Cookie my dear friend...SOME things you cant controll...I am learning that myself.
It doesnt make it any easier, you know you have tried everything and all you can do it just try to make things as easy for them as possible.
I care...

Awww, Cookie...I have my mom and my dad is gone now... although my parents were not together for many years... I cannot imagine how tough it would be to go through all that drama in their last years. I feel for all of you..... and your dad crying really made me sad. He just misses her so much!
I pray things will get better and soon! I am so sorry for your stress and pain.
In the midst of everyting, don't forget to take care of YOU!

It sounds like another great time last night. Oh, cookie. I do feel sorry for you and your sister and brother and mom and dad. It has to be really hard on you kids to see your dad hurting the way he is. But your mom's health was more at stake by staying with him. The trouble is, your dad is more than likely genuinely sorry for what he put her through.....but for your mom?....there's just too much water under the bridge. She needs to find what happiness she can now. I know both of them must rip at your heartstrings. It has got to be so very hard. 
 Why do I not have any kudos to give out yet? Now, I owe you one for the last blog and for this one.
