You just have to have faith that all of your friends and family will live a long life. Think happy thoughts. 

Great job on the biking. And congrats on your wedding rings fitting. I reached that point too and now I wear one size smaller! :) 

wow , that is awesome the bike ride ,, and the emotional part .. is to be expected as ,,, you did go back into time sorta ,,, same thing happens to me when I went back to visit my parents ,, Mom always treas me as her little girl ,,, giggling you-ll be fine .. some days are made for crying .. some days made for building Memories some are for the past ,,, just take care of yourself <3 sweet dreams <3  

I'm glad you're able to spend time with your mother. I lost my mother in 2012 and my father in 2013. It was a one-two punch. We didn't always get along - some of that was on me - but I wish I had focused more on the positive aspects of our relationships now that they're gone. 

Kris, you know you can do this gal, you're almost there! You're going through a lot too, & I admire your sticking to it & staying focused through it all. I know it's so hard to go back home & be treated like a child again. But it's hard for some Moms to let go, especially when their children are having some hardships, they easily revert to the Mom & little girl syndrome, & that's not always such a bad thing. It's best if you can just try to cope & stay in a good humor about it if possible. YAY 4 U on your wedding rings! I haven't been able to get mine off easily for years, but I don't take them off anyway so no big deal. It's nice just to know again that I can if I want to though, hee hee. Mine are still a bit snug, but would come off if I tried, so I'm happy for that. Keep at it, let's do this!
