my poor child

**heaven** · 12-12-2002, 12:14 AM

keiko called me tonight and she has been having emotional problems the last week or so there is so much going on. they are checking her for diabetes, then they want to find out why she is so irregular, *i think it is just because i am the same way.* then she is having mood swings, i know what they are from this is her first christmas with out the us. So she is sad, i am not sure if she realizes that is what it is or not. she called me almost in tears, i feel so bad. but there is nothing i can do right now. i keep telling myself that SHE chose to stay in Maine at the end of the summer i didn't force her, (i would rather have her with me.) sorry i just had to vent a little.

{{{{hugs}}}} heaven. Its tough when a child makes a choice and its not what we would have wished for.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, my friend. cj

Thanks Cj. It is just so hard being so far away right now. makes me want to jump into the van and start driving east.

Dear Heaven,

Hang in there

Other people's pain can hurt even worse than our own, especially when it's our kids. I am thinking of you xxxx

My Dear Dad suffered from Depression and so do I and when he was alive he just used to say to me simply - "This too shall pass"

I know people say stupid things that don't help at all BUT everything does change and it sometimes helps to remember.

Here are my favourites that keep me trudging on:
This too shall pass
Keep it simple
Just for Today
Do the next right thing

Luv ya Heaven - Take care

Christmas time can be especially hard, it's filled with so much emotion... I'm sorry that you two are apart...... Teenage years are tough no matter what, in the best of circumstances. She is blessed to have a Mother that loves her so...... I hope it won't be too long till you can all be together again.... Hugs Heaven !!!
It will be OK.....

That has got to be one of the hardest things to deal with. I hope you guys will be together real soon.

heavensent_7 has some good words to think on.

We are hugging you while you are longing to hug her.

Lots of love and prayer and friendship to hold everything together.

God bless you
