counseling was good last night...i really liked the counselor. she's young but she was very easy to talk too and shayna seemed to really like her. it really is depressing sitting down and telling someone your whole life history. she said shayna has seen way more in her ten years then she should have and of course i already knew that but when you hear it from someone else it really makes you feel like a failure. i'm confident that this will help us (me and shayna) ava was a bit of a handful last night because she's just too young but we are going to continue to go and see how it plays out.

I am sure this will help my girls. you are not a failure and sometime life just isn't what we had hope it would be, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Just may take awhile to see it

We all make mistakes, that doesn't make us a failure. Giving up makes us a failure. All any of us can do is learn from our mistakes, move forward and hopefully not repeat them.

As the old song says;

Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Love you.
Uncle Don

Uncle Don-I just looked up the song and listened to it. I had never heard it before!

I said it was an old song. You aren't old like me.
