@Dulcet, I'm sorry to hear that you were having some problems.  I'm glad you found your way through it.  We are always here for you.

Absolutely true @Kethlia!

Awwww, @Kethlia

I don't know what to say other than I am here to listen, read, chat, talk, whatever you need.

I'm always just a message a way when you need brother, @Moonhawk.

@Moonhawk, oh brother.  NL will always be your home and safe place.  My heart really goes out to you and your family.  As @hirondellesaid, if you every need a video chat, we are always here, just let us know.  I will be honest, I can't even begin to imagine where you are at, but I am a great listener.  I wish I was there now so I could give you a big old wolf hug, brother.

Amazing car!  Amazing house!  Amazing yard!  Love it!  I'm glad that you are having more good days.  You have been missed brother.  Glad to see you back posting.

Will you stop doing things you don't get points for?

What @hirondelle said.  

Thank you so much @fox.  I did really enjoy it!  I’ve been rollerblading before, and I’ve always wanted to try roller hockey, so when I was asked, there was no way I was turning it down. Can’t wait for them to loosen up on the restrictions here so we can play again. 

This is why I blog.  I blog for me.  You had/have an amazing blog with Imagine the North.

That look so beautiful. 

 

that would have changed my mind too lol. Great to see that though my bother. I remember when I use to take public transport with the family, going shopping was the worse and my wife always support me even when she was pregnant. 

 

What made me or forced me to get a car was when my wife became pregnant with our third child. Shopping and general moving around became so difficult, fighting, literally fighting for space on the bus did it for me. and I must say I have never looked back. Since getting the car we have been to so many places here in the UK that I never knew exist even though I have been living here for so long. Our most recent trip was to wales, man what a stunner. 

 

I say that to say, you and Tracey will enjoy more road trips.

 

Enjoy my friends. 

Thank you so much!  It's such a pleasure to drive.  The biggest thing is that I have accepted what traffic is going to be like as soon as I have decided to take the car instead of the bike.  Also, when it's raining, I don't have to worry about gearing up with rain gear, which is so hot, I sweat so much, it's almost as if I didn't wear rain gear.  LOL.

it is how you distance yourself from it all with "and caused me"

actually "which upset me, so I hit him" would be more honest, lol - but "which caused me" is better... like you were simply victim of the laws of physics  

I was simply the victim of the laws of hockey I think,

This is my favourite sentence "they slashed out goalie to knock the puck loose, which upset me, and caused me to hit that player and sending him flying" 

Yes, I know.  I was a bit of a trouble maker.  

Ah yes!  I worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years!  It was my first real job.  I love it!  Sometimes it's stressful and difficult, but overall it's good.  I miss it sometimes.  Maybe one day I will open my own little place.   

2 things brother.  

1. When you go to the Philippines, you should take a weekend and come to Bangkok.  
2. How did you do that to your finger??  

The key, I think, is that you are taking baby steps.  You are pushing your boundaries in a way that you need to.  This isn't something you can rush. 

I love you so much.  I don't regret anything we have done.  I think we can do more now going forward if that's what we want to do.  Reading together, traveling together, spending time together.  I love you!

Right now I really just want to go home, curl up in a ball and cry.  I want someone to just hold me and tell me life is worth living.  That we're not just all on a slow trip to wind up here...  dumped off by your family to die alone surrounded by strangers.  I have seen some families who are here for their loved ones but I've seen too many who are alone at the end, or holding a hand they don't know.  And no matter how much I care or try to provide some measure of comfort I always feel bad and I know it's not the same.

This right here says you are worth more than their family.  You are there for them when their family dropped them off and just left them.  You're there for the families that do make it there to see their loved ones.

I can remember when I was younger, my great grandmother was in a care facility because.  She had been in one since my great grandfather's Alzheimer's got too bad.  She had a really sharp mind until the end when she was 105.  I used to visit her at least twice a year with my parents until I started driving, then I would visit her on my own or with my sisters if they were with me.  The rest of my family would visit more often as they were closer.  The staff at this facility were amazing.  Over worked, but they were there for those that didn't have family and there for those that did.  

Thank you my love.  Yeah, I didn't intend it to be that long, but I had a lot to catch up on.  LOL.

Thank you. I am honored that you say this place helps, all its little nooks and crannies. 

Yes, being a parent can be hard. I only know a little bit of what it’s like being one as for most of my kids lives, I lived on the opposite side of the world, but I have talked to them every chance I could (once to twice a week) and I have helped them in any way that I can. 

Feel free to vent here here any time you need. 

Thank you @Tika  I will work on more. Lol. 

Thank you so much @Aliea
