not Catholic but we got the same God.Prayers, in Christ’s name.
Prayers to you, sweet lady and to King Vanity on his final journey.
You and KV are in my prayers.
OP! This is the *other* OP. But, you knew that. I never got used to this new name of yours.
Long ago and many “true crimes” between us, you know how I used to read at FR, never daring to join up. I didn’t know then what the story was on OceanPerch and her “cantankerous husband,” as I thought KV was.
I’d laugh and laugh about your “fights” with King Vanity and just loved his nickname. I thought he must be the laziest, most good-for-nothing layabout husband anyone ever had and I would think “why doesn’t that nice lady leave him?”
Honestly, I wondered it for years. And it’s to your credit, of course, that I never had an inkling of the real story until I came to FR and then we both started “talking” elsewhere during sabbatical.
I was blown away at what you had both been through - and what a magnificent human being King Vanity really is - not to mention his mother! I told you about my long-mistaken imaginings and you laughed.
I’ve prayed and prayed for you. And sometimes cried for you. Always envious of your “buppies,” tho, since I am without, and of your amazing and incredible strength. Never in a million years could I have done what you’ve done so well and so admirably. Makes my little penny-ante problems seem like nothing.
So, the boy is tired, Mom - “tired, I tell ya.” Then it’s time to lie down in green pastures, beside the still waters. Let the table be prepared before you both, for your cup continues to runneth over.
Much love and {{{hugggsss}}} to you, OP and KV!
Long live the King!
God Bless you both.
Prayers for you and your beloved son.
May God bless both of you! From what I’ve learned of you and your son from our conversations on FR, you both are saints and both deserve a much needed rest. My prayers are with you.
Prayers for you and King Vanity, Global2010.
You both will be in my thoughts & prayers. May the Lord surround his loving arms around you and bring you peace, comfort & strength during this time.
Yes, Jesus the Lord.
Been another on feet all day but he was in some time of getting normal breathing when his Dad of the long lost called to tell him all the half sisters and brothers he saw pic of but never met were ok and living good lives.

He as a kidder changed his side kick name from King Vanity (teen name givenby a good Priest chastizing him) to now...
P. Chanzee Dyper (dawg) lol u have to give it the hip dumb hop and he hates that stuff but in humour with all the lines running n the need is every 30 oz minute pun again.
He really loves listening to Amazing Grace and other historical tunes...chants and such..
Thank You.
Hope for rest.
Continue work.
And keep faith, love and Prayer life.
Your son sounds so much like a man my husband was a caregiver for a long time ago. He had MS and had the same type of personality as your son.
Hence this thread should be a wonderful lifting to all in the shoes and the enjoyment of life even on the ruff dayz.
There are a whole lot of Freepers who share this moment.
Freepers that have lived this life.
Ode to all who have or may be starting out as careproviders.
God Bless.
God bless you and yours
Global - you are one of those few with a heart of pure gold.
Prayers up to you and KV.
God bless you and your son, King Vanity.
What’s that you say? *Dapper Dawg*? Fo’shizzle.
He’s just getting suited up for interplanetary space travel, like all the best astronauts, but *better.*
