Agree with it all.

BTW, your information on your husband really hit home here. I have a 27 yr old brother who is diabetic and takes questionable care of himself. We lost our diabetic cousin when he wass 29 back in '96, so sometimes we all feel like the clock is ticking. Lately his "reactions" have got so bad that he went into convulsions and fell and broke a chair. This is scary stuff and we keep wondering when that time will come that someone won't be home to help him. You were wise to look forward. I did much the same thing, but in the way of life insurance. My husband is not unhealthy, but he does have a family history of men with circulation problems and he's now in his 40's(his dad passed in his mid or late 50's) I sure hope he's the exception that lives into his 80's(God knows my children adore him and it would break their hearts if he wasn't around), but we are taking precautions none the less.
If it's ok, I will be praying God brings into your life an amazing man for companionship and some rest from the weary work of parenting. You sound like a wonderful lady Valerie!

Thank you glory - prayers are always welcome. :)
I do hope your brother wakes up to the real dangers of out-of-control diabetes. My husband cheated death countless times before he finally passed away following a failed kidney/pancreas transplant operation at age 42. We did not have life insurance, but we did have his retirement to help us through the first few years.
He has missed out on so much of our sons' lives, and the boys have also missed out on having a strong father to guide them through the difficult teen years. My 13 yr old was 7 when his dad died, and his memories of him are scarce. I do wish for his sake as much as mine that I could marry a good man soon to help with his transition into manhood. He's a good kid who deserves that special attention.
