I need a wife! Why?:

My dear friend was here today to pick up her precious little boy from my care and I clung to our verbal exchange as if she'd just rescued me from drowning (just kidding); oh, to actually have an adult conversation was like the oxygen I'd been deprived of for so long!

Lily is some better, and came home yesterday. I'm trying to settle in for the long haul, and I need to address everyone's needs. Tricky.

But, I believe it will all be OK. It'll take time, and our future looks different than it did a few months ago.

I have to thank you for the book recommendation on your blog. I've been reading the Bipolar Kids book - and am so grateful for how much of our lives I see in these writings. Holy cow! This describes Lily, right down to the red ears.

And finally, thanks for hosting my blog on your page. I'll get writing again, and probably feel much better for it.

Hope this finds you well and happy - have a lovely weekend!

We have an official group! Children with mental health disorders. Look for it under the groups tab and join! I'm ecstatic to have the link to your twisted stitches blog and am looking forward to cathing up on your world. Hope you're having a peaceful day.

I'm hopelessly impatient - please forgive me. I've just created a new group for us, Children with Mental Health Disorders. It's awaiting approval, but then hopefully we can connect with many others in the same situation. When it gets approved, I'm hoping you will add your thoughts and ideas.
Thank you,
Suzy
