He has done everything correctly and respectfully in this situation. You are an AWESOME mother and you have done NOTHING to fail your boy. You have provided him with so many wonderful gifts that he is making great use of. I know how hard it is to sit back when there isn't anything we can do but support our children while they work things out, but sometimes we must.<BR/><BR/>Poor Roger. I feel so bad about what he is going through with his foot and hip pain. Please tell him that I am sending lots and lots of healing prayers his way. He is such a dear man. I pray that his pain subsides very soon.<BR/><BR/>Now about that boy on the chair. Those things are not good for my heart! I'm pretty sure that having sons would have done me in. I guess that's why God didn't give me any. Hopefully, by the time I have grandsons, I will have developed a stronger stomach!(and heart!) OY! My girls are hard enough to observe sometimes!<BR/><BR/>Sending lots of prayers for Kathy and the boys, too. And for you, my sweet friend. Try not to use up all of your spoons worrying about everyone else. You need to save some for yourself, dear heart.<BR/><BR/>Hoping for better days, very soon!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Debbie<BR/><BR/>PS-I agree with Debbie up there, that the term"Debbie Downer" kind of gets me down! What happened to the days when the name Debbie was kind of peppy?Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178647238310680492.post-72221402385182223002008-07-29T17:22:00.000-05:002008-07-29T17:22:00.000-05:00Okay, Nessa...now it's time for you to listen to K...Okay, Nessa...now it's time for you to listen to Kimberly, and listen to her good... Okay. Ready?<BR/><BR/>I fail to see how you could EVER think that you have failed Michael in any way or, for that matter, any of your children--but because Michael is the one with the situation right now, we'll keep it about him. A Mother who fails her son doesn't usually see that son proudly serving in the military and handling situations better than many men twice his age. If you had failed Michael in any way, I don't think his superiors would go out of their way to help him at all; they would do everything they could to thwart his efforts to get paid. If you had failed Michael, he would not have the coping skills to handle these SNAFUs in the exemplary manner he had shown! It would be interesting to hear what Michael would have to say about you thinking that you've failed him. I don't think he'd like it. You've got us all praying for him--as well as wishing on stars, crossing all crossable body parts, sending good thoughts, and who-knows-what-all-else. And now I'm gonna say some prayers for you, too, that you will get your Ness-ness back, PRONTO :)!<BR/><BR/>And Roger and Kathy? It goes without saying--more prayers for both! But extra special ones for you...<BR/><BR/>Okay. End of Kimberly lecture. Still like me?

You have taught him the strengths it has taken to get him this far.<BR/><BR/>Not all days are great Ness, and if this is a Debbie Downer day let it happen. Not that I like that term...LOL. Your blog is your blog to express how you feel. Holding it in, makes it worse and for a sicker Ness. Your friends are here with you, for your good days and not so good days. We love you Ness!<BR/><BR/>I will keep Michael in my prayers as well as you and Roger. I know how it feels to not be able to do what I want to, so I feel Roger's pain.<BR/><BR/>I hope the rest of your day is brighter.<BR/><BR/>God Bless~<BR/>DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772406743462324097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178647238310680492.post-66119602048094379232008-07-29T11:34:00.000-05:002008-07-29T11:34:00.000-05:00I hope the money really does get to Michael, and I...I hope the money really does get to Michael, and I hope all goes well with Kathy, and Roger's pain subsides.<BR/>This morning while taking the dogs out, I found a ladybug and brought it in to the Princess.

But how wonderful is it that we can rely on friends across the country to stop what they are doing and say a prayer for us? Just know that you, dear friend, are in my prayers today. As are Michael, Kathy and Roger. Sending you lots of love today and an extra prayer.
