I know these feelings all too well, beloved friend. I am so grateful for all the love, prayers, and concern sent to me by you and others here, because I now can send some of that loving store your way. That moment when you hear the news is intense and frightening. As I have been admonished by others, I now pass on to you. Be there for them, keep placing one foot in front of the other, and you will make it through although at times it will not feel so. Spend time in reflection on the fragility of life and what you nearly lost. It will be a new color on the palette of you. And most of all, as you are taking care of them, find time to take care of yourself. That is the ultimate act of giving as it gives you the best chance of being there for others.

And remember ...... I and many others here love you and are sending our blessings in all the ways that we all use to do that. For me, that is prayer.

When she is able, give my Annie a hug from Big Mick, and have her give you one too.

All the best,

Mick
