Cinders, Holidays always tend to bring us down just a bit...remembering what we once had and what we have today. I wouldn't trade where I am today with any of the mlcers. Why? Because I know that we all have faced the fire of pain and have come out the other side. We know what it is to feel the pain and learn the lessons. They haven't yet begun to learn anything about life the way we have.
So, Cinders, tomorrow will be a better day. As for the photo, chalk it up to sucking up to the ow's parents. I wouldn't let that get me down one bit. You've got the best part of him... right there in front of you...your children.
I'm sorry you are down a bit, but I don't think you'll be down for very long. Enjoy the rest of the holiday w/your family and friends. Hugs!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
