hello


Good morning friends.  I wanted to pop in because I know a lot of you have reached out to me and I've been too overwhelmed to talk or answer emails and comments.  I'm just taking things one day at a time.  Larry is home with me and we just take each day as it comes.  I know you all will understand my inability to blog during this time.  Please know that all your prayers and comforting thoughts are incredibly helpful.  Thank you so very much for understanding.  xo

  24. Janet, As others of said, our words are inadequate never-the-less we write. It is so very gracious and generous of you to write a post at this time. Those of us who have come to know you over the years feel so helpless but desire to offer support and comfort hence our continued checking and posting. We have no expectation of you responding. You are in what I call sacred time, may you and Larry experience many moments of joy as you spend this cherished time together. May you have courage and be lifted during the lows. I'm a woman of faith so I pray for you both nightly.
