I found an ex boyfriend on facebook I haven't seen in years and started to talk to him about Tony. I was having a hard time lately and he gave me his ear so to speak. It only lasted for a couple days. I don't like to open up too much because then I can't stop. Tony was an extra ordinary person and people sometimes think you are saying all these wonderful things about your loved one because you're their mother. That's only partly true. If the person wasn't so special you wouldn't be going on and on. I don't think so anyway.
Solange left for California on tuesday and I was so afraid. I was afraid something would happen to the plane or her and it didn't help that driving to the airport on the less than 1 hour drive I saw 2 car accidents. She made it to Nashville and then Oakland safely and she's OK. She's having alot of fun so she says. And she won't be back until the first week of August. By then I hope to have enough or be close to being able to move.

Divorce in 2009

It's been a long time comin' but I have to come clean. LD is divorced. Courtney filed for divorce a few months ago and it's final. They have split. From what I hear she had planned it before the wedding but didn't want to disappoint her parents after they had spent so much money and so went through with the wedding. It did have something to do with the economy, LD was trying to get a full time 9 to 5 but there aren't many jobs to be had out there. He was on a list for Lowes considering his dad works there and as soon as the hiring freeze lifted he would be one of the first considered. LD also worked side jobs, landscaping, drywall, laying floors and such even going out of town to do some of this work days at a time but that wasn't enough. You name it he did it. He even worked seasonally for UPS. But she went the extra mile and divorced him saying once he learns his lesson and grows up she would take him back. She told me she would leave him if he didn't "hurry up and find a job" and that it was "so much easier for a man to find a job than a woman" that she would leave him. This was just after the wedding. I thought she was venting!!
She works for a body shop but it's a job her mother got her and her boss is a friend of the family!
The bills were being paid, not even her girlfriends could understand why. She had to post in bold print on "MySpace", "NO HE DID NOT CHEAT ON ME!" Everyone knew he was a "catch".
Whatever happened to "in sickness and health, richer or poorer...."
I'm sorry. I know my son and we've had some long talks. He took his vows seriously but she proceeded to rob him both emotionally and materially, to go back to someone you can no longer trust?
He never cheated on her and treated her like a Queen, never laying a hand on her, never calling her a name, telling her he loved her and how beautiful she was everyday, even cutting the meat off the bone when he served her her meals. He spoiled her ridiculous.
I hope he finds someone who is more humble next time.
