I hope with all my heart that you all can forge the kind of relationship that you would love to have. My very young grandchildren are being badgered by their father to go and live with him. He is causing them to be so sad and mixed up. Unhappy things happen and are so difficult to deal with. But we must, mustn't we? I like your page. I think Lizzy's suggestion is a good one. Sometimes another pair of eyes to see differently than our own is just what we need . :) Happy WOYWW Lisca.Nannie4https://www.blogger.com/profile/11905900689588277980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-18970161430314680122015-02-18T12:08:32.118+01:002015-02-18T12:08:32.118+01:00Sorry Lisca!

I think the scariest was when my ex 'stole' my kids. They were only 3 & 5. Ended up all great. BUT.....man......anyways, you're right. With God, we MORE than just 'cope'. Eventually!!!! ANYWAYS...side tracked. Yes, I did mean that, the red :) Keep warm!!! We're trying to keep cool over here!!!Lizzy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635794099699316625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-44027092883818009122015-02-15T23:49:33.915+01:002015-02-15T23:49:33.915+01:00Thanks Lynette.

It must be difficult for children to have to choose between mum or dad. My boy chose his country (Italy) over a country he didn't know the language of (Holland) which I can understand. But yes, it was difficult. I felt a failure (as a wife and as a mother). It took years to get over that and without the Lord's mercy and grace I would never have made it.<br />I do appreciate input as I learn from other people.

Life is so hard sometimes and it is wonderful to hear that you have reconnected. I hope that you build the relationship I know that you would want. A precious memory recorded so beautiful...

I pray that your relationship will grow strong and that you will get to enjoy your grand baby. I am sure making this page was bittersweet but also therapeutic xxLynette Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008748483680810943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-9681351884634360992015-02-15T00:38:31.461+01:002015-02-15T00:38:31.461+01:00We all have such stories in our lives!

My son was asked by his Dad when he was 13 to go live with him..... & I had no choice but to let him make that decision. In the end he stayed with us. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for you, only having had a glimmer of the difficulty. I'm GLAD you're in touch again:) And it's a lovely page.....the tape looks great & I really like the way you've done the title up top!!! The only thing I would have done differently [if you don't mind others' inputs?] would have been to have splashed the yummy paint strokes under the photo layers as well....but you know me. Always too bold in my scrapping!!! So maybe not! Lizzy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635794099699316625noreply@blogger.com
