I'm sure all will be well. Seems to be a testament to at least your father that those ex's want to attend the funeral:-)

So true..

Brother and I tried to work out how much of North Texas infrastructure contained compentents that Dad's construction company built. We started close to the original homestead and moved outward. He did a lot of work at Carswell AFB (Now, NAS/JRB, Ft. Worth).

He did a lot of the water and sewage treatment plants in Lake Worth, Lakeside, Ft. Worth, Aubry, White Settlement, Sache, Rowlett, Azle, Benbrook, Possum Kingdom, Lake Proctor.... and the list goes on and on. Dad was a builder of infrastructure. His work will go un-noticed by most, but it affects so many lives. I pray that I can live up to the standard that he set.

Dear Fellow Mommies,

I just stopped by girchild's place to drop something off. She looked.....down. So I asked her if she was okay. She sort of shrugged and said "rough day." I asked her if she wanted to talk about it; she said "It won't do any good to whine." I said, no, but sometimes it helps to "spill". She just sort of shrugged again and shook her head. So I left.

I think her therapist doesn't want her "dumping" on me all the time the way she used to.......but sheesh, it's hard not knowing what the trouble is..........but OTOH she is entitled to her privacy and if she doesn't want to talk I have to respect that.......OTOH.........oh sheesh.......grapple, grapple........

Was I right in not pressing her further? Was SHE right in wanting to deal with whatever it is on her own??Am I an idiot for even letting things like this bother me???
