Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

After our little break---here---my wonderful hubby thought it would be best for this momma's "mental health" to get us hooked up. I have kept up the blog by running to my mom's, blogging, (not visiting properly like a good daughter), checking the prayer requests and taking everyone's prayer requests home with me to pray.

I want to thank everyone for the well wishes---it made me so happy to realize the many prayers that were heading our way.

Things are still difficult, my hard working dh is finding extra work where he can, but we will just "keep on, keeping on" with a big rearrangement of our lifestyle, prioritizing, and make sacrifices, but it is all worth it to be able to be here, as mother and teacher to my children!

God Bless You All

I was thinking about you the other day and wanted to post and ask how you were doing, and then thought remembered that you probably weren't online.

So glad you are back and things are manageable.

Our "mental health" is a very important thing.
