Hi Carole, I sent you a message on facebook but thought I would check in with you here also. My Grandson had his cast off while I was in California. He has been practicing with his baseball team (the same kids from last season). His first game is this coming Tuesday. My trip to California was good for the most part. It was good to see my Aunt and Uncle who are in their 90’s and in ailing health. My Mom’s last sibling. I think it was important for her to spend time with her sister. I had a few light bulb moments. My Mom had a extreme meltdown with me and tried to slap me in the face. I still have no clue what was wrong with her. I stopped her and put her in her place. She has done this with other family members too, and it’s not because she is getting old and losing her mind. I realized a lot of her traits my sister and I possess. Not the physical abuse issue, thank God! I am working on myself as I think we always have things to work on. I don’t want to be like her. I am moving in the area where she lives next year with my oldest Daughter and Grandson. I have told her if she continues to behave the way she does and thinks that nothing is wrong with it that I will have to limit my contact with her. It is embarrassing to talk about this but I think it is important to say that blood family isn’t always who our real family is. Anyways, sorry for ranting. Hope you have fun with your granddaughters. Take care of yourself.
