To my friends

The last few months have been really tough. Divorce talks, emigration woes, and the big one, child drama's.
Sounds so insignificant when in writing, but each drama has been a major one, and they have happened one after another. A roller coaster ride from hell,turmoil and chaos reigns,and have been so drained,draining and demanding.
A bit of sanity has settled today and while I can I want to just say thanks.

Thank you Ronnie for listening to my moaning everyday, for worrying at night and phoning to check on how I am doing. For visiting Cheryldene, and being on her side when I couldn't , thank you.
For always smiling and for making sure that we laugh at least once a day.For the knowledge that no matter how tiring or wrong I may be, you are always on my side. You have never judged, and have had a never ending amount of encouragement.

Thank you Pat, for always making sure I see the other side of any Andreas issue. For letting me share in your pain and grounding me when sometimes I over react. Thank you for all your advice on how to handle the girls and sharing your experience with me, and when you have had no advice, for just sympathising.For letting me rant and rave, without interrupting or making me feel stupid.

For trusting me, and for always being trustworthy. I am really so grateful for your friendship and your patience.

Elaine and Margs have listened when I have needed it, and I have always known that they do both care, even if there isn't always enough time in the day.
That alone is such a comfort.

Now I am going to shrug off this cloud of despair, and try not to be this miserable person who is no fun to be with.I am going to stop obsessing about things I cannot control and try not to get so wrapped up in the drama's that seem to keep spinning into my orbit.

Thank you. Without you, I would not have made it through the last few months, and been able to have to strength to shake off this dark shroud.
