I am completely and totally overwhelmed and humbled.
My mailman just made our delivery for today and the memorial book is absolutely gorgeous. WOW
It has been a very difficult few days. Stone has been with Virgil's parents this afternoon and will go to Virg's sister's house today. I want to hold a grudge and just can't. It isn't fair but it hurts so bad to have people treat me so ugly and not help with any of the cr** I am having to go through to have to get things Stone should receive as a beneficiary through Home Depot because their HR department says there is no beneficiary listed. I think they lost everything because I had filled out the papers myself. UGH...... Clerk of Court won't let me open the estate on Stone's behalf because t has not been 90 days. It is okay - it is just stuff.
Then I have my wonderful sweetbaby angel who made his dad a card yesterday when he made his others. I tell you my nerves stay so tore up that I have been taking Xanax today.
My mom had gotten out our stockings last week to be hung tonight after we celebrate Jesus' birthday ----- well I was looking for something today and I found Virgil's stocking that says Daddy on it (he was always so proud of that stocking as he was 41 when he became a dad for the onlly time) ---- we still hung one every year for him with ours because he usually spends Christmas eve night here with Stone so we can be together as a family. Needless to say it just about killed me. But I changed my shirt because of all the blubber I wiped on my sleeves. (LOL)
Today, I was making the Happy Birthday Jesus cake and Stone was helping. He asked me to make one for his dad's mom-----girls, how could I tell him now. I never knew I was capable of letting so much roll off my back and being the better person.
But look what God has bessed me with---an awesome group of women that have supported me and my son and loved us right where we are at and I am so totally and truly honored to be in the presence of such great women.
You have filled a void in my heart and my spirit that I can not even find the words to describe.
Each and every one of you embody the spirit of Christmas and the love that came down to us that day. Even when we didn't deserve it - Grace found us. In a very similar manner - I found you, my DIS family.
I don't deserve to have such wonderful people in my life such as you but I am so glad that you are there.
I am eternally grateful.
Susie

I'm glad it arrived - I can't believe it got there so fast! I'm really glad that you are happy with it. (Of course, I need to change my shirt now, too. 
) Enjoy your Christmas and know that Virgil will be there with you, regardless of what is happening around you.

Oh, good. I'm glad it got there in time for Christmas. I know how difficult it is to celebrate without loved ones who've passed away, but I hope you and Stone have the happiest Christmas possible.

God bless you, Susie and Stone. I'm so glad the book made it for the Holiday.
I wouldn't let Virgil's family dampen your spirits or harden your heart. You are kind, generous and forgiving and you don't want to change, especially for Stone's sake. He will be looking to you now for guidance in the way he should treat people. Just remember that as terrible as his family may be, they gave Virgil to you and in turn he gave you Stone. So no matter what, you have the greatest gift of all in Stone.
I hope you hung Virgil's stocking up. I think Stone would like that and you could put the card that he made in it.
Hugs Sweetie!!!! I hope tomorrow goes as smoothly as it can. And know that we will be thinking of you.

I'm so glad you received the package... and know that Buffy put into words exactly what I wanted to say! Thanks Buffy!
We will always be here for you... and know that what you are letting roll of your back will be very beneficial to Stone in the future.. He will remember this and in turn do the same towards others. You'll waste a lot of energy holding the anger in...and in the big picture their pettiness is nothing for you to worry about... Love Stone and Love every moment you have with him.... and remember fondly the times you spent as a family and even as friends with Virgil... those are memories and moments his family can never, ever take away from you!!

I add my voice to - "the pages look so great" and thanks to Mickster for organizing and putting the book together. Fabulous effort and wonderful outcome!
Susie - when times are particularly "tough" may the book be an uplifting way to remember there are lots of "friends" rooting for you! Hang in there.
