We have come to this...

So, tomorrow, we are moving Stacy's dad into his new place at Woodstock Estates Assisted Living. It's a bit of a relief but also a bit sad. You see, this is the final step for him. He won't live on his own again. Sure he will get the care needed, but it's just knowing this that makes it difficult. A couple of things have happened that I have not shared, mainly because forget to. He has really gone down hill over the last two weeks, since his trip to the hospital. He hasn't taken his medicine on a regular basis and it really shows. Last night, he told Stacy and I we were the best parents he ever had, in a very child-like voice. It is getting hard to watch and to live with. With all of this, you can imagine the burden that this brings.

So, you compound this with having to take care of Megan, and you understand our happiness with getting the nurse. The stress is getting to be a bit more than we can bear. I speak mainly of Stacy because as much as I can relate with the trials and struggles with Megan, I can't tell her "I understand and know how you feel.", when it comes to her dad. It's her dad. It is getting to the point where I feel that Stacy is going to have a nervous breakdown or a panic attack. I pray for strength, wisdom and peace beyond all understanding, not for myself, but for Stacy. I, too, have been really at wits end recently. I'm trying so hard to put up this front, that nothing is out of control and that I am totally keeping calm about it. It's a front people. I'm a mess inside. When gaming online, I am not really myself. That is JollyRoger, not Jim. Crazy, I know, but it's true. I dive into the gaming as an escape.

As far as prayers go. I pray for 2old2play constantly. I pray for Jay, Derek, Brian, Jeff, Matt, Tammy, Rodney, Tim, Corey, Steve, Melissa, Emily (I don't know everyone's name, otherwise I would list you all individually) and all who make 2old2play a great place for me.  I pray for LB and wife's recovery and the twins, I pray for Rashanii and his family. Yes, Steve, I even pray for you and your upcoming wedding. :) I pray that the ugliness that goes on here, from time to time, would go away. I pray  that the stresses from running a site would subside, and that the fun, enjoyment of 2old2play, would increase. I pray for the clans I belong to. 2old4duty, Wheezin' Geezers, Old Man Mafia, 2old2play and Profanity. I pray that if anyone has any requests that He hears them and answers them. You all have no idea, or maybe you do, how much you mean to me personally and to my family. I just want you all to know I pray for you. I will continue to pray for you.

Load lifted, rambling done.
