I feel so much better. Said my piece, quelled the bull and got rid of people pandering to both sides. The best way to tell who is true, honest people is to speak your mind. True, Honest people will agree or disagree without going behind your back to pander to others. People didn't like what I did. Ok, your opinion. That's fine, but you don't attack a person for putting their own life where everyone can see it. But since then, life has been good. That gnawing feeling of "when are you going to get that call." Is gone!! I love my son. That will never change, I'm just no longer connected to his decisions in a way that would negatively affect me/us.

Spring is coming, kids are growing, new things are around the corner!! The next phase of life is around the corner. Deal with the bad as it comes, never lose sight of the goal. We got this!
