Thanks for the kind words about my family. I have been truly lucky through out the years. It hasn't been without issue for sure, but who is perfect. We move on...

Oh believe me, the bickering has been there as well. There was a time I felt so sorry for my mom. I was even more worried about her than my dad for a while there. But God Bless her, she truly has come to understand it's the illness causing him to snap at her. But the more time passes the less and less he is likely to do so. She is worried about him and being the typical Greek, she is on to him about eating. He is very thin, and this worries her. I try to tell her not to do this, and when he is hungry, he will let us know...and he does. At least he is craving for certain things and that is progress. He was never a big eater to begin with anyway. What makes me happy is to see the color on his face and the new found positive attitude. I have never seen him so positive before in my life.

As for Sofia, it was tough because I had to be like a drill sergeant for awhile with her. I told her from the beginning I was going to be in order for her to get her life together so she can get her daughter back. It was a difficult thing for me to do, but it was the only way at that time. Now I have to let her go and hope some lessons were truly learned and hopefully, she will apply them in her everyday life. Time will tell. But I believe God has surpassed all understanding and I am so glad He did that with our family!

I love you all alot!

Cheers,
