Every man needs a woman when times are tough because just like the game of chess: The Queen protects The King!

I noticed I haven't blogged in a month! I figured this may be a good time for writing, because I have a lot on my mind that has been bothering me, and the best way to get it off my chest without directly saying it to someone would be to just write it all out, then I can stop thinking about it, and can indirectly vent about it!


So if you don't wan't to "hear about it", just "X" out now ;o)


I find it pretty upsetting that Jon will have been gone for 3months come August 22nd, and yet My mom and I are the only ones to have sent him any carepackages. It's funny you know, how people always blame others for why their relationship with certain people is coming to a stand still, but really, if you'd look at yourself, maybe you'd realize it's all your own doing. At the same time, I do realize Jon rarely communicates with certain family members, so that may be their reasoning for not bothering to send their brother/son anything, but keep in mind this has been a long time coming. Jon has slowly been pulling himself away from you all, if you notice it didn't come over night, it's gradually gotten worse over time. It's not because he doesn't love you, but rather because he doesn't feel you respect him, or his 'new' family. I see how much it hurts him, and it kills me knowing he's going through this battle.

Another thing is, this is the third time Jon has left in 2years, and not once has anyone asked "Denise how are you doing?" "Do you need anything" "How are the kids" "Is there anything you need", not anyone but my parents. I remember hearing the quote "Is blood really thicker then water" and thinking and realizing that Blood has proven not to always be thicker then water. Friends have become my family, where as certain family members have proven to be less then friends.

I am truly grateful for the way my Mom and Dad have accepted and Love Jon like their very own. They know everything about him, our relationship, maybe a little too much, the good, and the ugly, but guess what, those two would do ANYTHING for him, me and the kiddos.
