Scotty

[cherie]

Well we had some news a bit earlier this evening.  Debbie's husband, well his leave did not get approved for them to come get Scotty come June.  So it has been moved up to this weekend, which is also my birthday weekend and Jaun and mines 2 year anniversary or marriage (even though we have been together for 9 years).  In a way this is good new since I have many projects going and my saw has been running at top speed along with the bandsaw, planer and drill press.  So the workshop is full of saw dust and pieces of wood everywhere.  But in another sense it will be an emotional weekend with him leaving since we were not ready for it yet.  It is bad enough Jaun told me that he would not be able to make it in let alone see Scotty before he leaves.  I just hope I do not end up in such an emotional state like I did last time the kids were here for 2 years!  I was so ready for them to leave, but when it came right done to it, I just sat around the house doing nothing and listening to nothing.  Took me over a month to get back to making things.
Anyways, I just wanted to let ya's know.

Well, Cherie - these are times in our lives when we learn to appreciate every single day.  You have made some wonderful memories with Scotty and I am sure he will also remember them his entire life.  While it is very painful right now, you have some great and positive things to focus on.  Fate is funny that way.  Make the best of the days you have with him and then (after a good cry!) focus on all the joy you bring so many others with your beautiful woodworking.  Keep looking on the GOOD side of things and you will find yourself happier and more productive than ever.  Part of loving others is to let go sometimes.  (((HUGS)))  Sheila

Keep yourself busy and remember the good times and all the fun you had together.

Listen to Sheila! She is the most 'positive' person I have never met!!!

I have never had a situation so bad that it did not have SOME positive repercussions. I often couldn't see them at the time but they were there and eventually came into view....

See you in July, Kid!

Cherie I don't know your situation, so all I will say is listen to Sheila the lady as wisdom.  And please except these hugs from me.  ((((HUGS))))  ((((HUGS))))

so true!
Carrie, you can be proud of what you made him to be, he's grown up quite some and - at least what you let us know - a good boy.
Now it seems to be time to let him show what he has learn while he was with you.

I hate and love it at the same time when our kids are making another step forward:
I love it because the little ones are making a great impression and are doing so well.
I hate it because it feels each time like they need me a little bit less while it also feels like yesterday when they were babies and I had to take care of them.
