I don’t know what I would do without any of you, I really don’t. Now I am in the biggest emotional roller coaster of my life, and believe me there are tears this time. I can not stop
them. I have had bad news and more bad news on top, pertaining to Al, and I just can not speak of right now. Please be understanding with why I have not blogged since yesterday. Please be patient with me, and hopefully I will be back to a more normal person tomorrow, able to speak of what is happening.
I love you all, and would give anything if any of you were here with me.
Talk to you soon.
Terry

Hi Terry, I wish I knew of something I could say to help comfort you in your hour of need but I know there is nothing. Please just know that we are all there to support you – we are all there for you. i’m sending all my love, hugs and as much healing as I can to both you and AL … nothing wrong in letting the tears flow – it;s stronger in the long run to let it out than to bottle it up. Not sure that made sense but I think you know what I mean. I hope you don’t mind but yesterday I lit a candle for both you and AL.
On a different note, can I please tell you what a wonderful writer you are? I’m following your NaNo story – I’m also on NaNo – and am VERY impressed with your story. Good luck with everything – I’m thinking of you.

Take a deep breath. And another. and another. Take baby steps. One foot in front of the other. I know it doesn’t seem like it, but things WILL get better.
You obviously have a lot of people who love and care for you. Take some strength in that.
Be gentle with yourself.

When I’m facing a crisis, I always find comfort in this song:
“Praise You In This Storm”
by Casting Crowns:
I was sure by now, God
You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say “Amen”,
And it’s still raining.
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with You”.
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
The God who gives and takes away.
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry.
You raised me up again.
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand.
You’ve never left my side.
So I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And although my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm.

Oh Dear Terry,
Wish I could be there to give you a hug and hold your hand. Or at the least, make a hot beverage for both of us. đŸ™‚ I’m praying for you and Al, Terry, and I admire how you are able to cry – I always can cry for others or in movies, but never for myself. So don’t try to shut down the waterworks too soon – they are healing. đŸ™‚ And it’s okay to not write until you’re ready – we will always wait for you. Take good care of yourself, ok? Love from Minnesota.

It is a wonderful thing, getting away from it all. Initially I fretted about leaving my son, who is thirteen, but he had a great time too, spending time with his sisters.
I think Al will be just fine and perhaps you can ‘get away from it all’ for a little while too. It doesn’t mean you don’t care and it is worth it, to refresh yourself.
