My package is very good. No sound at all. Went to 4H meeting ,supper and caroling with my son Brandan yesterday. Decorated the tree yesterday. Made doll quilt with granddaughter Kallie saturday. Went to Christmas concert at school today. Need to clean sewing room tonight. My granddaughter Kallie made a Christmas stocking today after the concert. Kallie likes to sew everytime she come to my house. If it isn't sewing it's baking. Last weekend we bake. She doesn't like grandpa very much because he gets after her because she makes a mess. It's just easier to clean up after her.

I knew it wasn't going to be a very Merry Christmas for the family but now this??????? I feel like there will never be happiness again.

Truepeach -
I hear you. Three years ago on the 19th of Dec. my son skidded off the road, down an embankment and totatled his brand new truck that he had only had for 6 months. He was sighted for a DUI. I was so upset, you cannot imagine all the things that went through my head. I had to keep telling myself that he was okay, it was on a vehicle. He has paid dearly for his mistake in insurance, fines and etc. He has done a lot of growing up since then and we are much closer as a family.

Thanks heavens everyone is okay and do have a Merry Christmas.

We are all here for you.

And the UK has that song "Greensleeves" that we in the US sing as a totally different song..(I just can't remember it right now)...

I hadn't a clue, either, I'm so sorry for both of them. There's got to be an end to the sorrow we've been feeling this year, hasn't there? Trupeach, if there's ANYTHING I can do...........please, please let me know?

After 2 surgeries she is still not healing. The doc don't know how to fix her and they never expected her to even live with the injuries she had. She has MANY medical problems. My son's accident just adds too all of this. I know the car could be replaced but with mounting medical bills (my daughter has no insurance) this is just and added expense. The crazy part is even if she has insurance the repair of her injuries would not have been covered. To try and make her look human is considered cosmetic surgery which is not covered by any insurance company.

So sorry this happen to your family and you and yourfamily are in my prayers.

OHHHH MY I didnt see what happened to your daughter!! Keeping her and your family in my prayers xoxoxoxo
