I've had a couple of friends reach out to me via pm wondering where I've been. Just want to say that I've missed being here but I've got my firstborn getting ready for her first year of college. She's been accepted to all of her favored universities and she and I have been making the rounds of visiting and educating ourselves on what is best for her.

While it is an amazing accomplishment for her and I'm so proud of her, it's bittersweet and frightening for me. I waited to have children almost to the point of not being able to have any. She was/is a preemie so I can't adequately explain how I feel as she goes off. I'm also a caregiver to my Mom - needless to say, when not with my daughter, I'm trying to make up for quality time with Mom and my son (yes I was blessed once again after my daughter ).

I do peek in and hope to be back soon playing around.

That is very cool Dalia, you must be very proud, we do miss you and now that we know you are still peeking in, we will be happy when you return.

Thanks molly

back!

Dalia, I'm so happy you being with us soon. As Conbagui says the most important thing is our family and so, invest quality time on your daughter is now the most important.

That's a lovely rose dinasset.

Definitely a big welcome back Dalia.

Hope you don't mind a little play with your rose dinasset.

Aww thank you everyone - you've brought tears to my eyes. My 'puter is essentially my eyes to the world so your comments molly, conbagui, issabella, Wallace, GnuTux and dinasset's and lylejk's roses has also brought a smile on as well. Thank you. Can't wait to be back full on.

Good to see you back!

Dalia
