AWOL awhile...

Thank you, Ro. Looong week..... Molly

Molly- my sympathy to you and your family for your loss.

Dawn, thank you. I missed you all this week. Molly

Molly, I'm so sorry for your loss and the fact that I'm so late coming in here. Sending you many hugs, and please if you feel like you need to talk, I'm here. Hugs!! Shawn

Hi Shawn, Thank you for the hugs...I hope they come with baby kisses too. BTW, I finally got to the post office today and have a little something on the way for you and Sydnie. Molly

They come with all the baby kisses you could possibly stand!!! I so wish we all lived closer together...I would LOVE for all of you to see her. She really is perfect! (don't all parents say that??) I hope you're feeling better and again, I'm here if you need. I *think* you have my number...if not, I'll pm it to you if you want. More hugs and sweet Sydnie kisses

And thank you in advance for whatever it is you sent. You're WAY too kind. Thank you for your thoughtfulness!! Hugs, Shawn

Mol... Are you OK? I can't imagine how you hold it together with the amount and type of illness that ha**** your family. I do pray for you to have the strength to get through this and all of your other responsibilities "in-one-piece". I remember your Thanksgiving wish about your parents... God Bless, you and them, Mol. I gather that keeping busy at work, with the rose society, Sam's schooling, and Elizabeth's visits from college add some balance (or distraction) for you. This past year I lost 3 family members and have 2 aging relatives who I have contact with, but their time is near... I fear. Seems the old have a better attitude on death and aging. It scares the *ell out of me. I wanted to find joy in these years onward, but it seems that there is a fair amount of sadness built in. I heard the song on YouTube: Johnny Cash Hurt and can't seem to get it out of my mind... it must mean something to me or my fears. Part of it says...Everyone I love goes away in the end... and I choke-up. I realize that this might not help you... but I do mean well.. and to be supportive. My heart goes out to you and special prayers for your mom & dad XOXOXO Ro
