Thread: Darlin's Doodles......Continued

Michelle:

I came into your journal because I noticed your name after an absence. I am so terribly sorry about your situation. I am sure that you are getting excellent advice from April. I will just say, grace and peace to you. I will be praying for you.
Peace, Peg

Michelle, I think it is a good idea to pack up Knowles' things. I did the same thing when EXDH decided to go back to TX to "think". Seeing his things in the house was just too unbearable for me. Perhaps, when Knowles returns at the end of the month and he sees his things packed away, maybe he will realize it is decision time soon as you won't be waiting around forever. Hug your little boy a little tighter today.... sure he needs some loving reassurance at this point as well.

My mind is finally slowing down a bit and anticipating/hoping Knowles follows through and brings Elana home in 10 days....we'll see if he's a man of his word.

That being said, I'm starting to eat a bit more. I find myself now comfortably at 245. I wanted to see 240 by her birthday in December, guess that will happen early. While nice to see it, I wish it were under more celebratory reasons.

It's hard to believe 95 lbs. are gone...and soon to be 100. Who would have thought. Even men at work are asking/noticing about my weight loss. While it feels good, it's bittersweet at the moment.

Exercise wise...I'm just not motivated although I desperately see the need to do it as I see the sagging skin with nothing for it to attach to. The time will come soon!

Michelle,
Thinking of you! Sending some good karma your way for good news, kiddo!

WOOHOO for you on the pounds down! I'm so proud of you! You are truly an inspiration! Above all...keep yourself healthy

(((hugs)))

Michelle......... I am at a loss for words to comfort you at this point. Just know I have been there before in life as you are now and know there is truly no peace until a resolution is at hand. Please take care of yourself........ that is truly most important that you do..... Everything else will fall in place for I have come to know that you are indeed a very strong and intelligent woman. Take comfort in knowing you have many people in life that are watching for your posts and their hearts are broken for you and what you are going through. We are here......

Michelle,
Thinking of you. If I may ask, any word on when sweet little Elana will be home?
You are in my thoughts and prayers for a quick and happy ending to your sad times.

(((hugs)))

Shelley

Thanks for checking in on me Shelley!!

As for news on her return....Knowles is supposed to be emailing me when he books a flight, supposedly for next weekend (28-31st). However, I haven't heard a word as of yet. My mother talked to him last night and gets the impression he will follow through. Guess I'm just anxious.

I did go today to see if I could get Coordinated Childcare and I did qualify...so that will help as the parent fee is only $24 a week vs. $140-150. Now I just have to find a place for her that has an opening and that I like. Most likely, will be an in-home type setting.

As soon as I know something about when she'll be home...I'll let ya'll know. And as always, thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts in such a trying time!

Thank you so much Rob, means a lot...and I hope your intuition is on target!

Thoughts and prayers from jsut a bit south of that in NC too! take good care of you Michelle!

Michelle, the candle is STILL burning for you and Elana. Keeping you in my prayers each night. Hang in there......... the end of the tunnel is there.... you just have to see the light!

Ditto Rhonda's message. Thinking of you Michelle.

My thoughts and prayers for everything to work out the best for you and Elana. I haven't been here lately, but hope to hear good news from you soon.

Thanks ladies!!

I just received in my email a copy of his flight iternary....she'll be home 6:30pm on Sunday!

I was also fortunate enough to find a WONDERFUL little Jamacian older couple who are going to be her childcare providers starting Monday!!

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us...the road is finally becoming bearable.

Michelle, just want you to know that I think of you and check in on you daily. Been down the road you are traveling before and each person you can find along the way that will be your friend are invaluable assets. Glad you have the confirmation of Elana coming home....... now....... compose yourself and be the strongest person you can be for that meeting....... if you cannot.... then you must pretend as if you are. I wish you much luck.... hang in there GF..... it just takes more strength than you ever knew you could have........ but I am confident you will come up with it, as I have seen you do so before!
