I tried to post this morning but blogger ate my homework....

Alot of fellow bloggers have complained about the posts that just vanish into thin air never to be seen again, and thats what happened I guess. It wasnt a great post anyway.

I want to blog about my mom. She was crying on the phone yesterday, she is lonely and depressed. You have to understand my mom. She was always the loner, in high school she was voted the quietest. She never has made friends easily and never has really tried to make friends through the years. When I lived in Virginia, I spent alot of time of her, shopping and going to movies, or doing stuff with the kids. When she married my dad, he was very outgoing, had lots of friends and could make friends quickly. In fact in social settings he was the life of the party so to say and mom would just bask in the glow of his outgoingness (I know thats not a word but its hard to explain this) and sit quietly. So she really has no friends, I am not there to spend time with her. My brother goes over a couple of times a week, and my kids are going out and doing stuff, have fun and working and havent been there since my last visit. It breaks my heart to hear my mom cry like that but I really dont know what to do. At church it was suggested that maybe some of the senior widow ladies could be roomies and share a house but she was VERY offended at the suggestion and says she doesnt want a roomate. I dont know how to help her and the fact that is she is quiet but she is very stubborn and set in her ways! She also has developed some paranioia lately which makes matters worse.

Anyway I am just venting. Blowing off some steam She misses dad, I miss dad.
