This week has been such a challenge. . . mom's birthday, the anniversary of finding her, the news story, spring break for Dane, Shannon & Ridge's birthdays. Definitely am emotional roller-coaster.

Thank you to all of my wonderful friends and family who offered words of encouragement, lended an ear to listen, etc. You guys rock! I could not imagine surviving this week without each of you.

Dane being home this week has probably saved me. I have to be mom 1st; I cannot allow myself to get lost in all the emotions happening now. Have I ever mentioned he is the greatest son???

Back to the news interview, I was interested in what Capt. Barbee had to say. I want to call him today for further explanation. You know you can only say so much on TV . . .
