Lois's Story
I have been married for 28 wonderful years to my Dan. I have 2 sons and 7 grandchildren. One son is a hospital administrator and one son is in the construction field. I now reside in Florida. I worked for many years as a marketing manager. Recently, due to the depression we are not in, (stupid "W") the company was forced to close their doors. I am now unemployed for the first time since my boys were small children. That is why I have time to get bored and play with the puter. :0)
Well here it is 2009 and my husband and I find ourselves back here in Ct. We are now living in the suburbs(ugh!) of Hartford in a town called Enfield. The plus is that I am back with my family, or I guess I should say what's left of it- in the last six years we have lost two of our sisters, and heartbreakingly, a nephew. 35 years old, taken by colon cancer. Jason was in the process of adopting a child who his niece by marraige. Jay died 2 years ago, the adoption just went through. Jay had two wonderful children all ready. Married to his childhood sweetheart Stacy. She has prven herself to be a warrior since being left alone to raise their children, Stacy works very hard to brng home the bacon.Jason and Stacy"s first born, Stephanie was just 14 when she lost her dad. She is a huge help to her mom wit he kids and I know Jason is proud of her. Joey is th emiddle child and he is wonderful, but I do worry about him as he has become very quiet, almost to the point of silence. I worry about the day he finally ...Expand for more
lets loose.
Well any way, needless to say it has really been a nightmare. The two sisters Phyllis and Judy and I lost were Phyl"s and my very best friends, and we still grieve every day. It is harder for Phyllis, as she is the one who lost her son as well. I often wonder just how much one family can be expecterd to endure. Oh yes, and did I fail to mention that I also lost my closest friend,a lady who has known me and I her since brownie camp. I notced today that there is nothing in here about that and I wonder how many of you are aware that Elizabeth Asal died suddenly a couple of years ago? Elizabeth had lost her only child, Mathew in a car accident a few years prior to her own death. I swear she willed herself to die. I feel a great deal of sorrow for myself over this loss, but frankly it is hard for me to feel sorry for Liz, as I know she is exactly where she wanted to be, with Matthew, and his father, who succumedto cancer a year after Matthew passed.
All right well thta was depressing, yes? Other than all the horrible things that have passed, my husband and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary this year! It hardly seems possible that this much time has actually passed- I am fairly certain that I just turned 18 not too long ago!
Hey, Where is Debbie Grippo? If you are out there hun, drop me a line here!
Now that I have thoroughly depressed ev1, I have to run as I am the baby-sitter tonight, an my Great nephew is crying. Bye for now!
