TT and Wrongnumber,
Thank you so much for your kind reply. My daughter means everything to me. She is the daughter of my daughter. Her mother died from a VIRAL MYOCARDITIS when she was only a few weeks old. I adopted her and she belongs to me. It is wonderful to be able to say mom to someone. I am so blessed to have her in my life and would give my life for her in one instant if I were ever called to so do. Please keep this in your heart as you enter any new relationship, the love of a good man will come to you freely. I try my best to instill good values in my daughter and she is such a love. It is just the two of us and to come into a relationship with a man will be very new for her.She has a very good sense of people however, feeling that you are in love puts a different frame on the picture. I will continue to share with her as well as you TT never settle for anyone or anything that is not good for you and with you. There is a very big difference between being alone and being lonesome. You can be with someone and experience an extreme feeling of being lonely. You can be alone and not at all lonely. Please always remember the difference between being alone and being lonely. My daughter will enter the world of men one day and trust all will go well for her as any mother would hope. However, there are dark days for all of us it is called, "life" and we somehow recover and move on. Just continue to be who you are, feel good about you, change nothing about you to fit the needs of any "man". We all have the need to be loved, but with that need never forget to love yourself also. As a mother, I am so sorry for your pain, so very sorry. I will not say that it will make you stronger, I will say that these days too shall pass. Always, remember to speak those things that are not as if they were so. Speak for your life love and peace within your heart.
WRONGNUMBER, thank you so much, I really give it my best to be a wonderful mom for this child. It is also important to teach with privilige comes responsibility, never to take anything for granted. Important to have good manners and to show respect to your fellow man. It is so important for this child to understand that there are people you are hungry and suffering in this world. Service to others is so important, doing what ever we are able to do to make this world a better place. Again, Merry Christmas where you both may be.
TT,
I will continue to search on the net and I am sure to locate something nice. We are so looking forward to six week in Paris during the summer. I am planning wonderful things for the two of us to do. Of course, this will include shopping at Hermes, Chanel, Baccarat,Lalique ,love their jewelery, Goyard, Dior,Pucci, the works. Oh my, museums, eating, and celebrating a 17th birthday . It is so nice to have a daughter. The time has passed so quickly, when I put her in my arms she was only eleven weeks old and my daughter was dead. We have come a very, very, long way just the two of us.Take care guys, and if you will be in Paris during the summer just PM and we will get together. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. That took some gumption to throw a ring like that back. On the other hand, given the sod he was, you wouldn't want to be reminded of him.
