You guys....
..are THE BEST!!!! What a wonderful post. I thought I was all out of tears. Thank you from the very bottom of my grateful heart for such warm and caring thoughts from you all. I am so blessed! It has been tough the past few days especially coming off only 3-4 hours sleep three nights in a row on the RT! Your thoughts energize me greatly! I can't begin to tell you how much your support helps to carry me thru. I am also blessed that I was with Kathy & Lorrayne when I got the terrible news. My DH was trying not to let me know til I returned as he knew how upset I would be. When my FIL had the massive stroke my MIL opted to have him put on a breathing machine til I returned to say my goodbyes. This was both good & bad as I ached knowing they were waiting for my return. My 6 plane delays only made it harder on them but in the end, I am so grateful to my MIL for thinking of ME! The phone call I made to them the night before was such a blessing. I went back & forth whether to call when I saw I had a missed call from them on my cell. (which, BTW, my DH scolded my MIL for "bothering" me on the RT which she apologized for when I called!) I had so lil' time to get showered and back to the gym but decided to give them a quickie call and sooo glad I did! To know the last thing I said was, "I Love You" and they returned it with, "I Love You too will always be a special gift! Please continue to keep Dave & his family in your thoughts & prayers as we go thru the calling hours today and the funeral tomorrow. Thank you Kathy for this wonderful post and thank you to all my forum friends! What would I do without you? LOVE & HUGS!!! (I hope to spend more time here after the RT next week. I miss posting here so very much...a HUGE thank you to Josh at SNM for helping me with my password! You're the best!!)
