Gwen,
I am so sorry I have not replied to your letter. I have been having a tough
time with my health but I think I am on the road to recovery now. I hope your
are holding up through this trip with your sister. I have said many prayers
for you and her and I send you my love right now. Matter of fact I will pause
now and say a prayer for you and her, no use waiting to do what I can
now.........
You asked how I kept up with all the mail.. At times I can not either. At
first I felt guilty if I deleted something and did not read it all. But
realized that I could not overwhelm myself. You will learn how to scan
through the messages and pick out the ones you know are important and the ones
that is just general talk. Try to catch highlights and do not worry about the
rest. If you miss some you can always go to the archives and look it up.
Some things I know I want to keep so I print them out without reading them and
then I can take my time to read.
If you get overwhlmed just delete most of it and fine one good buddy in the
forum. They will keep you up to date. That is the beauty of this group, they
really pull together and help each other. We all understand that things get
so overwhelming at times. We have all been there.
Nanc is a really good one to help keep you up to date. She is so full of
love. When Lillian gets back on line she is good also, and PJ. Nisi stays
pretty up on things also. There are many more I have not even mentioned.
Marty is good, but I think he is on vacation right now.
I will do what ever I can to help. I have not been on much lately because we
have had so many deaths in my family it is becoming to feel like a dream.
After we lost Cricket and Uncle Paul in Feb I thought we would get a rest.
But my uncle Ulric died this past sunday and my cousin died monday from breast
cancer and while everyone was together for the funeral, the night they buried
Uncle Ulric his granddaughter (6 weeks old) died in her sleep! SO we have
lost 6 people in my family since Jan 1, 1999. Then you add my dad and Uncle
in June and Aug of 1998, I think we have had our share now.
I had better close and go to church. I will try to do better in writing. I
had pneumonia all last week and did not get out of bed.
Please give Barbara my love. I am here if you ever need anything. My love
goes out to you also. You are doing the hardest job you will ever do in your
life right now. But the most rewarding one you will ever remember. Hang
tough.
Lots of Love,
Sandi
