Good morning, MMC friends. I want to wish Track's grandmother a belated Happy Birthday. Track, I think we all know how you feel. Enjoy every special moment with her.

I am getting so excited for La Bambina's arrival. I can hardly wait, so I can only imagine how Coach and Dr. Wifey feel! It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood!

Pretty soon I am going to take a break and go buy my son a birthday card for Tuesday. It is so hard to believe that my youngest will be 28 years old! Time sure flies, LOL!

I am going to work a while on packing up more stuff, and then I think I will be like Coach and do some Christmas reading. TTYL

Looks really nice!!!

Hmm, I wonder how big my old high school is. It has the big auditorium, 2 gyms, 2 pools, full automotive shop, full welding shop, Dental assistant training area, Restaurant, Greenhouse, Construction area where they build a new house every year, plus they just put on a new addition with 40 more classrooms and a huge new atheltic training facility by the football field.

Wow, that was/is a big high school. There might have been 35 classrooms in my old school. There aren't as many students in the district now so the powers that be moved grades 1-2 into the middle school and grade 6 into the junior high school (an annex on the high school). Lots of teachers and aides lost their jobs. :(

Thank you my friends for all of the advice and for sharing your experiences with me/us. I truly needed all of this because I was lost in what to do and I had no more answers.

I have been dwelling on the fact that I have spent so long as a parent molding them, teaching thru example, guiding them and helping for them to prepare for the future. For me to be able to do nothing in stopping my son from making one of the biggest mistakes in his life has been eating me up alive on the inside. I have been so upset about this, I was afraid of the stress was going to cause me to have an heart attack or loose my wife.

I need to be supporting her and here I am reacting more to this than she is and I am causing her more stress than what she's already going thru. Awww man, this just plain outright stinks, and I can do nothing about it. If I would to retaliate, it would only make matters worse and I do not want to do that. There is this constant battle going on inside me about what to do and so, I'm going to face reality instead in stead of fighting it, and finially let go.....

I know, it's out of my hands now and it's sad, so sad to loose the little boy that always slept with his Teddy Bear..... I needed to talk to someone and luckily, I had all of you, and all of your experiences. I needed your support on this and I found it; Thank You!

I have saved your advice and comments, so that I can read and re-read them, so that I have somewhere to turn to when the depression sets in again.....

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. {{{HUGS}}}

You have not lost him, he needs your love more than ever. But for now you have to let him go until he is ready to once again accept that.
Keep a journal and write him letters from time to time sharing your heart. Later you might give them to him or keep them private, but either way it is a good outlet for your feelings.
I continue to hold your whole family in my prayers.

Good evening, MMC!

I hope all of you had a wonderful day! Mine was busy. I made a homemade spaghetti sauce with fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil and fresh basil. It was good, but not the sauce I am looking for so I will keep trying recipes. Yesterday I made mint syrup and so today I had a mint soda for dessert. Not like what I used to get at Barnes and Noble, but it wasn't bad. The rest of the evening I am going to read and spend some quality time with Palmer.

MERRY dreams!!!
 
Goodnight, MMC. Laying down for a nap. Back to work tonight I go!
