Soon

in Family

Thank you for all of your comments and emails over the past few weeks. January was a really hard month. A crushing and simply unimaginable diagnosis for a child in our extended family. Unanswered questions and heart-breaking scenarios have been creeping into my mind at all times of the day. (And night.) I’ve received the family’s blessing to write about it here, and I will because these wonderful people need all the prayers and support you can give during their long and impossibly difficult journey.

I’ve tried many times to write the post, but I fail every time. It’s just too raw. Too impossible to convey just exactly how I feel. Most of all, it’s as if hitting publish confirms how real it is. I don’t want it to be real.

But I will write about it. Soon. Because it’s becoming increasingly clear what my role should be during this difficult time. Because I have a platform to raise awareness and I need to use it. Because I want to do everything I possibly can to help. Most importantly, because every day I don’t write about it is a day that passes without all of your prayers, good wishes and support.

Soon.

    Girl. You just take your time. There are a hell of a lot of people out here in the world thinking of you and sending you good thoughts. You take care of you and yours, and we’ll keep sending out the good juju.

    Unrelated: Can I just tell you that I bought a Groupon for Boot Camp? Because of you. I have arm cellulite. And you inspired me. So, there’s that.
