For i know, that it is just not  meant to be
for i  know, maybe it has never really been meant to be, as right now, with her mother so sick and ILL, I know, that she only needs my help and support--FINANCIALLY

For i know, that she is still seeking, and looking, for someone else, who is much better than just  ME
so she wished to DIVORCE me, today on the 12th of june, way back in 1977-- is when we were MARRIED

So im communicating now with her as she is home in the philippines, taking care of NANAY, and helping her FAMILY
her mother is very, very sick ILL, and she has lost her eye site and cannot see

i know the family in the PHILIPPINES, they are all exhausted, with there- twenty four hour support and care
of nanay way over there

I know that if it was me taking care of her
that her heath, well-being, and HAPPINESS, would be there

I know how difficult it is, for family to care for a dear LOVED one
the job is so exhausting, and the mission on hand, just never is done

Twenty four hour care is needed there
the family is now in care giver burn out, they are not getting there rest, and SLEEP, at night, they feel that,  its just not even fair


NANAY, she needs medical, intervention, and admitance to nursing home twenty hour, supervision, and professional, care
but the family just has not the fiances, to  accomadate,  that over there

So my-ex wife a round trip plane ticket, i was able to get and i sent her home with her mother, to be there
and i have been talking with her now, since the falling out way back in 2012 , and divorce in 2013 ,more than we have communicated in a long time, i know she is exhausted day and night caring for her sickly and ailing mother, and now she is there she feels that everyone else in the family HAS,dropped the ball, and its just not fair, she has care giver burn out, and feels she cant even take a break, cant even SLEEP, straight at night, and its just not right or even fair

Yesterday a major argument, and fight between her, and her younger sister did occur, and happen
so i have been talking with her and moral support and prayers, to them trying my very best to send

Mostly for I feel, so hurt and for her mother, how the family is arguing and the needed, care to her they deny
i felt yesterday, when i heard, about the troubles, that immediately, everything that i have, i want to get a plane ticket and  24/7- take care of her MOTHER, because i will always love her , and when she is now hurting at the age of ,eighty eight, it deeply disturbs me and i sigh

I have been praying, and praying
this situation has been on a my heart and mind, and has a been HEAVILY- WEIGHING

I called again there last night
pleading with my ex-wide that they all had to have a family meeting, and take care of NANAY, and cease, this turmoil, fighting,and strife

I told her, all have to come to an agreement, and give there love, compassion and care, around the clock, twenty-four seven
because before they know it, NANAY, she will be gone, and up in the HEAVENS

I have been in nursing for twenty years
i know the hard work and sacrifice of being a care giver,and the sweat and tears

But i told her, that in the end , i wound never wish, on any of them, to have any regret
if she had a fall, or got hurt, because her basic needs of care were not met

I know that,  i could fly to her home
and i could take care of her, lovingly, and, completely all on my very own

It is weighing, very heavily on my heart and mind
im praying, and praying, for the answer to find

I know that, i could  send every dollar that i have in my every bank account, for her help and care
but i know, that will not take care of her every,  HURT and PAIN and FEAR, as if i was there at her side, 24/7--anticipating her every physical, and emotional need, and CARING for HER and PRAYING with HER HOLDING HER,in my arms, LOVINGLY,TENDERLY, SAFELY, over in the PHILIPPINES, over THERE
