Don’t Worry!

My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes;

most of which never happened.

I have been through some terrible things in my life,

some of which actually happened.

🙂 Good News! 🙂

Robert has undergone a new treatment and is doing well enough that his surgery was cancelled. Yay! The doctor said he could reschedule the surgery if symptoms recur.

My son’s rent had nearly doubled in the last two years and is going up again. There was very little available in Florida that he could afford. He was approved for an apartment, and he and his service dog, BABY will be moving in August to Louisiana, where rents are more affordable. I had hoped that he would be able to live near me, but it is good that where he is moving is within a couple of hours of his sisters. My son will be stopping by for a few days on his way to his new home. I will be happy to spend a little time with him.

❤ Thank You! ❤

A heartfelt thank you to all of my fellow bloggers for your concern and support during this difficult time. Robert and I will always remember your kindness.

    P.S. those first two quotes, especially together, are amazing.

  21. I’m glad to hear that your son will be also be moving to an area where there is already a family support system nearby. Even if you can’t be near physically, by extension you still are. And oh fantastic about your husband’s good news!

  28. I’m very happy that things are going well for you and your family. Seems like I continue to need reminders that things do work out. Thanks for the great quotes! Enjoy your visit with your son. I’m glad he will be close to family. With internet and cell phones, the world is smaller than it used to be.
