Thanks to everyone for the support. I have stuck to my guns and have remained with no contact and it's getting a little easier!
On a much happier note, I have had my kids here for a few days, they are gone now but the happiness in my soul remains..
Here are a few pics from their visit
Everyone eating snowcream that Holly made. They all wanted food colouring! Me at the end in my pink nightie!!! Not a sight anyone needs to be subjected to.!! My hubby standing next to me and our son on the other side of the table!
Jesse making a snowball in the middle of the lake..
Ethan had a friend up with him and they were trying to take daddy down! I don't think they made it.
Olivia waiting to be driven home! She's not too keen on the cold and it was very cold that day.
Still building his snowball.
Abigail in my bed. She came in every morning for a snuggle and to get warm and I could stay there all day cuddling her.
Bathtime.
Abigail and Charlie, vying for space in the chair.
Last two pics are taken at the Big Nickel mine or Dynamic Earth as they call it now. It will always be the Big Nickel to us and I suspect to Pea as well!!

What sweet photos. Abigail has the longest eye lashes! They each are just adorable and look like they had so much fun. I bet your dogs miss all the attention from the little ones too! Don't think I've ever seen a snow ball as big as the one Jesse is working on. I know you miss them terribly. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your little joy makers.
They're adorable! Looks like everybody had fun. I'm glad things are getting better.
Hugs
Hi Jenny.... I love seeing pictures of your family... Those kids are adorable --and they all look so happy. Glad they came to see you... I'm sure they gave you alot of LOVE.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire!
Happy St. Patrick's Day, dear Amelia:-)
Good for you for sticking to your guns about your mother, I know it's hard but it's in your best interest. Loved seeing the pictures of when your son and family came to visit. Looks like everyone had such a fun time:-) Would you believe I've never tasted snow cream? I know how it's made but I've just never tried it! Lord knows there was enough snow out there for it. lol
It's pouring rain here right now with thunder and lightning. That will get rid of some of that snow. xoxo
Those look like some happy faces there ~ adorable!!! So glad you had some lovely family time ~ good for you!

Just what you needed, happy family time (and what lovely names). Hope you are feeling positive and balanced now, look forward to more days like that and be proud of yourself.
Thank you for the update, that it's getting easier!!!!!!! Even if/when something comes along, to try to set you back, on your decision, I hope you will weather it and keep going.
Lovely family time, like you picture, is a great incentive. Concentrate on doing life, the way you choose to. Enjoy such things. Keep them close to your heart. And hopefully, heal from the past.
Gentle hugs..
What wonderful photographs of your family, you all look like your have a lovely time. What is snow cream? There seemed to be huge bowls of it whatever it is!
I am so jealous of your spending time with your kids and grands! LOL No I am really glad you had such a wonderful time. I miss my girls and grands so much. They need me it seems alot right now and all I can do is talk to them over the phone. Am looking forward to having the grands visit maybe at spring break or if not this summer. I LOVE YOUR SNOW!!!!!!!
looks like a good time was had by all! i can just tell how much love you have for your family! :)
That looks like so much fun--except the cold part!
just come back from New Zealand after been with my children for almost 2 months....I know exactly how you are feeling...Wish I could have them by my side all the time too.
as for your relationship with your mum,try to be a bit more compassionate with her as God knows what made her into what she is now.Maybe she is just as hungry for love as you are...If the relationship is hurtful,just don't get too close,but by all means be forgiving of her,she is old and lonely, and you are all that she have now.She does have a psychological problem,poor woman.
I'm so glad that you are moving forward and keeping your chin up! It will get easier each day!
What fun pictures! Looks like you had a wonderful time with your kids and grands! Pink nightie and all, the snowcream looks delish! I love the picture of your sweet little Abigail in your bed! I love nothing more than to snuggle with my little grandkids!
Hang in there, sweet friend!
Hugs,
Barb
You have lovely grandchildren, what fun and joy to have them around.
I am glad life is feeling good for you these days.
Hi Amelia, I just wanted to thank you for your comment on my blog post Harsh Realities. I still get mail for David and that's o.k. I'm used to that. It's the odd phone call that's so unexpected.
Well the geese seem to find food and shelter even though our lakes are frozen - I love hearing the geese come back. Can't wait for the warmer weather.
Hugs
Hi Amelia, I did not realize I commented 2x on you last post. I thought I did on this one. Sorry. I would like to tell you any card I do that speaks to you please feel free to take a copy. I will also create one just for you. I need to get to now you better. Because the images are not the people I create them for. They are just images I am able to paint while thinking about them.
I am so glad to know you are doing better. I am in your corner cheering you on. Because I know you will be whole and complete in time. It took me 50 years. I am now at say 80 percent. But I am learning each day. Self healing is what I am working on.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I've truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon! Patek Philippe Classics
