Re: With a Twist-McCloud Kids Gotta Skill, Dec. 16

Yay! Glad you're back, but glad you took the time to recharge. I think it's a very smart strategy for keeping yourself motivated.

Bridget is so adorable! I love her little hair bow and her pink-striped pants and her big heart. Feeling sorry for the trash-rummaging raccoon and making friends with her was just precious, and her whirlwind of emotions surrounding the belly-flop was so poignant. What a trooper she is already! Perfect heir material.

I loved Waylon's priceless horrified Daddy face. My baby! No!

Congrats to Airynn on the new career! I know she'll be a wonderful astronaut.

The McCloud Family and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays however you celebrate.  We'll see you after the New Year.  Right now it's time for my personal family, but know I'll be thinking of you all and praying for you.

Many happy returns of the season Joria!

When Bridg did that belly flop, I felt it, having done many of them myself over the years!

I'm glad you found some renewed vigour for your story, and I hope some of it rubs off on me!

@oshizu, @Caterina, @FrancescaFiori, @Magpie2012 @laurenannie and all the wonderful people who have been reading my story, I have been going through some very serious difficulties in my life.  Life changing difficulties that are almost too difficult to bear.  So, instead of playing Sims, I've spent most of my days and nights in prayer, hoping to turn the tragedy that is happening around.  Please send your prayers my way.  For those of you who are also Catholics, please say a rosary for me and my intention.  Because of this extreme difficulty, I have put my story on hold but I WILL continue to tell the tale of the McCloud family as God and things permit.  Thanks for sticking with me and God bless you all.

Now, for one bright ray in my day.  YAYYY TODDLERS!  There is hope for the future of all Simkind.  For now, a mystical fog surrounds the McClouds and they go peacefully to sleep while waiting for their faithful Watcher to wake them up once again.

Love to you all.

Dearest Joria,
Sending you my heartfelt prayers as you face such difficult days. May you transform the darkness into light.
with love,
oshizu

It breaks my heart to hear you're going through such hard times. I'm sending you all my hugs and prayers and hopes that things get better soon.
So glad the toddlers came around to brighten your day! EA must have known you needed them.

I miss you and the McClouds, but will wait patiently for more until you're ready. Hugs again!

Joria,  I will put you and your family in my prayers.  I teared up reading that your were having difficult times.  I know what it is like to have to walk through darkness.  Give power to positive thoughts.  You WILL come out stronger on the other side.  Love and hugs, Caterina

I'm about as far from Catholic as you can get, whilest remaining on this planet, but, I promise I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I will be sending positive energy your way!

Just remember, no matter what, we, your internet family, love you and are here if you need us!
