..thanks to God's faithfulness and goodness I am up for the task!

Last night my DS Jeff was in a wreck with my truck. After a grueling day at work, we were helping my Supv. move from her home...(her daughter is Jeff's GF)....in a sudden deciscion that she had enough in a terrible abusive, relationship. He was driving my truck,(you remember I just got it 2 months ago)loaded, when he had a blowout on an unfamiliar winding road, and lost control and careened down an embankment. There were two trees, all alone that the truck came to rest on the passenger side against. God planted those two trees there, or he would have rolled over and over forever and probably have been killed.He has not so much as a scratch.......! Mom however was a basket case! When I saw that truck there, I threw up...if anything happened to one of my kids I don't think I could survive, but I guess you pull it from somewhere. I was not able to get a hold of Rick until late this afternoon. If you could see this truck you would know what a miracle this is.....! I had only the basic Insurance cause it was an older truck........it will pay nothing and I owe 9 more payments. The towing was $200.00 and it had to come from my "Ladybug Savannah fund".....but you know what? If it wasn't for my love of you all there would have been no fund!! All will work out, and my DS is ok, except for his pride, and God will take care of that too! My darling Rick, when he found out, after knowing Jeff was ok, laughed and said, "it's was just a "gopher truck" anyway"!!

I swear you guys...you must get sick of my saga's....I swear I couldn't make this stuff up!! The bad news is I smoked after 1 month.....but I am working on that also as things calm down.

I appreciate and need your continued support and prayers. I love you and miss you and promise to keep in touch. I will try to catch up. I may not know all that is going on with all of you, but I pray for you daily, and GOD knows all......

Hugs!

Sharon

Oh, Sharon. Thank God he is okay. So sorry about your truck. I can understand with all the stress that you had to smoke. But don't do like I do with eating and say "Oh well, I blew it. Might as well give up." You have done so great and I know you will get back on track. You have really had your trials lately. I hope thing turn around soon. You have my prayers.--Pat

Thank God Jeff is okay. I hope you will be okay, too. I'm sure you will find a way to recoup your Ladybug fund--the $$$ you would spend on a pack of cigarets a day is a start. I will pray for you that you get to Savanah. Kathey

Oh my gosh, I wish I could be there to give you a hug right now. Bless your heart, it never seems to end does it?! I too am so very thankful that your DS is okay. So sorry though to hear about your truck. God is always looking out for you every day, and was there to help your precious son.

Now take deep breaths and settle down. All will be okay. Throw away those nasty cigarettes again and keep building on that Ladybug fund. You *need* to join us and meet us and we want to meet you too. Continue taking good care of yourself dear friend.

~~~Big Hugs, Susie

Hugs,

Hugs to you Sharon because I know that you need them.

Sometimes it seems like it never stops, have been there myself and know what you are feeling but also like yourself I look for the positive side in things and the angels were watching over Jeff and saw that he came out of it ok.

You can replace the truck and you can get back to not smoking, so hang in there and don't worry about bringing your problems here, between the Ladybugs and God we'll get you through these times.

Keep in touch and take care of yourself.

Yes, Sharon, you were sent here for a reason. Thank heavens you are a "bug". Happy your son is all right. You surely are being tested.

(((Sharon))) You surely have been tested. It gives me chills to think of what may have happened. I have so many friends who have lost children that it is uncanny. I am so glad you didn't have to go through that. Your DS is alive and that is all that counts. We want you to come to Savannah...so put that goal in your mind! OK?

I am praying for you.

Hugs, Shari

Oh, dear me! Sharon, you have had more than your share of sh···tuff go wrong. Prayers for you and yours that this trend ceases right now!

Thank the good Lord that your DS was unharmed physically. It must have scared the bejesus outta him!

Sorry you needed that cigarette - but under the circumstances it was understandable. Now, just get back on the program!! The secret to success is that you not quit quitting!

Extra hugzzzzzzzz for you too, dear Ladybug!

I can't think of a thing to say the rest of the Ladybugs haven't! To tell the truth, you've been through so much..I keep thinking of a song some female rocker sang.."Hit me with your best shot..fire away"...you've been remarkably strong and courageous...very special thoughts and hugs are with you....TJ
