Thank you! Different days bring different things, but I'm amazed at how well I've been holding up through it all--especially the recent development of H filing. I think it helps to know that I have a lot of people--family and friends--who are rooting for me and praying for me.

My mom is the master at calling to "check on me" but using an excuse as to why she is calling.

Last week she called me to tell me it was raining and she wanted to know if it was raining at my house. LOL!


Yes, I've had some calls like this, too! I'm glad to learn my situation is not unusual. My father and I had a lengthy discussion about how it was raining at my house but not at his yet. On another day, white best friend called for a similar reason and then "wanted to try to hear the thunder through my phone."

My neighbor (bless her heart, she went through a horrifying divorce about 5 yrs ago) comes over to borrow things that are so random it is comical.


My neighbors have done some similar things, too. One sent her daughter over with some printer paper "in case I needed it." Another hailed me over to talk about trees he might plant behind his house. The old guy on the corner told me he'd give me bowling lessons. You gotta love that they want to check on us but think we have no idea that they're doing it.

Glad you are surrounded by so much goodness!

I'm glad that you and I BOTH are surrounded by it. It makes things much more bearable, does it not?
