Happy fourth of July! A few days late


Our weekend was fun. We had a great time in Price and spent some time with my grandparents. We went to a parade, went swimming, saw fireworks and went to a dinosaur museum. Ian was difficult as usual. I'm really not sure what to do anymore. I am so overwhelmed and I'm starting to suspect that we are purposely not being invited places because of him. I think it was good for us to get away as a family because I was feeling really bad before we left for this very reason. Spending time with my family made me realize that in the end only one thing matter's and that is the fact that we are family. No matter what...he is my son. He is Hard! He is annoying! He is out of control but he is my son! We've been trying very hard to stress this with our kids lately trying to help them understand that sometimes it sucks to be part of this family but ya better get used to it because as buzz lightyear would say...to infinity and beyond! yep...we are stuck to each other forever!

You're right, Ang. We may not think our circumstances are very fair here on this planet, but we just need to exercise faith and hope for the eternities to come. One day we'll know what all this was about and isn't it a comfort and a joy to think about what Ian will be like in the eternities. You're pretty lucky to be his mom and he's pretty lucky to get you for a mom. And by lucky, I mean blessed. I really look up to you and though we help each other out, you really are amazing to me! I love ya!

You truly are an inspiration! I admire you so much, Ian is lucky to have you as his mom and I know you beat yourself up sometimes cuz you're not perfect (and even when you are, things don't turn out) but you are doing your best and I am lucky to have you as a friend!
