Hi Honeybun,

I’m so happy for you that you have such a good doctor! I think that will make it much easier for you…It’s so great to have a doctor who is compassionate!

Just take it one day at a time. I bet you won’t start to feel much different for awhile. And maybe by the time you get to that point you will feel a bit more confident. As I said before, when I first started my taper I screwed up alot and I was scared to death. Then at some point is just clicked and it was a whole different ballgame. I’m sure you will have that moment too.

I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother. I am really close to my grandma too. The difference is she lives 2000 miles away from me. I recently went to stay with her for a month after she fell and broke her arm. It was a great time that I will always treasure. I hope I will get to see her again, but she is 76 years old and in bad health, and if I don’t see her again at least I know I had that time with her to show her how much I love her.

And your son is graduating!!!! Congratulations!!!! I know that has to be hard. My oldest, a girl, just turned 13 this month and it was a big wake up call. I have a TEENAGER now! I don’t even want to think how soon she will be gone…it’s sad. But think of it this way, it shows how well you have done your job as a Mom. Our greatest achievement is when we see our little ones doing well and becoming independant, responsible adults. I know…easier said than done huh?

Keep positive Honey, you are going to do great!
