Hello:) Cathleen! Glad to hear from you...glad that things are going with you and the boys...somethimes we have to stand our ground...I had to put Dianne out twice...she, and I have had our differences.. and so, now when they make their mistakes...or what ever..they'll have to do the best that they can... I love both of my girls and I would even die for them...but, I won't be ran over by them or disrepected by them in my own home...they, don't want me giving advice...so, I don't...but, on the other hand when they want to do as they please...they need not come crying on my shoulder...needing me and thier dad to bail them out... Since I was sick that time...my nerves and my diabetic condition won't let me go thru anymore...when Ramona was here and we had our big disagreement...and I only wanted to talk to her and find out what was going on and she informed me in no uncertain terms..that she was over 21 and didn't have to listen to me...I came home from work one night and Wilbur was so upset that I was afraid that he was going to have a heart attack...he has high blood pressure as it is...and then my sugar went sky high....and they didn't even care that they had hurt Wilbur or me real bad...so, now I don't ask any questions and I don't want to hear any complaints from them... When you do all you can do for your children and then in your on home they show you just how much that they appreciate what you have done for them...I'm thru and so is Wilbur... I can't take the worry anymore...If Wilbur and I don't take care of ourselves, there is no one else to do it for us...We've have done more for our girls than my parents have ever done for me... The last time Dianne came here for help I helped and then she started a fight with me..and I know that my blood sugar went thru the roof then...at least she apoligized that time...but, Ramona, has yet to say I'm sorry Momma...so, until...she can say I'm sorry...I don't see how she can expect her Uncle William to say I'm sorry...and it still hurts..although, we get along ...I don't know if I'll ever get over how Ramona talked to me that day...I would never have thought that she would have hurt me and her dad so bad...but, I guess that's all under the bridge...I love them...but, sometimes I would love for my fam...to be able to tell the other member that they are sorry... After all it's really to late when someone is lying in their casket.... I want to get along with my girls...but, I would like for them to call and see how we're doing and to remember our Mothers Day & Fathers Day...or our BirthDays...just to call and say HappyBirthday or Happy Father's Day,,or Mother's Day...I don't think that I am asking for to much...but, I guess they'll never change...and I guess I' need not to expect it from them... I'm glad that Brad and Valree are married...I truly hope that they will be happy and content with each other...and that my great nephew is doing fine... I haven't forgotten the pic...I promise that I'm going to get them to you soon..,.. Well, guess I'll go for now...and please don't tell the girls anything that I write to you...PLEASE.. Give the baby a kiss and hug for me...No, I didn't know abt. Williams surgery...maybe he'll quit smoking now... Well, I'll go for now..take care and We Love You....:) God Bless & Keep You!
