Diane - I'll be thinking of you. I know how disappointing it is to take a step back just when you begin feeling good about moving forward. Let's hope that this one is temporary. But I'm so sorry that this happened. I am VERY glad that you had such good help. You definitely have my prayers. Just wish that I could do more.

I can see why you are proud of your granddaughter. Those kid of things can be so overwhelming and even the strongest of us sometimes fold under that sort of pressure. Learning to cook seems the least of her issues. And I'm so glad that her children are getting what they need.

Carrie - you've been through the mill, haven't you? What an horrible time that must have been for your family to face losing you. Emma and Nancy are so full of personality. They just seem to jump off the page in those photos. They must have big spirits.

And, yes. I will be exhausted when Max leaves. Luckily Marty will entertain him most of the time and Celeste gets along really well with him. I like having him here when his parents aren't here (LOL) He learns our rules very well but my kids sometimes resent the structure in our house. It's not that bad. It's just that we are the grownups and expect to be treated that way. They don't mind it at all. Although Celeste hates it when I make her do her schoolwork - but that's just natural I guess.

It is such a privelege to have them on their own. It makes for really nice relationships with them.

This is Sonja, my daughter, with Celeste, who is her niece (Gretchen's daughter). She is a psychologist and is 37.
