Hi Ann. It's so hard coming here and reading all the sadness. I feel like I'm not helping when I add my own problems. I went out to the cemetery and stayed with Danny and Gene for about four hours yesterday. My other brother and his wife showed up and with all the Memorial Day visitors it still was a peaceful place to talk and get all the feelings out. I do think it has helped. The only time I can unload is here on this board. I swear NOBODY except the people here have any idea how we feel. I do check the board almost every night, sometimes I only lurk, too hard to post.
How are things going for you? Thank you so much for thinking about me. Except for my brother, I don't think any one else does.
As our sweet Donna always says "hugs"
Cheryl

Yes, Cheryl. I've been wondering how you are myself. Dana went back to work today, so she hired this lady to come and help out with me andthe kids. I hate her. Anyway, that is a different topic all together.

Please know that you are in my prayers and thoughts everyday. Please know we are all here for you.

Hello Cheryl, thanks for replying. It's good to know that you are okay. I'm sorry that you feel so alone right now. I wish there was something I could say or do to help ease your loneliness. Only time can help, it's said to be a great healer. The first year is always so hard because every day brings a new !This time last year" etc if you know what I mean. How are your children? Are they coping well? I'm glad to hear that you have the support of your brother, he must be a comfort to you. Whenever I get really down I try to think of others that are worse off than me, it usually helps a little. Not alot, but every little helps. And don't forget, we are always here to offer support. You have been so kind and a tower of strength to others on this board, I just hope that we can help you the way you have helped us. Take care now, and please keep us posted on how you are, best wishes, Ann.
