Snogg I am so happy that things are going better. And that your son is back home, is the best thing there can be for a mother. And everybody will have courage again when you are together fighting against the problems. For when your are back together, there is much strenght in the family and the spirit is better. Snogg also take care of yourself. Big hugh from me. Selma, thank your for your warm words. Your are right. Here on Ioanzone we can relieve our feelings. Here everybody listen and give you courage and strenght. In the outside world, there is no more time for each other. Life is so hasty that there is no more time for breathing and for a listening ear. Yes your picture says i all. And thanks for the flowers.

I would just like to say a huge THANKYOU! to each and every one of you wonderful Zoners. You have no idea what it means to me, that you have made this place such a good place to be.You all make the Zone and while Welshboy is a catalyst, we go far beyond him. Long may we appreciate each other and share our joy in his work! :pink ellie :breakdance :love: :pink ellie :breakdance :love: :pink ellie : :breakdance :love: :pink ellie :breakdance :love: :pink ellie :breakdance :love: :pink ellie :breakdance :love: :pink ellie :breakdance :love: :pink ellie :breakdance :pink ellie :The General:

And, I send my regards right back to you. ---------- IZONE is the place to be!!!!!!!! Feel so glad to have you all here---YOU'RE THE BEST!

Update
Greetings to all my Zone friends! I thought it was a good time to update this thread a bit. Hubby and skin growth is doing VERY well. He has to change his lifestyle, and we may re-think retiring in New Mexico (too much sun), but those are easy things. And hats... lots of hats!!! :applaud: My son is a bit more communicative. He ended up with OK grades, but he once had great grades. Just hope he can get into school, cause he does want to go to college. He JUST turned 18 and we were afraid he would move out (he is NOT ready to do that!) but so far there is sort of an unspoken agreement to tolerate us. :roll: Still, I am happy with that! My daughter didn't get into her last school, but all things for a reason... She is in a summerstock production of Aida. It is her first experience with professional actors/directors, etc. and she loves it and they love her. She really feels this is what she wants to do. Then, while checking out a future school, she caught the eye of the admissions dean. After an unplanned interview, a visit with the head of the theatre department and an impromptu audition (Thank goodness for CD players) , they worked to get her into their school. She hadn't even sent in an application yet! After feeling nothing but rejection for months, this is a nice (and well deserved) turn of events for her. Her last show is August 17th and her first day of classes is the 25th of August. My problem is now how much I will miss her! :???: You have all in your quiet ways, kind thoughts, words and prayers, helped me get to this point . I know the road will still get rough, but thank you so for your support! Love you all!!! :bye:

Glad to hear things are going better for you Snogg. It's great that your daughter has gotten into a school that she is excited about and being in Summer Stock is an incredible experience for a young actor.

It's good to hear things are going better for you, Snogg. Congrats to your daughter for her being in a production of Aida and her admission to a new school.

It is nice to read that things are looking up. :hug

I'm so relieved for you, snogg and very excited for your daughter! It will be a great support to her in a new place with many challenges to know she has such love behind her. I suspect your son knows it too, deep down; he'll just take a little longer to realise it. You do miss them terribly.... Scott was only sixteen when he started his Army training, and although it meant I knew he was fulfilling his ambitions and not getting into trouble, I missed him achingly - still do, but I know I'll see him even less now he's going to be a Dad! :hug snogg.; we'll all get through it together!

Hello Snogg, So glad you updated the thread. Had been wondering how things are going. Am happy for you on ALL counts! Know it makes you feel relief in many respects. I'll continue to wish all of you well. Love, Ship

Can't get over how much I love you all!!! :hug Snogg :Horatio wink:

Right back at'cha,Kiddo!
