Family Life...

Life is a growing process; Family life takes compromise.
I remember growing up and trying to figure out where I fit in the world and how I fit in the Family. Sometimes I thought I was lucky because I only had one set of parents to deal with and sometimes I thought I got the short end of the stick because I only had one set of parents to deal with.

I do not know that is better - but what I do know that my Mom and Dad loved me and still love my no matter what. They have and will be mad at me for things they may not agree with, but they always try to be there for me the best they can.

I can recall a time when I did not talk to my parents to months at a time. This was during the time I lived in a studio apt. this was not a shinning time in my life. Only calling when I needed money or food, but not to just talk and see how life was treating them or how Grandpa was...They were always there to listen to my troubles and woes and never scolded or put me down.

I started to remember this time when Liamarie sent a e-mail after we had a great time in July 2008 when she visited us. We went swimming, to the beach, tide pool searching, and just hung out with her. We all had a great time...that we thought.

I can not paste the e-mail as she has deleted her myspace profile and the e-mail is gone...basicly she requested that we stay out of her life so she can figture out stuff and finish school. So we have and we will. This does not make us happy please we Love you....John is sad and cries somtimes hoping she is okay. all we want is for her to be a strong and self supportive person. So we go on with our family life growing together and hoping for Liamarie to figture out that she has a part in out family life.
