That has always impressed me so much about you.<br /><br />Sorry I have been a lousy bloggy friend lately. I aim to do better. Thanks for always stopping by and having sweet things to say. You did send a little Roots sweatjacket - it was so soft and sweet and we wore it often. I kept it for her box. I always think of you when I see it. :0)JuliaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668995954240697998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-79321019580381327162009-05-12T19:01:00.000-04:002009-05-12T19:01:00.000-04:00I thought about you quite a bit on Mother's Day.

I am glad they gave you the flowers, it is appalling to me that they would have left you out, just appalling.<br />I hope the coming days bring relief from the itching and from the crap you just got served.<br />You deserve much better.

I wish i could say something to fix it & to help others be more understanding. People can be so cruel, even when they don't realize they are. <br /><br />I wish God would surprise you, even at this time when you are accepting, with the gift of motherhood for you. I'm older than you are & still hold on to hope, but that is quickly fading & i need to reach a point of acceptance. <br /><br />I wish i could give you a hug. :)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.com
