Default Hi

Just got in from my daughter -in .law's speech on how the Day care children
have reacted to what they at age 2 reacted to the bombings..Nighmares
after what they saw still..Some can describe seeing the death,can describe
the smells of charred burned skin. And yet others will look at you she
said,like what are you talking about ,what are all these people talking
about??? Like there parents have lost there minds. and ones who
totally do no remember there father who died one floor up. Then the ones
who can't forget the Mother who change there diaper,how can this be
they decribe it like she was still there making them comfy.

I have always been told you are basically your set in your way at 6,but she
we forget many times who was it that raised them,Dad ,Mom,grandparents
foster care. Her book will be out in Oct. on all of this,And to our surprse,
we all found out tonight it will made into a movie..

Amy's parents divoced when she was 3 her brother 4. One week they lived at
dad's and one week at Mon's..That didn't happen so much when we were
kid's,I have tried my best to remenber this i just don't..Amy and her brother
were close,her brother had no problem with his mother ,he has 3 daughters
never has he let them see his father or step mother..Amy loves all of them,
she refuses to let her pass destroy her future..The brother and family
live in Pasdena,Ca. they had a successful business,a beautiful home..He would only say fathers should never leave the mother of there children..
Last year her brother lost there business there home,why the mother of his
3 little curly hair girls, became addicted to cocaine..They tried the family
except his dad to get her help,she refused,he won't leave her.

Well until something can be done for those little girls parents my son and
daughter-in-law took theem to court...The Judge told Amy's brother he was
a enabler and needed help,and he wanted know if he had anything to say.
Yes you have tured me into my father..The mother agree to get help,
so now Ryan and Amy have custody of 3 little confused girls..The brother made threats and is the hospital,I can only pray he will get help and as well
as the girls mom and they can be a father and mom again..Her whole family is here
and the girls met there grandfather,,I just sat and watched the joy and fear
in there eyes...Who did they stay close to,why Bob of course. We live
in a sad world.Bob didn't try to get there love,he just gentle,read to them,
answered there question when he could..They are very excited we are suppose to 8 inch. of snow,it's late,he woke there grandfather up,and Ryan
I went into the living room,and there the were all watching the snow.
There Grandfater,said let's go out and make snow angels for your mom and
dad. Wonderful the fear went out of there eyes...I can only say what a day

And I have 60 people coming to a dinner at a resturant,oh boy 8 inches
of snow..Hope those snow angels work,I made Hot Chocolate and woke
everyone up,they must know lots of people love them,they still have time.
Bob whispered in my ear that was fun,put a little rum in mine I hurt
everywhere...Escuse the mess and hugs to all..I have a older brother
who is a socialpath being with him is like being on a rolercoaster,and
someimes you just have to get off and leave no matter how much it hurts.
Hugs Sue
