Remember that calm before the storm I told you all about...Things were just going a little too good...

It's not J, it's not the boys, at least directly not the boys, and unfortunately for reasons I can't even explain, I can't talk about what's going on, but that short lived calm is now gone again for a while. I'm worried about it effecting the boys and effecting my life as well.

This morning, while the calm was still here, I watched my son do an excellent job in the swim meet. He has been through so much, yet managed to get his life so together. He had so much stress last year that it really messed up his stomach. He started eating very healthy, working out, and now he's just a very different teen. His swimming relay team today broke records and won first in two races, individually even though he hasn't swam in two years he medaled in the breast, coming in 8th, and almost medaled by just 3/10th of second and 2/10ths of second in other strokes. I was so proud of him.

Just pray for me and my family. I am so close to tears but I know I need to just keep it together for my boys. I feel like I am their main support and their main stability right now.

Thanks NB, just got a phone call and one thing just improved, we are not out of the woods but your prayer must be helping!

BTW, it's good to see!

Thanks guys. My situation is getting better. I appreciate all the prayers. I will know more as time goes by. I appreciate the trust in you all to know I am not trying to be a drama queen here. Sometimes we need prayers but just can't say why. Thanks again, Anna
