Just that alone will have to give a great sense of peace and calm.<br /><br />So much has happened to the boys and really when we all think back on high school, we all felt like it was the be all end all. They have no other thing to counter balance it against. They will adjust,and in time, I am sure will be as happy. It's hard for them too right now.<br /><br />I am glad to see the relief in you -- may you have many blessings this upcoming year.<br />~DebraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-75152985166533316962009-11-30T13:26:41.434-08:002009-11-30T13:26:41.434-08:00i hope your sons settle in and start treating you ...i hope your sons settle in and start treating you with respect. the decisions you made were not solely for yourself but also for their safety and well being. maybe one day they will realize how hard it was for you, how scared you were.<br /><br />you are blessed that your stay in the "basement" as you call it was brief. even though your Christmas might be lean compared with the dreams you all have, you all have a new start to look forward to and a life situation that seems like it will improve as the weeks move along.<br /><br />congratulations and peace.abandonedsoulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020499806998154330noreply@blogger.com
