You had me enraptured---please update on your dad's health. I will keep him and your mom in my prayers. I have passed kidney stones, and it was more pain than having my baby boy. Really. Hug your mom for me, please. Cheers, Carolee Lauren,

]]> Comment on I’m Always In Trouble! by Aunt Joan http://laurengoddard.wordpress.com/im-always-in-trouble/#comment-666 Aunt Joan Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:43:01 +0000 http://laurengoddard.wordpress.com/im-always-in-trouble/#comment-666 Lauren, you are a sweetheart to say those things about your parents! They must be proud of you and your accomplishments. Yes, it's good not only to tell them NOW but to show them how much you appreciate and love them. Just a little flashback, okay? When I was a young thing, I couldn't wait to be all grown up and on my own; I really had some BIG dreams. But it seemed like forever before I turned 20; then time started slipping by ever so quickly--college, marriage, children, jobs, jobs, jobs, and more jobs (responsibilities as wife, mother, homekeeper, and also working outside the home). Then after our four children grew up (yeah, right!) and finally moved out of our home, I endured the "empty nest syndrome." All too soon there were two grandchildren that arrived (off-springs of our youngest son and his wife); and we are so happy and proud of the; then my husband retired; and I was suddenly feeling so OLD. Yes, those years slip away all too quickly. I never imagined how FAST they would fly away! Now my parents, who both turn 87 this year, need our care. I could go on and on . . . and I will say that God in His mercy has gently led and gives us strength and wisdom DAY by DAY to forge ahead. So you are quite right in what you said about your parents. God bless you for your attitude and help you as you make decisions about your future. I'll be praying for you; let us know if there's any way we can help you. (We live here in central Virginia, just outside of Richmond in a town called Midlothian!) Love, Aunt Joan Lauren, you are a sweetheart to say those things about your parents! They must be proud of you and your accomplishments. Yes, it’s good not only to tell them NOW but to show them how much you appreciate and love them.
