    For those of you who have not seen it, this is the notice I posted on the home page this morning.

    My emotions have been all over the place this month. I have been so confused and depressed over Sid’s placement and declining mental condition that I have been unable to gather my thoughts to write a coherent blog.

    Because I live in a warm, sunny climate, I have had no problem lining up Northern house guests to “babysit” my house while I take some time off to visit my son, who I have not seen in two years. I am hoping our visit will pull me out of my “funk” and reinvigorate my ambition.

    While I try to get my head together and heal my heart as much as possible, I invite you to look through my previous blog topics by using the “search” feature on the left side of this website. So many of them are relevant to whatever stage in which you and your spouse are navigating.

    I will be checking the message boards regularly, and as always, our message board monitor is on the job.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Joan, I have been worried about you. I can fully understand the depression. So glad to know that you are going for a visit with your son. You need to get away, and have a change. Please don't worry about us. You just do what you need to do for you. (((Hugs)))

    Joan, Enjoy your time with your son. You have earned this little getaway. Sometimes a break from our own home will invigorate and lift our spirit. I hope you enjoy every moment.

    Safe travels and get lots of rest. I know that you and your son are long overdue this visit.

    Joan I echo everyone's comments. Good for you for going to see your son!
    I fully understand your need to withdraw from this forum for as long as you need.
    Now is the time to put your health as the priority.
    I have to admit though I really miss you and think about you every day.
    This is a terrible disease that takes such a toll on us as spouses.
    I will be forever grateful you started this forum and to all the rest of you that participate.
    I would not be able to carry on without all of you.
    ((((hugs))))

    It is always good to get away from our problems for awhile. A good book could do it for me. Many ((HUGS)) coming your way.
