Thank You Loraine.
This really means so much to me. Today was a good day in my home.
We were all together around the kitchen island just talking and laughing. I cooked and we all sat down and spent a good hour at the dining table just
our family. Something came up in our conversations about "mom's returning to her old self again, I thought it would never happen!"
My husband smiled and said "yes mommy is almost back but I know it will not be easy" It's very true and yes it has affected my marriage and my relationship with mydaughters. Things are looking very positive. I do need to step back a little.
Tomorrow is Cookie's 6th birthday. I dont know how I will be but I will make the best of it.
I found a cute little wooden trinket box at the Dollar Tree and it caught my attention when I read the writing on the lid. It has gold letters saying:
HOPE
Give My Spirit Peace Within
Let Each Day With Hope Begin
I put it next to my nightstand and Cookie's little collar and tags are in it.
Happy 6th Birthday My love, my heart and joy. I feel it in my heart that you are being cared for. I know you know how much mommy loves you and holding you tight in my heart.
Below are some pictures from his 3rd Birthday

I would hate to have this affect your marriage and family and, though I hate to say it, maybe you should listen to your husband. (maybe back off just a little from the search). I have read of couples who have had problems with their children or other family members and it tore the couples apart because of it. I know how Cookie is part of your family just as Brady is ours and though I am offering this advice I don't know if I could take it myself. The night back in Dec. that I thought my husband had opened the door and Brady ran out I was so upset with him (my husband) that I told him to be prepared to move if Brady didn't turn up. Something like this can very easily destroy a marriage. Please let me know if there is something I can do or a lead I can follow to take some of the burden off your shoulders so you can get back a little of the normallacy (spelling?) in your home. Every time I see someone walking a Yorkie outside of our development my heart skips a beat thinking "could that be Cookie"? My prayers are there for you continuously. Lorraine and Brady |
