My girls are all grown up and my son is right behind them

My oldest daughter came home after being in Afghanistan for a year. I only saw her for a couple of hours at her "Welcome Home Party" her dad had for her. Talking to her was awkward. A couple of weeks later I found out that her and her "fiance" were already married. I have been having nightmares in re to what has become of our mother/daughter relationship. My middle daughter is back on track again. She is so hard on herself. I was so worried about her for a moment and wasnt sure what to do. Thank God, she pulled herself out of her depression and got back on track again. My youngest daughter now lives with me. I had no idea how much she is like me! Same temperment. I worry about her. But I have faith in her that she will get through this time of her life and continue to move forward. As for my son. He is 9 yrs old. He is Autistic. He is in a special needs class for children like him. I am awed at what he is learning to do this year. Reading, writing, math for starters. I am so very proud of him. As for myself, I am still dealing with personal issues. Trying to work through them and make better choices. I still am a big advocator for pediatric cancer. I guess thats it for now.

July/August

Cant believe that summer is almost over. With the end of summer approaching, my oldest daughter has officially completed basic training (Army)! I am flying to Missouri August 11 to watch her graduate, I cant believe she is already done with her basic training. My middle daughter got the privledge of going to San Francisco, for a week to follow a medical doctor around in a hospital. She wants to be a pediatrician when she graduates from high school. This year being her senior year of high school. As for me, I am desparately trying to find a duplex that takes section 8 so that I can get out of this hellish neighborhood my kids and I live in.

My daughter graduated from basic training!

Last week I flew to Fort Leonardwood, Missouri to watch my oldest daughter graduate from basic training. There are no words to describe how I felt when my daughter marched in through the doors of the stadium wearing her fatigues and standing tall. I listened to her yell with her squad the soldiers creed. As I sat there looking at her, many thoughts crossed my mind. Over and over again I thought to myself how blessed I am to have such a beautiful daughter both inside/outside. If it wasnt for her, my ex husband, his wife or me wouldnt have been able to see her graduate. So many things I have missed in my daughters 18 yrs of life. Due to a drug addiction that I had, I missed 5 years of my daughters lives. When I cleaned up and came back around, all 3 of my daughters let me back in their lives and over time forgave me. And while I can never make up for lost time, I was able to be there for something so important as what my daughter had decided to do with her life. I sat there next to my ex...
