I need your prayers and your shoulders

[Travelinana]

To all my WRV friends I want to begin by saying I know we all join Facebook friends in prayers for Sprinter. The fight I am in is not in anyway compared to hers. The list keeps getting longer but I'm afraid I need you to add me now.
Some of you know I downsized and now have my house for sale. I placed a pad at my son's house as a homebase. It's been a few months and the house hasn't sold but I'm optimisitic for it to sell by Spring. I thought I could take a trip anyway but I have another 'loose end' I've also mentioned. I own a tract of land in another county. One of my neighbors is suing me. I won't go into the details.. too complicated. I now find he will also be filing a personal injury suit against me. This means most likely he will try to get my land. This is a major part of my future needed income. Naturally, this has taken the wind out of my sails but I have great blessings in my life too. My son is wonderful and I am very close to my younger brother who lives in same town. He will be divorced very soon and will share custody of his son. He has asked me to come live with him. I have made the decision to do this. If the final outcome is the worst case scenario I can make enough adjustments in my life to make it. I have started helping homebound women and will also start babysitting for families for short periods and sometimes weekends. I find involving myself with others is therapeutic also. This is my home and I have wonderful friends. I also learned my orthopedist found my hips not to be that advanced and I believe I had pulled a muscle as first thought. My blessings are many.
I joined this forum with so much optimism for travel in my future. I have been able to travel some and I have some wonderful memories. My brother will be retiring and when Hogan is with him we will be making some short trips though. I debated so long about a Motor Home versus a bumper pull. I am so thankful I decided on the much less expensive trailer. I will keep it here at my son's and will still spend a couple of days here per week.
God is good and He will guide me through this. I have turned it over to Him. I am thankful for my friends all over the country. I believe getting to know you has been part of God's bigger picture for my life.

((((( hugs ))))) The only thing that we can ever ask for is the strength to face what comes before us and the presence of mind and heart to make each decision the best we can as it comes. None of us knows what the afternoon holds for us much less tomorrow. The world is always ready to "laugh" at our plans and the older we are the less surprised we are when "we didn't see that coming...but there it is." You are still on a journey...just the "roadways" may look different. ....and I think the ability to dream (especially when dreams get rearranged), to find the possibles and the amazing among the scenery along the way will always be with you....those are some of the characteristics of many of the characters on this forum that draw me back day by day...... you are still one among kindred spirits....

Nancy - I think Tina has a very good take on it. And in the meantime, if you need a shovel to bury the body, maybe we can make this a true personal injury case. He wants personal injury,...

[Bethers]

You are having to make the tough decisions and hoping you make the best ones for you and those involved. I hope for the necessary strength to deal with your neighbor and the consequences of that. And you know we're always here to listen.

So many tough decisions here, wow...
I do believe that all works out the way it is suppose to and the "bad guys" always get theirs in the end.
Praying for peace of mind for you and that the right thing is done.

Sometimes life is just difficult! You have made some really tough decisions. Such strength!

You know, you are still a traveller -- even if it is more in spirit and less in the flesh for the immediate future!

[Readytogo]

Ah Nancy, I know how much you wanted to travel. But as long as we have familes, life is not completely our own. Bur hopefully occasional trips will still be in the future. Just a thought, have you talked to an attorney? Maybe he can't get his hands on your land, maybe this is some way you can protect it? I once worried needlessly for about a year thinking someone could get our house years ago because of a car accident one of my sons had. Ah, the joys of having kids! Turned out, wouldnt have happened! Maybe we can plan a shorter gtg when your life settles down! Wendy

You may not think so right now but you are a strong woman and doing what women do best - coping with what life throws at us. You are still "one of us" even if only traveling on short trips. I gave up life on the road, bought a mobile home, sold my 30' rig and bought a 19' Roadtrek for shorter trips. Just getting away for a few days can be really good. Please stay on the forum and keep us posted on your life journeys.

You have done the very best and most important thing you can do by turning it over to God. You know that He will provide your every need. You have my prayers and support as well as your other friends here as you learn His will for your future. Sounds like you have already made some sound decisions.

Nancy, I can only agree with what everyone has said. If we weren't all of the mind that anything can happen, we should be after what several sistahs on here have had happen in their lives of late. Prayers and hugs!

[pattyk]

I really feel for you. You are strong and will come through this. My thoughts are with you.

[sharon]

Well, looks like everyone else has said it all and very eloquently, too. I wish I could put my thoughts into words as well as Tina does, but I'm more aligned with Maggie....so just let me know where and when and I'll even bring my own shovel!

All kidding aside, thoughts and prayers going out to you as you start down a different road than the one you had mapped out. Just glad that your hips are not as bad as you thought! We're all here for you.

[Pooker]

You asked for prayers and shoulders. You have a lot of both.

It's so sad you have to go through this. Why can't our later years just be filled with fun and peace (of mind)?
We paid our dues in our early years; you'd think we could at least have "this time"...
God and life always have other plans.

I'm hoping you have insurance to cover your defense costs. And I hope he loses his ass in attorney fees.
I'm with Maggie...

I'm sorry, Nancy.
It's good you have strong faith and a loving family nearby.
I wish you a successful (and VERY SHORT) journey through this.

prayers for you as you struggle though your issues.
