Powerful stuff. Overwhelming.
MM,
As one here who reads often but posts only occasionally, I'm so amazed how your story and faith have borne fruit (God willing, literally in 9 or so months). This child, and of course your others, are meant for great things because of the trials your family has endured. God bless them and you for keeping a steady and faithful hand on the helm! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

V/r,
No way

Oh...

I'm crying...

I'm crying..

I can't WAIT to tell the Wookie....

I am SO happy for you both.

SO very happy...


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

I'm just so happy that your family is intact once again. Had to stop reading your posts while all that bad chit was going down....so yeah! ...can start reading them again.

Congrats on the little bundle of joy...to both of you!

No Way,

I had to comment on what you wrote because this is a very good word picture of what I feel like right now.

It is like being at sea for a long time, through some massive hurricanes that very rarely let up. And all of a sudden one day, you wake up and go up on deck...and the sea is calm and the sun is out. And shortly thereafter, you see land.

And while exhausted from the trip...a sense of relief overcomes you, where you can finally just sit down and relax.

It reminds me of the disciples in the boat with Jesus. Here they had Him in the boat with them, but when the storm started, they began to panic. And Jesus was sleeping in the back of the boat. Men of little faith at the time.

Anyway...just some thoughts!

MM~

Though I don't believe I've ever posted to you, I have followed your story from time to time. When I was opening this thread I was hoping to hear you and your W were in recovery. WOW, am I behind the times around here!

I'm happy to hear you're not only on the recovery road, but will be adding another precious life to your family.

Tell your W there's lots of older moms of younger kids out there these days. And if it will make her feel better~~ I'll be nearly 60 when my youngest graduates HS. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> It's all good though, and I guarantee this child will be such a joy to you both. If my OC brought my H and me together, imagine what this joyous, wanted, and blessed event will do for you & your W! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Btw, you have a fabulous attitude.
