I decided the same thing. My 83-year-old mother lives 5000 miles away from me (with my very hard-nosed brother), so it's not like she has a way of finding out if I'm okay. I decided to be merciful. Every few months I send her a letter just to let her know I'm okay and what's going on in my life. I've been doing it for 8 years. About 5 years ago she actually wrote back to me! In her letter she told me that I'm old enough to know what I want, just be careful. She's never written again. I suspect my brother found out that she had answered me and freaked out.

My husband MISSED the meeting today! Unheard of!
by Julia Orwell inhe decided to take me somewhere nice in the country for a day instead, and when he suggested it last night i was amazed that he would have even thought of missing the meeting!
he was one of those guys who only missed a meeting, literally, if he had a spinal injury and couldn't move!.
but, i've been sharing a little of the ttatt with him, teensy tiny bits that i can substantiate from the bible or other reputable sources.
