Tobi here...

Today created turmoil in my life both good and bad.
Our darling older son called early this morning, before eight A.M. to ask if he could come down on his day off from work to visit, since his Dad’s/Hubby’s birthday is this week.
And with joy in my heart and soul I asked when he would be leaving and I estimated his arrival time, a little over two hours from then.
He arrived just on time with a new car in my favorite color, blue, an eco friendly car that he said got over forty-four miles to the gallon; he had traded in his other car one that was not even a year old if I recall.
This was his fourth vehicle counting a workhorse truck and two motorcycles, one a Harley and one not.
He works hard for his money and he is not married but has his gal pal.
And at thirty-nine I am happy for him.
These last few years with his new girlfriend at least she has gotten him to travel quite a bit too, which makes me very happy for him and her.
Balance is what we all need in life not just work sleep and eat and over and over, again…
We all went out to lunch at the buffet that is now called the Hibachi Buffet in Port Charlotte, and for dinner we had what we had in the house. He left a little while ago and so that is why I am writing this now…

And on the other end of that spectrum our younger son, who is our estranged son, I Googled once again and found out that he got married for his second time at age thirty-five this past summer on July 23rd!
To say I was shocked would be a vast understatement; it almost gave me a heart attack!
I was, gosh, saddened, happy, miserable, and ecstatic and horrified all at the same time.
Hate is a HORRIBLE entity and to this day I have no idea what caused him to feel that way about all of us, his father, brother and me to not speak to any of us for all this time!
I almost did not write tonight.
But this is my forum for my many emotions, blatant as they may be some nights.
The reason it became a Google was by sheer chance, our elder son was showing us well, how the Google world site worked with zooming in on our homes, his north of Tampa and ours here, and I thought I would have it zoom in on his brother’s outside of the Miami area, but I couldn’t find the address… And so I Googled it and the wedding came up with the date and everything!
Then I found out that his bride was on Facebook, and so just before I started this I messaged her, letting her know that we knew about their wedding and to congratulate her and to contact us please.
Was that a bad idea?
Who knows… but what would you do?
We love both of our sons and want them in our lives!
Maybe this was a bad idea, i.e. my confession to all of you and I am almost sure it will not change anything sending that message to her.
And so, in reality what have I to lose, hmm?

On that crazy up and down type of day TMI, allow me to be the first to wish you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! (At least try to with number one son making that a wee bit easier to do)

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
