Hi Jane,
One test, one challenge at a time – and you are doing it! so very well (:

Thinking of you today as Nicole has her echo. I hope you’ll soon have a reprieve from the tests, giving you time to think and […]

Hi G-J,

All of what you describe seems to bring me back to thinking about communication within the medical community. One of the main reasons our carees need us (:

I’m so glad you continue to communicate […]

Hi Ejourneys,
I so enjoyed reading your letter. I love that you offered Santa what he needs as well. Your letter has an ongoing theme of an alternative definition of gift giving. (:

I think through the many […]

Hi Bob,
Thank you for sharing your words and writing, with us. I love your reference to miracles: “to expect little miracles.” It’s those small miracles that truly provide hope, bright enough to keep us going. […]

Hi Jane,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions.

I understand about feeling pulled. You’re so wise to think about this as seriously as you do. I felt pulled in caregiving as well – in the day to […]

Hi Jan,
Thank you so much. Such a wonderful sentiment for your mom and for others whose world, as you said, has become small. Jan, you are an example of loyalty. Your mom is so blessed to have someone so strong […]

Hi Ejourneys,

As you know, I began a support group for […]

Hi Pegi,
I’m so glad you received the help that you needed – including the dinner. So glad to hear your update and that you and your husband are settled while you await your new home. Thinking of you both and […]

Hi Jo,

I am thankful as well for you! I am grateful for how you share your wisdom and insights on family, and living. I wish you and your family a very special day on Thursday.

Hi Jane,
Thinking and praying for you both today. I’m glad for the questions that you have thought to ask. It’s important you feel as though you can ask them, you know Nicole and her needs more than anyone. I […]

Hi Chris,
Such good reminders. In remembering, they help to keep the track as straight as possible in caregiving. The turns are so hard to ride sometimes – but keeping ourselves in check is always a […]
