I have been gone a long time! I am very lazy about blogging and sometimes I feel as though what I have to say most of the time is so serious! I can be funny really. Well, my life changed once again and I found myself caring for my Ex- mother-in-law while she was dying with cancer. Sometimes you have to look at the big picture in life. My mother-in-law, Dorothy Bradford, showed me love and loved my children. She deserved to die with dignity and love all around her. She left me with some things I will always love. She is the reason that I LOVE Dove soap! She always kept a pink bar of dove soap at the kitchen sink and while she cooked she would always wash her hands with that soap. It looked so creamy and wonderful and smelled incredible! I only use Dove soap to this day :) She made this wonderful hamburger vegetable soup and I still make it to this very day. Every time I make it, I think of her. I even made it in her final days with us. She was my children's granny and to bring her here was out of love and respect. I wanted to show my children that no matter what the circumstances, do what is right. Dorothy passed away in March and we were right here with her to the very end. Steve just stayed. We have been divorced 9 years now, but for some reason we are just hanging out together. Right now it just feels right. We are good friends and the kids enjoy having him around. And yes, he is not married anymore. He and his wife divorced in December.
