Just wanted to let all my friends know...
Jesse confirmed this morning that he will indeed be taking my sister up on her offer to move to Montana and stay with her. He has court on Monday, for driving with a suspended license... and then he will be catching a flight as soon as possible afterwards.
I have a feeling I will be sleeping much better in the future. It will be a healing time for all concerned.
Thanks to all who have offered moral support and even advice here, and encouragement. I don't know where I would be without you, and without that.

And more back to you!!
That's fantastic news, Julie. I wish him much happiness.
Marge, I am feeling a sense of relief like nothing I've experienced in years.
It will be a nice summer...I remember how wonderful that little corner is during the summer. And he can zip up to Glacier or out to Spokane.
And he'll be in charge of helping himself, something that will feel good to him.
Ellie... I know he hates cold, but Missoula isn't cold this time of year. It does cool down very nicely at night, though. I miss that!
Yes...that altitude does wonders for keeping it comfortable for summer sleeping! I am sometimes amazed when our overnight low here is in the 70s!
And even next winter, Missoula is mild. Not like the plains of North Dakota or North Central Montana! Missoula weather I could live with. Especially when you add in the benefits of a slower pace, friendlier people, less pressure, no traffic...WAIT what the @#$% am I doing here! Seriously, i sometimes think I need to talk the hubby into retiring in Western Montana!
Uh-huh, Ellie... that's what everyone told me before I moved there in the fall of 96 and we got 24 feet of snow between November 1 and March 1.
:)
But at least it wasn't 50 below with 40 mph winds, right. So that still qualifies as mild.
;-)
I'm so happy for you Julie. You deserve to sleep well.
Thanks, dianne. Don't we all?
So the part tiume job didn't work out? That's the last I was in the loop.
The part time job thing is a long story, Marianne, and one that I haven't even touched on here. We had an enormous setback which nearly did us in. Since then, he's been working part-time at the hotel where he is staying, just for rent. The pay is lousy, in other words... but he's still happy, because it's work and it makes him feel good.
I am so happy it is working out. It sounds like a great opportunity for him to get back on track. And you need your sleep!
I do need my sleep, Sherrie. More than even I realized. So does he. I can't even imagine how elusive sleep must be when one doesn't know if they have to pack up and leave first thing in the morning. He's suffering much because of that, I think. But most of what's eating at him is that he feels like he could do anything, if someone (anyone) would just give him a chance. This is not the place for chances, right now. People are still losing their jobs daily. It's really tough out there.
good luck to all
We appreciate it, lena!
I'm hoping that this will be a positive move (literally and figuratively) for him.

I have to believe it will be, J M. The alternative is unthinkable.
I will hope for it every day. Keep me updated.
Wonderful news. I am so happy for you and for Jesse. He is blessed with a very loving mother. Hugs to you.
