Joining others in.... re-introducing myself

So nice to learn more about you! Wishing you the best woth family stuff...I know that is hard!

 

Your story with your daughter is heart breaking but don't give up hope. Someday your grandchildren might come and reach out by themselves and they'll be happy to know you tried all those years too. Good luck.

 

Oh Anne-Marie it's so nice to have you in our community. You've always been so friendly and helpful. I'll keep you and your daughter's family in my prayers. Sending BIG HUGS to you too!

 

It sounds like your community has some wonderful social opportunities. I hope things smooth out with your daughter.

 

I love these re-introductions! It sounds like you have a wonderful retirement life and I hope that your daughter and grandchildren will reach out and seek a relationship with you very soon.

 

Hi Anne-Marie! Sounds like retirement is working out just nicely! Glad to hear you recovered from the flood and loss of your home. So sorry about your daughter, I hope that you are able to reconnect with her in this new year.

 

Hello again Anne-Marie. Thanks for taking the time to re-introduce yourself.
I can empathize with the family stuff, there is a whole branch of mine that I haven't met with since before Covid. Sucks big time. We have to trust that reconciliation will happen one day.
Love that you're thriving in retirement.

 

Hi Anne-Marie! I am so glad to hear that you are loving your retirement community and that Ken is thriving with his wood working. I am so sorry regarding your daughter. Each person deals with grief differently and maybe she just needs this time to be alone. Don’t stop sending the cards etc… she and the grands will hopefully come around and be grateful you did not give up on them during their time of grief. Prayers for you and your family in the new year!

 

hi! I love these re-introduction threads. So nice to get to know a little more about the faces I've seen over the years. I'm so sorry about your daughter and grandchildren. I pray it will change for you in the new year!

 

Hi, Anne-Marie... the situation with your daughter is pretty hard.. Sending hugs and prayers...

 

Hello, Anne-Marie! It's nice to get to know you better. I am so sorry about your "situation", but you never have to lose hope. I'm sure they will realize that family is a very important part in our lives and will try to reconnect. Don't give up.

 

Hi Anne-Marie, it's lovely to get to know you a bit more! I am so sorry about your daughter's loss and distancing, I hope the situation will improve for you!

 

Nice to meet you Anne-Marie!

 

I'm so glad to see that you and Ken are settling into your new area after the flood. So sorry to hear about your daughter. Grief can make people not see straight. I pray that your relationship with her and your grandchildren can be repaired.

 

Wishing you and your family peace and healing. So glad you have scrapping to find some joy in. I always love seeing your creations.

 

Lovely to hear more of your story. Waving from across the Tasman.
