I have been away for a while so I wanted to intro to those of you who wonder who I might be-
I am Meme or some times Oma too who signed on as papa's wife when the board originated
Papa hubby lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on July 21-2008 and a lot of these wonderful members walked with us on our cancer journey
I just sort of tuned out for the last few months because it is a hard walk learning to be a widow-
I will keep my name as papa's wife as that is still who I am
I am trying to regroup and decide what to do with all our stuff etc as most of the stuff I do not need as a single old woman
sigh
papa was a keeper-
the general house is doing ok considering that I have a teen age grand daughter who lives with me
she is a squalor girl but seems content to be that way
we manage to confine her stuff to her bedroom which was my spare room which means I now have more stuff in the other rooms but so far it is contained
if you do not open a door or a drawer or etc-
I will be back more on the other boards but did want to say hi to the new folks and let you know that it is not impossible to get out of squalor but sometimes it is hard to stay out of it-
huggles from Meme aka Oma

Hi Meme. I have been thinking about you and wondering about Papa and am sorry that he passed. He was blessed to have you taking such good care of him and is at peace now. I had belonged to TOSS and came over to SOS but left because of depression. I just rejoined a few weeks ago and am doing much better this time around. You take good care and I look forward to seeing you here again, Sharon formerly known as Desiree'.

Dear Meme,
Yes, your Papa was definitely a keeper. As are you.
I'm so pleased you are willing to share your further journey with us. We are blessed to have you here.

I remember your "huggles" from Squalor Survivors. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you find some comfort here.

Welcome back, Meme. I have missed your gentle presence. What a difficult time for you. I agree that Papa was blessed to have you by his side.
I will watch for your posts as I have missed you. (Gentle, Meme-like huggles)
