uncertainty get in the way of a lot of good things.
Dale, this is a terrible thing to have happened, and something you could have done without on top of everything else. Is there no way the damage can be repaired and you can return to your beloved home?. Maybe not. Maybe this is an opportunity to move forward, when things get sorted, you will have a new home you can call your own and build new memories and when the dust settles the only remaining memories of the past will be good ones...Let the bad ones float on by like storm clouds on a windy day and the sun will shine through once more.. Your love and strength will get you through this time, I just know it!.. Sending you some big cyber love your way..xx..

Don't ever stop loving, and hoping.
Margie, I am hoping she will have heard everything I have done my best to tell and teach her...
ReplyDeleteI cannot say and do any more.
I went away for a nice weekend with Bobby and Jenny and Gene - I'd just been on the same weekend with Beth.
ReplyDeleteI came back to ten thousand dollars worth of damage to my house and home.
It was called a "party"...
I have not lived or slept in the house since
ReplyDeleteIt smells like a stranger's dump.
It feels like a derelict's dive.
I have packed my bags, belongings and left.
I have nowhere to go - but a good friend has taken me in for now.
My little ones are with their father.
My 50 years of living are now in storage.
And I wheep...
ReplyDeleteim having trouble remembering...

Hi Dale,
ReplyDeleteHow good, though, in all this darkness, that you have a good friend to extend a helping hand. Friends like that are like gold.
All we can here is extend the cyberhand, but we do that in all sincerity to remind you that you're not alone.
Much love sent,
AM
