Hello to everyone. I know, I have been gone for so long. I apologize. We visited friends and family and the internet was so spotty, and so much going on. And when we got home, life kept happening. We have been dealing with so much including my handsome hubby applying for SSDI and working with the VA on things that need to be done. He has been diagnosed wit complex PTSD which has been extremely stressful for both of us because he has been relieving the ugliness of 3 years of stress. And at the same we have been trying to get several huge projects finished. And then his mom has become terminal (cancer). So life has been way too full for us both and the hours keep slipping away way too fast. But we have been and will continue to survive this and to continue to check items off the To Do List.

Wow Karen....you have certainly had a full plate.....will pray things will improve soon....

Thank you for checking in. I am so very sorry about the troubles you are having. Getting your DH help and trying to deal with the SSDI... monumental tasks! Helping him through his mother's diagnosis is hard enough on its own. Praying for you all. Know that you are loved!

Great to see you again. It is one of those things - life happens. Hugs to you.

So glad you are back. Life sure has a way of throwing those curve balls.

It is good to see you. You have your hands full for sure. Hope you ailments are contained as you did not mention them. Best wishes to you.

Oh Karen. It is good to see you back but not so good as to everything happening in your life. I am so sorry to hear about your husband's PTSD. My 9 and 10 year old kids that we are raising have been diagnosed with PTSD. They see psychiatrists monthly and counseling every two weeks as well as medications. We have been told that it will take constant vigilance and therapy for years. No easy fix. Will be praying your husband finds helpful treatment and finds relief. Also praying for you as I know his disease also affects you. Sending hugs.

Sorry about all the problems happening in your life. Stop by when you can. Sending prayers to all.

So lovely to hear from you Karen. I'm also sorry to read of all your trials you are facing. I know you have a strong faith and that this will carry you through the future. I can empathise with you re the PTSD someone in our family has had issues with it and it takes a while to overcome. I do hope your work projects can be relieved too and also prayers for your dear mother in law. With loving thoughts and prayers for you all. Love Chris
