Hi, David! I have a wonderful son named David... my dad's name was David and one of my half-brothers name was David and I think he has a son, grandson and great-grandson named David! Popular name, eh? At least in my family.

You know... I've been where you are. My husband and I split up about 7 years ago and shortly after that, my son moved in with him. He was the last in the nest. So, I didn't only lose my husband, but my nest was completely empty. It took me a while before it all came crashing down on me, but I guess I'm just now coming out from that particular tunnel.

My husband has come back, but only as a room-mate. yeah right! I still take care of him! But during all these years I've lost everything a little at a time until I had nothing... Absolutely Nothing! My oldest son bought me this tiny mobile home I'm living in, but my car quit running. I had to depend on neighbors to take me grocery shopping, etc. For an independent person, it was pure hell for me. The only thing that got me through was the Serenity Prayer:

<center>God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change the things
I can, and the Wisdom
to know the difference.</center>

Hope it helps you as much as it did me.
