What hit me this year is not that George touched so many people - known and unknown to him - or that they were will to come to his aide, but that Mary had to have the strength to reach out to the community with their need. If she had not taken that step, no one would have known that attention was required and no one could have fulfilled their own need to be a part of a bigger community and contribute to those in the community who need it. <BR/><BR/>Asking for help is always so humbling, but we need to remember that it is necesssary to help all of us experience the different ways that God can express through us. <BR/><BR/>Dori stopped in to see me the other day and I was SO thrilled. It's neat to know so may going through similar experiences. This is just a phase and she will get through it. Please try to remember those days when she is hom e and not count the days that she is not home. And please give yourself a break. You are in such a unique position where everything that happpens does affect your life and you don't even have the ability to "take a drug cocktail" to help. All you can do is sit by and watch and try to support. That's got to be the hardest role in this whole thing.<BR/><BR/>I'm blubbbering now, but in short, love yourself, let others love you, and enjoy your downtime. <BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
