Talked with my brother this morning and he is better but he's exhausted and still has many worries about his life and the affects of my impact on him. I'm still very concerned for him and his health. I have promised myself to keep my life a far from him as I humanly can until I'm convinced he is feeling better. I know there are things that I can not help him with but I'll for sure do my upmost best to to help him.
I spent a couple of hours talking via a phone call last night with Kris about a lot of things with her and with me. It was a very good chat for both of us.
It is my oldest child's 24th Birthday today and I've spent a lot of time going over her life with wonderful memories. Her Dad wrote a beautiful emotional birthday greeting to her on FB this morning that brought tears of joy to me. He has never been an outwardly emotional man but he is changing since becoming a user of FB and I love it. I sent him a note saying how proud of his msg to our daughter I am and how moved it made me feel. He is and always has been a wonderful father to all three of our children.
It is also my sister in laws 54th birthday and I have to remember to call her this evening for my brothers sake. I don't really feel like it but there are some things we all have to do to keep the peace. My dislike for her is ever increasing and I really wish that I did not dislike her but it is what it is. She dislikes me as much as well.
I spent this morning doing a lot of research towards making my trip to visit Kris next spring. Some really good results but of course some not so good ones as well. I can get travel blue cross insurance so long as my health remains stable 3 months before I depart and I do not have any medication changes during that time. The cost as of today would be $830 bucks which I don't know if I can save up but I'll sure put my efforts into trying. It will cost me $160 bucks to get a new passport. My brother has told me he will be my guaranter and fill out the paper work when he returns from his England trip in 3 weeks time from now. It will also cost me $20 bucks to get passport pictures as well. So I'm a whole lot further in my research and knowledge than I was yesterday which pleases me greatly and makes me feel that I just might be able to visit my friend. Of course I'll have to save a bunch more money in order to have spending money for this trip as well. I now know what the parameters are and just have to work very hard to obtain all that I want for a successful and memorable trip. It's been many many years since I've been able to take a trip for myself and for my joyful well being.
