[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 202034, member: 1587"] Your replies brought tears, and many memories. Not bad tears just warm ones. :happy: To answer your question Shari, it is a Sterling Silver jewelry store with many one of a kind pieces, we also sell purses, glassware, and a variety of Canvas Art. I keep telling husband if there is a recession it sure isn't in my store because we have been going over our monthly budget for the last few months. :happy: In answer to your question Suz, yes it was the store directly across from mine. Apparently the ***'t Manager showed difficult child ways to pocket money on cash returns. She is charged with a felony and he with a misdemeanor as his theft was less than $250. He admitted to it, they had no real proof so at least he was honest.... too bad he didn't start out that way. :frowny: It is like a family at the airport. Everyone knows everyone, talks to everyone, and although difficult child worked for a different parent company, everyone knew he was my son ... walking into the airport the next day was very difficult for me. I got a lot of support though. Even from the police. They know me, and they liked difficult child and the overwhelming comment was... "He did a stupid thing and hopefully he will learn from it." It happened at the same time I was being promoted so I went to my GM and gave him the opportunity to withdraw the offer. He looked at me and said, "Are you nuts?" Nicest words I had heard in a long time. :happy: Self-sabotage is a trait that my difficult child has had for....ever. I keep hoping, each time, that he won't shoot himself in the foot...and so far...each time he has, but he is his own person and that is something I have accepted. He is not an extension of husband and I. His own person with his own choices and his own consequences. I have come a long way. We all know the lasting pain in a mothers heart though and some days are better than others. :frowny: I really meant it when I said I love you guys. We have been through a lot together. I guess I was hoping at some point he would "outgrow" it.... but he hasn't. Well, off to the shower and another day at the airport. :winking: Saw Prince the other night. He comes in the checkpoint right next to my store. He is really a tiny guy and I love the Fedora.. LOL I will keep "lurking", sending hugs and praying... and I will post when possible. Some ties never are broken. Hugs [/QUOTE]
