It's been a long time since I've posted anything.  My boys had their 13th year ritual last Sept.  It was wonderful.  The four directions were represented by important males in their lives.  There were some family missing that would have made the day more special but by and large it was something they will always remember.

On a down note.  Pam made the move from Tucson.  Things haven't worked out as I had hoped it would.  Our two families didn't merge together.  My focus in this life time is on my children and my spiritual faith.  Passing it on to my children and keeping our family out of the "broom closet" is very important to me.  Once it became clear that this wasn't their focus and that things weren't going to work out as I had hoped, we commited ourselves to supporting the local Pagan community.  We also became very involved with our local Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.  In the U.U.F. we have found people that we have been able to bond with.  They have become very important to us and give us an opportunity to have an extended family.

I don't know where the relationship with Pam and her family is going.  It saddens me to think about it so I admit I don't.  We were brought together because of Paganism and now that Paganism isn't important to her it seems as though we don't have a connection anymore.  I had thought we would be little old ladies living in the same house growing herbs and working on our "witchy" stuff, I don't know where our friendship will go now and rather than think about it I just avoid the whole subject.  They are now thinking about moving again.  I know this isn't what I want but without her and her boys involved in our family religion there doesn't seem to be enough to keep her here. 

Anyway baby brother Roger is visiting and I'm going to go catch up with him.
