One more Mother's Day.....

[1trinagirl]

Well, it’s Mother’s Day……a day that I normally emotionally avoid like the plague because I lost my mother young.  But, I decided today to embrace all my feelings about it.

First, I would like to thank my dear children (Max and Gia, my Yorkies) for giving me a very sweet Mother’s Day gift.  You see, normally they wake me up between 6:30 and 7:00

Hey Katrina, It is your friend in Kennesaw, BW's girlfriend, hehe! I want to thank you for two things. #1 thank you for being a friend to me & knowing that I love your BW as you do. I am grateful to be sharing his life. You were there for me when I needed someone not only to help guide me but to understand what I was going through, & for that I truly thank you! Of course I will keep you updated & again thank you for being there for us. I love your quote "is your life so bad that you have 2 women who love you?", that is GREAT!! o.k. now for the #2.....Thank you for this journal & sharing your "Mother's Day" feelings. I have read both journal's from 2004 & 2005, (I cried & cried some more), while reading the anonymous reply to 2005, I remembered that was me who replied, just so you know. But what your entries have done for me this time is made me realize just how fortunate I truly am to have my mother still living & just down the road on Bells Ferry. WOW you know how close that is & I do not stop often enough to share time with her, I speak to her daily sometimes many times per day BUT I do not take the time to spend with her, I am ALWAYS busy? My dear father passed away 3.5 years ago & we all miss him as you miss your mother. I have copied your journals about your mother & your Mawmaw & will read them frequently as a reminder. I also will share these with my mother. She will get a lot out of reading these. Thank you for reminding me just how fortunate I truly am to have her! Again, you have helped me realize to get a grip on what truly matters & what things in life are right here in my control!
Thank you, your friend, Deborah

Hello my Sweet Deb...
First, I am so sorry it took me so long to respond to this.....I have been so busy with work (a good thing) and my new guy (a better thing) that I have been in and out of town and distracted.

Second, I thank God everyday that BW has someone like you in his life. What an amazing blessing and gift you are to him. Thank you!!! He is such a talented and gifted man....but in the way that has self-destruction involved.....and you are able to help and love him through that....and I thank you with every ounce of my being. Please know that I will always be there for you and for BW.

I hope you don't mind....but I would love to reveal that you are the girlfriend of my ex-husband.....and that....well, I love him and I really love you for taking care of him (and actually for other reasons...like the fact that you are so cool!). I have always said that it is hard for me to take my compassion and caring and love away from someone....and BW is a great example....but so are you. I love you dearly also....we have become great friends....and I will always be on the side of you and him together.

As far as your mother...it is ALWAYS too soon to lose your mother....even at 100!! Deb, you are an amazing person.....and we all get wrapped up in life and the duties of it....you are a great friend, companion, business partner, girlfriend, wife, mother, daughter, and on and on. You should never have second guesses over your intentions or your heart.....because those of us who know you....know you are genuine, loving, and absolutely 100%!!!

Miss you girl!! Come see me....even without BW!!!

Oh Katrina....once again ! I guess it is a good thing for me to read your response & your writings!!!....you have me in tears every time I read & they are the deep emotions that we all must feel from time to time & cry then feel better for it! I am sure it has been said that you should be a writer? or maybe just a daily column in a local paper, I know that I would read daily to touch my deepest emotions...well any way, the past few days I went to North Carolina to camp atop Joyce Kilmer ("Trees" poem) I will email to you a few pics that are just beautiful & this place is a must for you to drive up one day to take it all in (be sure to do it with someone special). I left BW @ home for a few & spent the mountain outing with my youngest, Dustin. WOW what a cleansing! I missed that man BW with all of me, @ the same time I think it was great for the two of us! I thank you for being a friend to the "both" of us & I know he feels so deeply also for you as do I, I never knew when I met him that I could feel that way towards his "Ex??" that word needs "axed" haha when it comes to you, it is so much more than that, you are a true friend & your love for him is forever & it shows with your caring heart. I am SO GLAD to get to know you & to call you "friend". I am SO excited for you & this "new friend-man". Good luck with that & I can't wait to hear more. You deserve so much happiness.
With love from Kennesaw, Deborah
