Reaching Out (in vain) May 19, 2006

Here's one where I said I might move closer so Oliver has more family, and my mother replied asking me not to. They didn't want to become "babysitters" they said. I had to BEG them to come to my son's 1st birthday.

All of a sudden, they're like flies over Oliver when nobody cared before, except Granny, and Granny was a little scary to me after the Alzheimer attacks:

this has to be short but wanted to let you know that I named him:

Oliver Robert Guy Garrett

:) I just liked having Dad's full name in there. Read this to him to let him know. :)
Also, after you guys figure out where you'll be and what you'll be doing, I'd like to consider moving closer so Oliver has time with Dad because I've read that single mothers with sons need a male role model for their sons to avoid problems with absent father stuff. :)

Anyway, doing okay and Oliver's eating well. Pray for his health though, because his jaundice seems bad and I feel bad about the circumcision--it's a little infected but not bad. Otherwise good.

Oh, and I don't know how to say this, but Granny's been trying to call me every single day and I really am not interested in having a relationship after everything that happened. I appreciate her concern and love her, but I don't want to get back into a talking relationship--also, it's very bothersome to have her calling non-stop and it stresses me out to talk to her. I don't know how to get this across in a polite way, but my opinion about what happened with everyone and my arrest, etc., hasn't changed the way I feel, regardless of the baby. I need my distance.


Okay, gotta go, love Cameo

Thanks again for EVERYTHING--it made a really big difference and helped me out SOoooooo much. I truly appreciate it and am very thankful for you both and the work you did and effort and etc.. Thank you and I won't forget it. Love you, CAmeo
