Here's hoping you all have an enjoyable weekend....let's try and remember kindly and fondly the one's we lost to this terrible disease...
I will remember with love my husband, I try and let all the garbage where it belongs. I have noticed even my son has left the garbage behind....and finally speaks of his dad with love....
My heart still breaks, but I just look around and see what we: him and I created together and it makes me smile....I have a beautiful daughter, beautiful grand child whom I adore she is so precious......and a hard headed but wonderful son....
So to the memory of Chuck my husband I can smile this weekend.....as I know he's smiling down on me...
Here's to your Chuck and my beloved Tim. I like to think that are sharing a cup of coffee (or in Tim's case: Diet Coke) and swapping stories about us girls. I know they are looking down and smiling fondly of us. Much love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Love ya, Andrea
WOW, Andrea, what an inspiring post....the male parent?? Well?? I can give up the hate and resentment......my mom??? she died from alcoholism and yea, there is some good I can remember about her and I choose that now...To remember our fun bike rides together....Towards the end of her life, the last 2 years, she felt so much sorrow and remourse for letting him hurt me so bad and in her own way, she tried to make amends.....I accepted those amends, for which I am grateful...i was the last kid to talk with her b4 she passed away....She told me something I'll never forget...I can quote it..It was so beautiful..
"I cannot figure out HOW you turned out sooo good with all the evil that was thrown at you...I am proud of you...Mommie loves you with all her heart...Know that I love you"...
.I kinda feel warm and mushy right now, sharing this, but that was what she said...We hung up and she was gone the next AM......
So I say unto my mother----- "Mom, I forgive you as you were his victim too..How could you save me when you couldn't even save your own life....I am not mad at you anymore.....I know you loved me as best as you could, under the circumstances...I am OK...I will always be OK....I learned a lot of good stuff from you...I shall remember the good and leave the bad...your daughter Rosie"
