Despairing

Thank you all for the words of support. They mean alot to me. You all are people I know I really can count on.

I put in for the 30th off yesterday. So I plan to be at the exchange. It will be something to look forward to.

Jana, thanks for the offer, but I will be in Bloomington to see Mikey on Sunday.

Linda, I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you but reaching out to your friends and to God is the best thing that you can do for yourself.  Don't isolate yourself.  For my precious one's that I've lost, I do better remembering the good times and celebrating all our happy & crazy times together rather than dwelling on their passing. 

You got through the last year one step at a time, one day at a time, one choice at time and you will continue to do that in 2010.  Our friends see strength in us that we don't see in ourselves.  We need to trust their words when they tell us that.  We are all telling you, Linda, you are courageous and strong.  You can do this.

PS.....this goes for you too, Terry.
