{{{{{{{KAW)))))))) Gentle hugs to you at this time. You are so right about significance of issues at hand. Perhaps your W is soul searching a bit...of course this would be part of her natural response.
As you know oh too well....just focus on being there for her, your daughter, and all those involved. The "giving" part of you is one of your true strengths. Give and serve those around...and God will take care of you without your even asking. Just ask for continued strength, patience, and let things flow....knowing the spirit is guiding you.
You are in my prayers...along with all these other wonderful BB friends, here.
First of all, let me say, "Thank You!" for all the well-wishes and prayers.
I'm sorry to report that my absence here was due to spending his final days here on Earth with him and family and in the arranging of afar members of the family to be within a hug's reach ... culminating with attending his funeral yesterday ... and it has been so surreal to think of continuing on without being able to see him around.
Being a quiet and reserved man, it was amazing to see just how broad his touch was in so many lives and yet not surprising at all as he was such a kind and gentle soul.
Since I'm really not in the spirit of posting as of yet and I've already lost one attempt at this, I'm going to lurk for a while as there's plenty of reading to catch up on here. Just wanted to say Thank You once again for keeping us in your prayers and if you would ... please keep saying a prayer for CAW ... for she is one tormented soul right now ... and for her mother who is holding up well, but is none the less going thru an emotionally trying time as we all well know ... and with an anniversary of 49 years just a scant two weeks away, its going to be even more difficult for the near term. Please help pray that they and the rest of the family find peace for their loss. Thanks again.
I will definitely keep all of you in my prayers. I will also put another one in for good measure: that losing her father will help CAW see all the blessings in her own life so that she can nuture the Rs more with those she loves. Most of all, you.
A big hug from me to you, sweetie.
Bets

I'm very sorry to read your news. I'm sending you and your family my best prayers. And I'm going to chime in with Betsey and add some for CAW's insight into her blessings as well. Often, losing someone dear can make us reevaluate the other someones dear who are walking right here with us.
Sorry to have lost track of your thread. I'm starting to catch up again.
Thanks for catching all of us up. I, too am with Bets and Wonder...you and your family are in my prayers too. Continue to take good care of you and stay on that track. Be good to yourself, think of CAW and take good care of your d. Just find moments where you kind find happiness and/or some peace. Stay strong, too....you really only have control over your own life....we have all learned that hard lesson during our struggles.
Bets
