  as the summer nears it's end and the parents hurry up to get the kiddies ready for back to school, i think of: "what get-away will i plan for next year?

  " i didn't get to vacation this year but will most likely be vacationing somewhere far away from texas next summer.

  any favorite vacation spots you might recommend?

  LB, lol, you mean the "undress code"? Makena is right at home there, all his beach buddies ask about him if he's not there. We've met people from all over the world, all shapes and sizes.

  I think it should be the Hawaii Apostafest locale.

  So far, no screaming...unless we forget the sunscreen.

  I MAY HAVE HIT BOTTOM

  by BONEZZ in

  2. friends

  i thought i'd hit it several times before...as i have been thru the divorce over the past couple of years...lost all my so-called friends...lost my belief in what i thought was the "truth"....and now my own loving daughter, being the good little dub she is has told me she doesn't want me to walk her down the aisle at her wedding.

  she told me today at lunch.

  i almost threw up.

  Bonezz, I'm so sorry!

  I know you are not asking for advise, but I feel it's best to fight this craziness with unconditional love. Show her and them that you now how to be a supportive, loving dad even though they don't have a clue what love's about.

  I lost my daughter to this cult, and I never had a father to walk me down the aisle. I feel where there is life, there is hope. Leave the door open and love and support her anyway you can. What I would have given for a father that cared enough to want to be there for me!!

  Just my 2cents worth.

  (((Tinkerbell)))

  I totally agree with what you said about grieving the loss of a loved one that completed suicide. When people ask me how many children I have, I still say just one. If I say I have two, then I know I'll have to address my daughter's suicide. I feel sometimes like it's a burden I am laying on someone by talking about it. I know its extremely difficult for some people to hear. I often say if she died of cancer or any other terminal illness, it would have been so much easier to deal with.

  In one day I lost my most treasured possession, my beautiful daughter, also most "friendships" that I developed over 35 years being a witness, my parents who sided with the elders, and my life long belief system after seeing how unloving the elders and my congregation was. Even though she died four years ago, it's a constant pain I deal with daily. I cherish her memory, and I try to stay strong for my wonderful son and husband. Coming to this forum and having many that know exactly what I'm going through has been a tremendous help.

  From the mouths of babes (post your funnies)

  a couple of years ago during the km meeting the day of the memorial was announced, location and time.

  the announcement was followed by a km article review re: the memorial (question & answer).

  my daughter was 5 at that time and had been dozing off & on.

  When my son was three, at the memorial, he sat patiently watching the crackers go by - then the wine. He looked at me and asked loudly "Where's the cheese?" He had been to enough wine parties to know you must serve cheese with wine and crackers..come on!!

  Oh, duh...Trotafox, thanks for reminding me!! I love to dance, it's probably my only "natural" talent. But, of course, growing up JW, that was totally squashed.

  Last year Makena and I took dance lessons, did a little salsa, swing, and tango. We just loved it. I keep my son entertained by doing my middle aged impression of hip hop dancing.

  But I begin to think victims as Sarah are lambs, too, who have been spiritually and emotionally abused and silenced

  Thank you sunshine for stating this. I couldn't agree more. It's so ironic, my daughter's name mean's ewe in Hebrew. She was an innocent little lamb that had to face an arrogant, self-righteous PO all alone, telling her how worthless she was in god's eyes.

  BTW, when I spoke to the mother of the man that committed suicide a couple of months ago in the same kingdom hall we attended , it turns out the same PO was involved that spoke to my daughter.
