Hi all. <BR>I am grateful for...<P>1. My husband who is trying so hard and working so hard to support this family.<P>2. That God is there for me and has blessed me with this second chance at my marriage.<P>3. My 14 year old daughter was sick this week and has wanted to cuddle with Momma. That she got scared at a very strong thunderstorm last night and came down and asked to crawl into bed with me. Ahh it was so nice to have my little girl back if even for a short while.<P>4. That my schizophrenic 18 year old daughter seems to be stable during this unplanned pregnancy of hers and is not on her anti psychotic drugs. <P>5. That my son gave me $100.00 of the $500.00 I owe the phone company for his cell phone bill. Now I can pay part of the bill off.<P><p>[This message has been edited by Samantha-MI (edited September 29, 1999).]

I am grateful:<P>That my H has forgiven me (sincerely) for what I've done to him. I betrayed him 4 1/2 months ago. He is my hero and I am falling back in love with him!! Still can't believe it. Amazing. He followed all the MB rules (only a little LB) and it works! I don't know if I can explain that clearly, but recently it was our wedding anniversary and he gave me a beautiful gift. I didn't have the words to explain how I felt. I really didn't deserve it at all. I felt like if H and OM were on the top of a building and my H was pushing OM off of it. H was the winner of my heart! I really hope I am not making this sounds as if I have no regrets or remorse. Like H, I've been through hell all summer...but seems like our marriage will be sooooo much better now. His forgiveness is amazing. He even said that the pain was gone. It feels so good to share the good things!<P><p>[This message has been edited by vy_vy (edited October 06, 1999).]
