Cherished BB friends,
Thank you all SO much for your thoughts and prayers re BIL and Father's Day. It means a lot to me.
Ugh, BIL has been missing for a week today. There is no news. He has been declared a missing person since last Wednesday. He does not have the money to hole up in a hotel or anything. H drove up to B's rural town (he wanted to so by himself so I just stood by ready to help) and asked around, the police know he’s missing and are looking. I feel so bad for H and his family. It is excruciating not knowing where BIL is and if he is ok or not. I talked to MIL on Saturday. Each day that goes by makes it seem worse. I had high hopes he would be located on the weekend. I kept my cellphone on and with me always to be ready to help.

My first Father’s Day without Dad: One of my best friends invited me to her house for the day. We went berry-picking at a farm and came home and made pies. It was fun and relaxing and distracting from worries about BIL and sadness about Dad. Thank God for friends! Here, and in the real world.

Btw, I probably won’t be able to post much Tuesday and Wednesday -- we have an offsite job training all day both days. So don’t worry if you don’t hear from me.
But please, all , keep those prayers and good thoughts coming for BIL.

PS. Wonder! So glad to see you back! I missed you, and am glad you had fun running off with the muscular Mexican. Oh! I mean with your family.
Sad - thanks for finding me!
Thesane1,
Nice to see you again, Sue. I liked your cake and cherry analogy and agree with you there. Also, thanks for the link, I first read that about a month ago, on Lights thread, and found it really grounding and helpful.
