We have to watch our finances closely and we don't get to do very much at all, but our son is healthy and happy. I haven't surrendered either. Stay strong and never give up!Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171670007828382529.post-90343530639412068102012-06-11T20:12:09.582-05:002012-06-11T20:12:09.582-05:00I can relate, sort of!

The social services field doesn't pay well, DUH!, so we were struggling with living expenses and medical bills on my salary. Things are a little better now but still very tight.

Knowing, also, that others have fought before me and conquered helps, a very little bit. Still, we've got to hold on and keep fighting the good fight.

Having a loving husband to help me over my loss, or so I thought. Three days later he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and 2 months later he too was gone. I was devastated and lost, all the children had flown the nest and felt so RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171670007828382529.post-11997749934895300542012-06-11T16:44:28.242-05:002012-06-11T16:44:28.242-05:00New follower and fellow Never Surrender blogfester...New follower and fellow Never Surrender blogfester waving to you.
