"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~Albert Schweitzer
Steve has informed me that I can not live in Tortola forever (unless I win the lottery) so I am making the adjustment back to life in Perrysburg. Some is good and some is not so good. I spent yesterday with AJ and we had a blast at the park. He is just plain fun to be with. Of course the down side is that I wish John could be here to see how much fun AJ is at this age. I wish he was here to feel the pride of being a parent.
Thinking about Sunday being Mothers Day was also a great big dose of reality. Fortunately Sunday is also my mom's birthday. So I think that is what we will celebrate. Mom and Dad just got back to Michigan from Florida but they have graciously agreed to be here with us for the weekend. And Mike is always excited to celebrate Mothers Day so I will put a smile on my face and enjoy the fact that I am indeed a Mother. It just has a little different feel this year.

You sound very brave - every holiday this year will no doubt feel different. I do know you were the perfect Mom for John and his years here. I feel confindent he will be celebrating you magnificently from his vantage point!
AJ is at such a fun age - it seems like everyday little ones discover or can do something new. So glad you are enjoying your time with him.
I will continue to keep you tight in my prayers as you continue to move forward through this delicate mine field of good and fun, sweet and heartwarming, and difficult and sorrowful.I applaud your strength and for sharing your wisdom.
Loving you!
I can't imagine how you feel, but I do know you are an excellent Mother. John would not have been as strong without you-nor as loving. AJ is such a nice piece of John to have and to hold close. Your other two children are so special too. As difficult as it will be I hope you have the strength to realize what a special Mother you are and to celebrate your successes. You are loved and treasured by many. Happy Mothers Day my friend.
