Popping in for a moment. It was a tough evening after hearing the news about Robin Williams. 
I actually had the opportunity to meet him. That's me and him in my avatar circa 2008. Hubby scored tickets for the Meet and Greet as a birthday present for me that year. I feel blessed to have that memory
. I got a kiss (on the lips!!!!) and just before the photo OP he did a mini dancing with the stars bit with me. A memory I will treasure even more now.
He is my very favorite entertainer and the world has lost a brilliant mind for comedy. He was an amazing dramatic actor too.

It was very sad news indeed. He brought a lot of joy but the sadness was always there in his eyes. His sensitivity to emotions is what made him comedically brilliant and good and dramatic roles. It's something most comedians don't have. He was a unique talent and very gifted.
Morning y'all. Kind of a tough week here. My DH is working quite remotely this week and next. Building a 911 center in a quiet zone. Quiet as in no cell, no wifi, no communication. Got to talk to him for about 10 minutes last night when he came out of the quiet zone to do grocery shopping. Not sure when I might hear from him next. At the same time, the eldest is fabricating stories to stay out of the house and away from the pile of work that needs to be done in the next two weeks in order to move. She has been half hearted in the effort for many weeks now, and it leaves us wondering whether she will be moving with us or not. In the mean time, I must be extremely mindful of my P's and Q's so that she cannot do what I suspect will be her next move.. Start World War 3 style fight with me and the youngest so that she can have that "excuse" not to move. It is a style of goodbye she learned from her mother. God help me. My DH will be home for the weekend, then back out to the quiet zone for another week until he comes back for the final move. Y'all please pray for me and my youngest, would you?
Thanks Jeff and Robin. So far, quiet on the eastern front. She hasn't been home. ;-) Wondering if she Will come home tonight, or if she will pretend that her daughter just wanted to stay one more night at "gram's"?!
Thank you everyone for your prayers. I will try to give a short update daily, until everything shakes out. As for now, she is still at her mom's house and hasn't tried to communicate with us.
I'm guessing that she is an adult child of your husband?
If so, try not to worry about how she is going to be. It is difficult, I Know, but at some point you do have to let go, and let God take care. I have had to do that with my Own child. They are remarkably equipped to handle things on their own if we can find the courage and strength to let them.
I realize it's even tougher with steps.
The above is looking at it from a parents point of view
This is looking at from the child's point of view. She may be conflicted by having to choose one parent over the other. Which place she will be living at and who would feel the least hurt by her not being there. There are too many emotions to deal with and the first survival instinct is to bury ones head in the sand. 'If I'm not acknowledging or helping, maybe this won't come to pass.'
I do feel for you and wish I had some concrete advice.
All I can do is support YOU in whatever happens.
