I need to clarify a couple of things from my previous post.
I try to be very careful of what I say. I try to remember that writing and email rarely come across as intended - for anyone. We can all read the same thing 10 times and have 10 different interpretations of what we read. I certainly don't want to offend anyone. I guess, maybe I do get a few digs in here and there - and you can take those as you will, I think I have too big of a heart to really tell anyone off. I would hurt myself a hundred times over before I could intentionally hurt anybody. If I do continue here, I will certainly be more conscious of that.
There is nothing, NOTHING, I love more than to have my family together for Jacob's birthday or any time for that matter. This year, we planned to downsize, a lot of things. Jacob's birthday included. All I had planned for was to have a simple dinner and cupcakes with Jacob's family that live close to us, as in nearby. I feel, that it's not right to have people coming and not offer a full meal - especially from out of town. Then if I include my whole family, I have to include Jeremy's whole family and then I have 25 people to feed! I simply didn't want to do it all this year. It was not my intention to make anyone feel left out. I'm sorry I didn't word that better.
I have to apologize to all of you. Those I have hurt with my words or my digs. I certainly didn't intend to hurt anyone. I feel horribly that I did. I never intended this blog to be a vehicle for that. I always wanted to be honest, from my heart and just plain real.
I'm going to take a break here, from blogging, for awhile. I need to decide how/if I want to write this blog going forward. Do I want to have a 'sunshine and roses' blog that gives you the shiny details of Jacob's life or do I want to continue to write from my heart? Do I even want to write at all?
I've enjoyed the friendships that I've found out here and I'll continue to read and comment (carefully) as I sort myself out. We'll see what the future brings for me.
My apologies and certainly my regrets,
Gail
