Two weeks from today, Stephi, Lya and I fly to Mexico to see Lorena. We cannot wait. It has been a year since Lya and I have seen her. We are all excited at the prospect of a reunion.
Today has been a very difficult day due to some family issues here. (We are fine. It involved the extended family, and several people have been grievously hurt. I feel sick at heart and about as depressed as a frog on the road. Such is life, though, all too often, and so many have it so much worse than do we. That sure doesn’t make it much easier to experience, though.
The good thing is that it is two weeks to see Lorena again. (And Lya would want me to point out that it is 9 days until her birthday… Yay!!!!) Take care.

Ugh, those kind of situations are very draining. I’m not sure why a frog on a road feels sick…is it a dead frog?
I have a friend who, for all sorts of reasons, gets easily hurt. The boundaries surrounding him increase regularly as he feels he has to protect himself. He is acting reasonably towards himself but at times it feels unreasonable towards me when I inadvertently say something which triggers his anger.
Sometimes people get hurt for unknown reasons. Sometimes they dramatise and want to be centre of attention (like my mother) and will claim “hurt” when all it is is emotional blackmail.
Sometimes it is all reasonable and understandable and the prickliness gets in the way of healing and forgiveness. I don’t like any form of confrontation. I hope your extended family situation calms down.
You must feel so excited about seeing Lorena.
Will you have any photos of her or will that be an intrusion into her life; I was wondering about you having photos on this blog.
“Grievously” is the biggest understatement of the year. So unbelievable that there aren’t even words for it….
