I dreamed we all were eating a pizza I was 9 yrs old. For one second it was gold

My parents already had big marital issues a kid would not understand nor should about that.

My parents divorced soon after that, then the years of quiet & not so quiet despair. My rotten brother really really needed a firm presence, our Mom could *not* do that. He got into much much much legal trouble & served many many many years of deserved prison time.

My father died in August 2011, I only learned of it because his brother tracked me down one Saturday afternoon. I told my mom & the rest of them a week later.
Last time all of us 5 kids & my Mom were in the same room was the day before Mom passed.

BTW, I just made sloppy joe's for breakfast. LOL

I'm not always awake when you post your breakfast thread, but I think of you daily when I begin stuffing my face.

2. I am sorry to hear that, but wish you all the love and support you need now and ahead

Best wishes for you going forward. Where we start does not lock in where we can go or finish. May the road rise to meet you ahead.
