Date Posted: 21:34:55 08/16/09 Sun In reply to: 's message, "Re: Well I'm in appleton........" on 16:10:41 08/13/09 Thu Thanks Tom, I'm living this continously challenged life. It gets a bit much at times. I am ready for a fresh start, but this has been very hard. I was his protector as much as he was mine. I feel lonely and sad without him and also not as safe as I did knowing he was around to discourage strangers. My goal is to get Billy in daycare, get a job and eventually get my own house. I'm sick of renting. I hope things will improve for me here. Ttyl, L >I assume this message was from Lilirish. Wow, what >mixed emotions.
