Hello All Thanks for your continued prayers and good wishes for me and my family. Yesterday was a great day, celebrating son's birthday and hanging out with friends and famly. My donor (DIL'S Mother) decided we would have some fun with all the kids we started a water balloon fight. Needless to say we got blasted. The weather was great. It was about 80 degrees yesterday.
My grandson is still doing about the same. He is one special little boy. Thanks for all the prayers for him.
Hi Pammie, so pleased you had a great party. Glad all is going well and hope transplant is still on for the end of the month. Hope the two g/ma's changed out of their wet clothes after water fights. Not the time for you two to be getting colds.I hope your DIL can manage you pair of scallywags
Good Morning All This article was in my local newspaper yesterday. I think it hit the nail on the head.
Does Anyone Really Mean Their Wedding Vows?
In 1978, when I recited similar vows with my husband of nearly 27 years, I thought couples were supposed to mean what they pledged to one another on their wedding day. But recent news events and news-makers have shown me how naive I was.
Remember Russell Yates, the husband of the woman in Texas who drowned their five children? Three years after she was sentenced to life in prison, he has divorced her.
"We still care about each other," he assured reporters the other day. But, he added, "I couldn't live that way."
Her being in prison is a burden, as you can imagine, and there's the insanity-paranoia-
schizophrenia thing, too. Faced with such challenges, Yates decided to move on with his life.
Explaining that you're ready to move on is a euphemistic way of saying that, due to unforeseen and catastrophic developments, you have decided to abandon your marriage.
That's what Michael Schiavo did years ago, even though he was still married to his wife,
Terri. She was brain-damaged, you see, and in a persistent vegetative state, and didn't recognize him or anyone else, and had to live in a nursing home, and couldn't be a real wife, and ... well, it was too awful to bear.
Time to move on.
In fact, until they became
estranged from him a few years later, Terri Schiavo's parents encouraged Michael to date other women.
Eventually, he settled down with a girlfriend, had two children with her, and announced his intention to marry her when his wife accommodated him by dying, which Terri finally did on March 30 after he had her feeding tube removed.
Call me unrealistic, but when my husband promised to stick with me no matter what, I believed him. I still believe him; and I believe that I am morally obligated to keep the promises I made to him.
My understanding was that "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health" meant staying with your spouse even if he or she slipped into insanity, or was in a coma, or went to jail, or never made much money.
Still, the "it's time to move on" explanation seems to resonate with a lot of people these days, which is why I think we need to come up with revised wedding vows that sound traditional but incorporate the modern understanding of one's obligation to a spouse.
For example, the thoroughly modern groom could say, "I, John, take you, Mary, to be my wife with the loving understanding that if you develop cancer, become mentally ill, sustain a disfiguring injury, fall into a coma or get sent to prison, or simply gain a whole bunch of weight, I may decide to move on with my life."
And the equally modern bride could respond, "I, Mary, accept those terms, John, with the loving understanding that the reverse applies as well. Moreover, if you move your Alzheimer's-stricken mother into our home, or if at any time your annual income drops below an agreed-upon amount, I may decide that it's time to move on with my life."
Then the minister or judge could pronounce them married, and the happy couple could exchange a sweet kiss and accept the congratulatory applause of friends and family members.
No muss, no fuss. And, best of all, no burdensome promises.
When the going gets tough, the tough can simply move on.
Pam: Just time for a real quick post. I'm thrilled to learn that you are cancer free. And you had a wonderful, fun party. Count the positives. With respect to the little one, sounds like he's holding his own. And miracles do take time, but they do happen. I know of 1 lb babies that have survived, thrived and graduated with honours. I'm still praying.
Now - use that positive attitude and prepare for your next step. You'll do fine with it too.
Thanks for posting something for us all to think about.
They're going to be wonderful "little mothers".
