I was just thinking that this blog is depressing.  It is, I agree. So, I thought it was important to point out that I am not depressed. I think that’s the reason I was able to start writing.  I thought about writing for a long time but couldn’t.  I always got too sad writing about my parents.  I miss them so much.  Now I still miss them but time and hard work has gotten me to a place where I can live without them. My life without them seems normal now, it didn’t in the beginning.  So like everyone else, I have good days and bad days.

My other disclaimer is that my mom was always my editor.  She always took care of commas, spelling, sentence structure and all those important grammar issues.  So I don’t have an editor, pardon the errors and bear with me. 😉

Third disclaimer is one of the reasons I thought to put all this in a blog was for my children to one day be able to read what was going on in my life when they were little.  I found bits and pieces of my mom’s writing but nothing complete.  Now that she is gone, I wish she had written more down.  I like reading her voice, but it leads to so many questions I ever was able to ask.

I will probably come up with some more disclaimers as time goes on. 🙂
