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.

February 4, 2011 at 9:13 pmAs you already know, the power of the written word is amazing and self healing.
Once the word are down on paper, you will begin to heal and then be able to help.
Just let go and trust that those who are here will always be here to support you through this time.
I know, you know this….but you need to believe it too.
Waiting to help.
