I'm so worried...

Cindy, prayers and positive thoughts headed your way.

Bill's a big help. His son is messed up, too - doping and dealing. Since Bill refuses to give Greg any money and threw him out, three years ago, Greg has cut off all contact.

Greg was growing peyote, in Bill's yard. We've worked too hard, to get and keep our home and we're not going to lose it, because of someone else's screwups.

Mark is NOT getting money, for his birthday. I won't help him kill himself. He's maintaining a low profile - he knows what he'll hear from me. Face-to-face, I can always tell when he's lying.

I wonder if Mark will show up for the ultrasound. Bill wants to go, too. He's decided that, if he's in love with a grandma, that makes him a grandpa. He's been checking out tricycles and battery-powered cars and motorcycles. We may have a problem, with him.

Excuse my rambling but, this situation, with Mark, has me a bit frazzled. Thanks, for listening.

Cindy, Bill is so wonderful! I'm so thankful you have him to help you through this. He'll make a GREAT grandpa. And that's just what they're there for - to spoil the grandkids. Sounds like he's going to do a good job of it!

Cindy, I hope Mark shows up for the ultrasound. It sounds like you have an incredible guy by your side, who is ready to be a grandpa. You may need to restrain him in toy stores. I hope everything works out for you and your family.

Cindy, you might have provided an update somewhere, but I missed it. I have a habit of reopening old sores, so if you've brought us up to date and this is "rubbing salt in a wound," I am SO, SO sorry. !!!!!!!!!! But I've been worrying about Mark and wondering...... I've kept Mark, you and the whole family in my prayers.

I so hope there's good news - or - even just news.

Thanks, Laurie. I haven't talked to Mark, since New Year's Day. Bill and I are going to Sam's ultrasound, tomorrow. We don't know if Mark will be there or not.

If not for upsetting Sam, I'd probably tell him off.

I'll let everyone know how the ultrasound turns out.

...but does this mean he has turned up, and you know where he is? (Or at least that he is safe?) ...Or have you still not heard from him? (Look of deep concern remains on my face.....)

As far as I know, he's staying with a druggie friend and still working. If Sam had found out anything else, she would have let me know.

What a relief! I know that's not happy news, but at least he's both alive and safe. AND still working!! One step at a time. Continuing to work is a GOOD thing!!!!!

Cindy, my thoughts are with you!!! I really hope Mark shows up for the ultrasound! That is such an important thing for the father to experience as well as the mother! I hope he comes to his senses soon!!! My prayers are with your family! Keep us posted! I may not be around for a few days but will check in when I am online next to see how the ultrasound went and if there is anymore news of how things are going with Mark!

Thanks, Debby. What I'd really like to do is give him a good, swift kick in the butt!

Just checking in....did he show up for the ultrasound?

No, Debby. I think that he's afraid of me.
