Sorry I didn't respond -- your IM was hidden behind Outlook -- I'm getting organized again. How would you get to Springfield? I sure would like to be able to visit you and Elena a little over the Holiday weekend, especially since you are having Thanksgiving and your Dad's. I really want to talk with you -- you said you wanted to talk with me about where you want to live....I don't know if that was a passing thought or if you still are thinking the same thing. I want & need (legally) to know what you're planning. Are you talking to any counselor? I'm going to try to go to Church on Sun......Grandpa goes early because he has volunteered to drive people in his van. I think the service is at 10:30 -- is that right? I need to find a ride. I guess according to your plans you won't be there? I love you. We need to talk. Tomorrow I'm cleaning up Elena's room and moving the boxes of stuff in there (cats are forbidden from both your bedrooms -- I keep the doors closed always.) Then I'm going to ask Grandpa to help me measure your room and figure out where to put the furniture while I work on your room -- the actual work will not begin for a couple weeks because I have scheduled each day for 2 weeks in terms of cleaning this place like it was before, and better. Please be thinking about what you want the bedroom to be like -- so you have a safe, clean place you can visit and kick back if you want, surrounded by whatever decor is "you". When it's time, I'll ask Grandpa to take both of us to Lowe's and we will look at paint colours and you can think about what kind of floor you want, etc. I'm hoping you will come on weekends and we can redo your room together so you can tell me what will make you comfortable. I love you, Bronnie. I pray for you every day. Mom
