: Wonderful! That's good news for sure. You take care of yourself...I'm sending you a hug for luck and good blessings. (weasel hugs are magical....)
OH SUCH WONDERFUL WONDERFUL NEWS!!! Sorry I just had to shout in celebration. I really appreciate you keeping us updated, and letting us know your doing so good.
It was the deep freeze we had last week. She just didn't want to go outside. Now the snow is gone, the temp is up and she's back to practically living in the backyard. I can't live without a dog. I went through several months last year without one and was in a major depression.

... This will be my final post this is y I have no reason for any joy or happiness in my life... My entire world was taken from me today .. My grandchildren are no longer mine they r being adopted out in the state of Kentucky grandparents don't have rights so the state just stole our grandchildren and now they r going to sell them to another family who is probably going to abuse them ...so I won't be back I have lost all reason to live my life or try to enjoy it knowing I will never again be happy thank you all being here ... Goodbye y'all
OH NO! Please don't go....
I'm so sorry about what happened....

I honestly cannot fathom why KY does such things, but you're correct -- majority of the time, the judicial system don't care about grandparents rights, as well as some adopting families don't care about the grandparents rights either [doesn't help that KY is a commonwealth state]. (Thankfully, my parents never experienced this, for their lawyer fought for them, and the judge agreed, and was granted their grandparents rights. And once the boys were adopted to the couple who had them in their care, the couple still agreed seeing my parents was important for the well being the of the boys, so my parents still had their grandparents rights.)
I know it probably won't help or do any good to say, but once your grandchildren hit 18, if they want to see you and be in contact with you they will find you and re-establish a relationship with you. And I have had many friends who's children were (or are) in the system, or adopted (being adopted) to families, and as I suggested to them, I will suggest to you: buy notebooks for each child, and write letters to them into the notebooks. You can write that you love them, miss them; you can even tell them how about your day, for example, if you garden, tell them about the garden you have going and what you have planted; if you sing, tell them about a new song you're learning or enjoyin' and who sings it. . . hell, you can even write the lyrics to the song out. Draw them things, cut things out that remind you of them and tape them in it, color coloring pages and tape them into it too, etc. Make them journals, or scrapbooks, if you will. Once you fill a notebook, start a new one. Once they find you and contact you and set up a time and place to meet with and see you, hand them to them. It'll let them know that you thought of them daily and missed them daily. It's okay if you miss a day or two. And you can let them know, it's not that you don't love or miss them, but that it's okay to have bad days and take the time for self care.
There's not much more I can say or do, but I will have you and your family in my prayers.
, , I am working on my responses to your replies, but felt it was best to respond to Duane right away.

Just wanted to post this in case this offers any perspective. I can't speak from the viewpoint of a parent or grandparent, but I can relate from being a grandchild. One of the best things that my grandparents ever done for me was living a long life. I have both of my parents, but just due to circumstances, I was always shipped around from relative to relative here in the States, regardless of how close I was with them. Some were nicer than others. My grandparents live in another country so growing up, I didn't have many opportunities to see them or talk to them much. My family wasn't that well off so traveling to see them wasn't really something that we could afford to do. And even talking on the phone was hard cause of timezone and schedules. So I am grateful that they lived long enough for me to be old enough to visit them on my own when I was old enough. They lived their life well enough so that they could have stories to tell me and have things to relate to me about. And the key to living long is finding little pockets of strength and hope here and there. For them, it's knowing that they had family out there who may someday need them and reach out to them. There was an ocean between us, but their grandson was always in their heart. They tried to find happiness in simple things like talking to their friends or cooking. Not a lot. Just tiny pockets of being okay in between worrying and missing their family. I'm not saying to stay positive, but find a little bit of strength from somewhere. Maybe stick around here (or check in once in a while) so you at least have a way to occupy time and so your friends can be here for you. Or find something to keep you going. Because your grandchildren will need you. Stay strong. Or at a minimum, take care of yourself.
(Also, hi. I'm Jai, a ghost bear that hardly talks here. Stay rad.)

welcome! I agree with you, Duane needs to hear from us all. His hurting to the deepest part of his heart and soul. You need to take this to the public, pubic opinion in your area might make a difference. HUGS I am so sorry! I agree, I wish all bears had a contact bear. Can you reach out to Duane?
Waving at y'all! I guess I am in time for another holiday. Hope I can hang in here for some of it.
As long as there is breath in your body there is hope. Please stay with us.
Yes I am in the Dallas area. THe storm hit us really hard here. Was without electricity for most of three days. They did something they called a rolling blackout to give us all some electricity at least once a day. It was freezing in our house and we all huddled up to the fireplace and swaddled ourselves with blankets. Out pool was frozen solid and waiting for it to completely thaw out to see what damage has been done to the equipment..[I know... first world problem} My sister lives near Abilene Texas and they not only froze their butts off they have no water. The hunt is on to find water. The air force base near them is flying water in to Abilene, San Antonio, Houston and one other big area. We were lucky we had a gas stove and plenty of water. My heart goes out to those that lost their lives during this awful time. Some from fire, some from carbon monoxide poison and some just froze to death. It's heartbreaking and I am so thankful that we were able to get through it and were together as a family. I hope all of my fellow Texans on here weathered out the storm as well as we did.
Life is short... Count your Blessings, Love your family and friends and lend a helping hand whenever you can!
