FINALLY…
We are the proud parents of a new (well, to us anyway
) 2001 Ford Escort Sedan!! It’s actually very pretty…but I promised Jason that since it’s HIS car (not technically but he’s driving it…haha 
) that he could tell you ALL about it…so I won’t rain on his parade! 
Personally, I’m just very relieved that it’s all over!! I will say that we did finally get the bank to cooperate with us and we got 5.99% financing that we’d agreed upon…so that it VERY helpful…and we were lucky enough to have a very cool guy to deal with at the dealership, not your usual, run of the mill type of “salesman”…he’s the financing person for the website etc….but his personality is similar to mine and we clicked…which is rare.
Okay…I’m done with that subject now, I’ve probably already said more than I should’ve.
Sorry honey. 
On to a different subject…
This one is very sad for me, but I need to let it out. See, I’m very close to my ex-husband’s Mom and his grandparents (her parents). His Grandpa was diagnosed with cancer a while back and has had many treatments for it but, they have failed and he is now in a nursing home. The doctors have told the family that the cancer has spread and that he doesn’t have much longer to live. They are now making him painkillers and such to make him as comfortable as possible.
I can’t express exactly how much this deeply saddens me.
After losing my Grandfather this last Fall…this is just like going through it all over again. See, my ex’s Grandpa has ALWAYS been so kind and loving and just plain wonderful to me since even before my ex and I were married. I just fell in love with the man, especially since I wasn’t ever THAT close to my own Grandpa. This man just holds a VERY special place in my heart…and I hate the thought of him having to go through all of this 
…let alone the fact that his family is having to endure it all as well.
For those of you who pray, PLEASE pray that he will go quickly and peacefully so that he doesn’t have to endure any more pain than he already has and also for his wife of over 50 years, whom I fear may be just lost once he’s gone. She’s a strong woman, but even the strong ones need support after losing the love of their life.
I had to share all of this because it’s just been weighing very heavily upon my heart and I needed to let it out.
Thank you for letting me do so.
I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend…Jason and I are going to go out tonight and celebrate our first major purchase together.
It will be fun!

Its nice that you still keeping in contact with your Exs family ,so sad about his Grandad . When my Dad died he had been in hospital and then came home and was ok for a few weeks and then just suddenly something went and he died within 3 days so I know whats it like
I will pray that his suffering ends soon and that healing can begin.

YAY! vvvrrrrrrooooooommmmmm!

(I’ll include gramps in my prayers tonight)
So much going on on so many fronts. My prayers for the grandfather.
It’s so hard to watch someone you love suffer. I think it’s a wise prayer you have requested, and compassionate. I’ll join you in bringing this before the throne of God.
Have a wonderful time… I am glad that everything worked out!!!

I’m so sorry about your ex-grandfather. It is so hard when they tell you there is nothing left for them to do. It’s hard to just give up. I will be sending happy thoughts your way.
Congratulations on the new car!
I am so sorry to hear about your ex husband’s grandfather. I will pray for him to go peacefully.
I’m so sorry to hear about your ex-husband’s grandfather, from the sounds of it he’s very much your grandfather too. I wish the best for your family, especially your grandmother. I’m so worried about my grandmother these days since my grandfather died in December. But women from their generation are amazingly strong and although they will be very sad, they’ll make it just fine.
On the brighter side, congratulations on the car purchase! I’ve been thinking of doing that myself lately, but I’m just so scared to do it. So yay for you! Enjoy your weekend! I’ll be thinking of your family!
I’m sorry to hear about the cancer.That is really sad. Now the car was great. Let me tell you Mary and I bought a 2002 Kia New Years Eve. Well yesterday a lady hit me. She was so sorry and was really nice but damn it still looks bad with the dent. Oh well, job security for somebody. I told her I hated we had to meet by accident but glad everybody was ok and yes I only said one cuss word.Damn!!!
