Did you see all that yummy food that BMW left for me? I'll be as big as the side of a house soon if I keep eating like this!!

Thankyou so much for thinking of me BMW. The food and flowers all look wonderful!

Dang, I thought maybe you were coming for a visit! Darnit!

Chicago is the time zone for all the Michiganders (lots of them around here). Smack dab inbetween the New Englanders (yeahbut, Riverwild, kicker) and us Mountain time zone folks (FlyGirl, Tamiloo, me). The west coast folks are Pacific time.

So I think you picked a good city for your purposes.

I really gotta get to bed! 'Night! (Again!)

Goodnight Twink! Sleep well.

LOL, I guess I am tired! I was sitting on the other page, kept hitting refresh waiting for a responce! LMAO just saw that there was a new page

That's the sort of thing I would do!

How are you feeling tonight?

you know a bit better I think! I reached out to my brothers to let them know what was going on. I have 3 big brothers, 3 sisters. Well I almost didn't send it to my one brother, he has been pulling away for years. I knew he was deeply hurting... but he wouldn't let me in. I hadn't heard from in ohhhh about a 8 months when I had to call and tell him about Dad....

I haven't heard from him since either....but something made me write him too... I love him.. I need him. He wrote me just the most moving letter. I have never felt so loved in all my life!! He is doing better, trying to become whole. I am sooooo relieved! So happy to have my big brother back!!!
There just aren't words!

I'm so pleased for you.

I know just what it's like to be alienated from family. I have ongoing problems with my sister right now and my older brother passed away last month. I only heard about his death "on the grape vine" because some-one read about his death in the newspaper, and notified one of my family members.

I remember that ((Koala)) I am so sorry for that too. I can't imagine

i didn't feel alienated though, he has a very sick child... I knew he was in his own hell, and was doing the best he could to stay afloat. I was so happy for him that he has been working so hard all this time, in trying to be whole again... his words. I never doubted he would be back. But, I still missed him

Thank you. I'm handling it, but my sister isn't from what I hear. I've kept my distance from her since she came out of hospital last week, as I'm not ready to get tangled up in her problems right now. I'm still trying to sort my own out.

I'm so very pleased that you have your brother back!
