My life so far

Since Jan 2009 my life has changed so drastic way I never would have guessed in a million years I would end up in Fort Mill, South Carolina. After my mother in law Barbara Card passed away it was difficult to say the least. Dividing up her possessions to the brothers making sure it was all done evenly so there was no fighting over who got what. Tho in the end there was plenty of that later on. In February I had a total knee replacement surgery that went as well as could be expected but extremely painful. In May I went to so cal to see the kids and ended up in the hospital for 4 days from dehydration. Then in June back in the hospital for gallbladder surgery (which is why I was in the hospital in May!) Also in June we had a visit from Casey and her family and this was a very fun time for us (for me anyway). In August I went back to so cal for my youngest's son's wedding and we all had a blast, my ex-husband came out for the wedding and it was an enjoyable time together for all of us. Then on Oct 19, 2009 Robert died. I found out later it was a heart attack brought on by his diabetes and smoking. The house in a trust automatically went to the next brother and things got very sticky. But a dear friend had a lawyer that sent a stern letter stating I had a certain time frame to remove my possessions and vacate. The brother had sent a letter 2 days after the funeral saying I was to leave all the possessions in the house and vacate within 3 days. Not only did I not leave in 3 days I took 30 days to leave and I took my belongings as well. I arrived in so cal on Nov 17, 2009 and moved in with my daughter. Thinking I would be there just a short time I put my stuff in my son's garage, Casey's garage and the rest in storage. In May I finally got a job so I started saving and looking for a place to rent of my own, well I was turned down, it seemed I didn't make enough money. So I continued saving but in the meantime, my ex-husband found out his cancer had come back and died 2 months later. Then when I thought I might move out with one of my other kids I was laid-off my job! So when Casey and her family relocated to South Carolina they asked me to go with them I said 'sure' why not? I felt a fresh start was just what I was in need of. So here it is January 9, 2011 in a new town with new opportunities. Can't wait to see what is next.
