The problem that remains is something I can do nothing to change. Over the years my role as the mother of a developmentally disabled child/adult has changed from being a mother to being a care giver. Now I find the same thing has happened in my marriage. I am no longer exactly a mother or a wife. Of all the changes over the last year, this is the most painful. I so miss being a mom and now being a wife. I believe this will change back to some degree but for now, it is what it is. In the meantime, I continue to be grateful for those who care so this week I made cookies. Wish I could do the same for all of you, but in the meantime love to you and yours. Hold them close.because you never know.

Nadine you are tired. Know that even though you can not see "results" they are happening. All things this end of our lives happens slower than the beginning. I thank you for the cookies..... they are just perfect, fun, colorful and non calorie..... Martha would cheer you on as well..... cheers...for Nadine.
Lovely cookies and I can enjoy one (or even two) without the fear of extra calories. Life must be so difficult for you right now but I am sure your love and care is very much appreciated. As you say, we never know do we?
Nadine, I think of you so often and admire the strength you have. I am not sure I could do as well. Please know that I think about you often and look forward to seeing the progress you are making on that wonderful quilt.
Awww Nadine I wish I could give you a big hug. And be there for you. I miss you and love you so much. Our phone calls are just not enough. But I know that you are one strong woman and your posting was just a small vent and you put it away and you are working hard to make things good for Dale. I wish you hadn't posted the picture of the cookies though. For those who have never tasted your sugar cookies they don't have a clue as to how good they taste and what they are missing. I do. I am eating an Oreo cooking and would much rather be eating one of your cookies. Love you much. Your sister, Kathy
Those cookies look soooooo goooood. Sorry you are having so many hiccups along the recovery road. You are a strong woman, mother and wife. My thoughts and prayers go with you. Hugs, hugs, hugs.
