Happy Monday to Everyone!
Yesterday I did some reflecting on my present state of mind, body, and spirit. Our bodies were not meant to house stress for long periods of time. Cliff and I talked about this this weekend. Some changes in my present situation may be changing soon. I have to talk to my daughter this week so I would appreciate your prayers. Olivia is the light of my life so it will be hard to not see her every day. This change will not happen overnight. We will give my daughter and SIL time to find someone to take care of our precious grandbaby. This decision has not been made lightly. Most of you know that I have felt torn between the two homes. My husband has always supported whatever decisions I have made. God gave me a special gift when he gave him to me.It has been a wonderful weekend with my hubby. We really had a good time. Dinner and a movie one night together. Went to church yesterday and then spent the evening with some friends we hadn't seen in awhile.
Hope everyone had a good weekend. Have a blessed day my friends. Here is a song that I used to play on the radio when I was a DJ years ago. I love it because it is a song that is about keeping our marriages strong and forever. Love and Hugs to Everybody! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UkWVjy3TSQU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Cindy, I am certain that your decision has been a difficult one and that you will miss being with Olivia every day. You didn't make the decision lightly. I hope your daughter and SIL understand that and appreciate the sacrifices you have made for them and let you return to your own home with good feelings. At least you have some transition time still wioth them. Sending you good thoughts and feelings and love. You look amazing by the way. Congrats again and hope things go well for you when you have that conversation.

Although your decision was difficult to come by, I can't help but agree that it was the right decision. While she is your little love bug, your 1st priority is rightfully your beloved spouse whom God gave you as your most significant relationship, other than with Himself in the person of Jesus. You both complete one another - and to be a part from your soul mate for such long periods has got to be difficult, stressful and sorrow-producing, although being the caregiver for Olivia is fulfilling. I will pray for you and for the parents that they will receive and graciously accept your words. I love you - I know this is hard. praying for you!

I am believing that God will help transition things smoothly for all of you! You're such a good Mom, and Grandma!!! - but you're a loving wife as well. It is sometimes hardest just to make the decision...praying all peace will help this to fall into place. Much Love.

Cindy, I am sooo sorry...I know that this decision is such a tough one, but when it comes down to it, your hubby and your marriage is the most important thing. I am positive that you and your daughter will be able to find a wonderful caretaker for Olivia. I will be praying for all of you, that God will help you choose the right words to talk to them, that He will hold you close during this difficult time, that He will help you find just the right person to care for your beautiful granddaughter, and that this transition is smooth. I love you, dear sister and I know how difficult this decision has been for you. My heart hurts for you. God bless you and your family.

Thank you my friend for being there during this difficult decision. Sometimes I think I ask alot of ya'll. Your prayers are so much appreciated. Evie, you are right about our spouses being number one after Jesus. Paula, the decision has taken some time but I'm at peace even now for making it. Stef, my sister, this was a tough decision. We will find a wonderful loving caretaker. Lisa, thank you for inspiring me to look at myself and those around me to improve on those relationships. To all of you...I love you and thank you so much for your prayers...Having a hard time right now with the tears but this too will pass. Love and Hugs{{{}}}

Cindy when I first read about your journey every week to take care of your grand daughter I really prayed that you would start to think about finding another way to get your grand daughter cared for. I am so happy that you came to this conclusion. For the health of your marriage and also that of your daughter and SIL. They have accepted the responsibility of becoming parents and need to step to all of the challenges this presents. I don't mean that to sound insensitive but I think you know what I mean. God will be with you as you deliver this news!
