Little Angels '98

As previously touched on . I joined onto a list with another lady *Janet* , to engage and get help with raising our kids all born in the year 1998. There are nearly 30 of us at any one stage as a few have come and gone . The list migrated from talk city to onelist, then yahoogroups then facebook. The name also changed a few time from Autumn Angels ( since it was autumn in the usa) and mine was spring, to Nov/Dec Babies as we let others in and their babies were born in dec . The next change was LA '98 . little angels 1998 encompassing the whole year as one lady found us and her daughter was born in the january , while the majority are in nov and dec ... we have them spread throughout the year now. as we migrated through names and months so we did people from all around the world . When it started , i was in Sydney Australia, and my friends moved with me where we went , from liverpool to shellharbour, then changing countries to New Zealand, from the north island to the south island ..

As with many things , we had a myrid of different personalities , and not all of them got along .. i had to remind many of them that it was just one line of type .. read in a bad vibe could be taken bad , but read again a day later could result in a different understanding of that single line of type.

Janet and her husband as i'd been told , came to new zealand , to meet us.. but while i encouraged her to do so , it ended up not the best decision as things i know and things i learned were very differerent...

so very long story short , we parted ways, and on facebook i made a new page for the ladies called santascottage.. most if not all that were present at the time came over and i believe some have stayed as well with where ever Janet had her page.

We had all , hoped to meet at one stage or another , i'd met both the ladies in sydney , before we moved over to western australia .. a couple of other ladies have met when they could and they have been excellent meetings with the ladies getting on awesomely .. as the kids got to be 10 (double figures ) we hoped to meet , but couldn't arrange it , money always being a big hurdle..

But no matter what , through all the ups and downs, these ladies have been through so much ..and we have all banded together to give advice, help if we can and prayers. Over 25 years that comes to a lot .

I would like to take this opportunity to say to all my ladies , thankyou for the last 25 years of support, between countries and all the other things i've been through ..

may the next 25years be just as wonderful ..
