You're very fortunate to have such a good relationship with your daughters. As mothers, we all do our best, don't we, even if "our best" seems to fall short. But we all have to experience our own rough spots in life.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979114933441527890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-27187390267873398522007-09-03T09:00:00.000-07:002007-09-03T09:00:00.000-07:00Welcome back to the blogging world, Wanda.

Franny cooked dinner for my family tonight. One of her best friends from Chicago lives only 10 minutes away from me. She's a blast. So my family had a real treat tonight.<BR/> If you email me your email address I'll gladly send you a picture of us. carolannguzik@mac.com<BR/> Please keep Enid (belizegial) in your prayers this week. It seems Hurricane Felix is barreling straight for her tiny country at a level 5. That storm jumped from a small 2 to a 5 in a few hours. That is just crazy. They are anticipating a Wednesday direct hit. She and her family are heading for higher ground. Her city is below sea level. I hope it drops at the last second. Just a tiny fraction is all it takes to completely miss them. Hurricane Andrew was a level 5 when it hit Miami. It dropped just a fraction of a milibar or something at the last second and missed my house. We didn't get the core. Lots of damage for sure. But it hit a much less populated area than down town Miami. Huge difference.<BR/><BR/>Have an awesome weekend.<BR/>Carolbeachgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775742895485590774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-19907724131373662992007-09-02T17:37:00.000-07:002007-09-02T17:37:00.000-07:00Oh how lovely is that....I know what you mean abou...Oh how lovely is that....I know what you mean about letting your children grow on their own...there have been many times I have wanted to step up to the plate for my girls but...by allowing them to do it for themselves the grow...and that as a parent is the best gift we could give them....Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-65247963967801094212007-09-02T16:51:00.000-07:002007-09-02T16:51:00.000-07:00What beautiful words you wrote.

I've dealt with this very issue this past year. We never stop being Mothers, do we?someone elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524255841655400982noreply@blogger.com
