I am so, so sorry for what you and your family are going trough. I can't imagine being in your sister's shoes.<BR/> I like you have two beautiful children, a son <BR/>(6) and a daughter (5). I often think of what it would be like to have a third and wonder if I want to mess with my perfect little family.<BR/> I was slighty depressed today over what now seems to be very petty things. Your blog has made me realize -- if not only for the moment -- just how lucky I am. <BR/> I send out all the love, prayers, and support that a stranger 1000's of miles away can send to another in need of such support. <BR/> I will be donating what I can for Tanner. I wish all the health, and speedy recovery for Zachary.<BR/> I have dealt with a lot in my lifetime; however, I could not imagine what it would be like to deal with even the thought of loosing a child.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, sincerely,<BR/>Mom of TwoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-66615203741267060372008-09-15T15:04:00.000-04:002008-09-15T15:04:00.000-04:00XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-12824858604653930132008-09-05T21:42:00.000-04:002008-09-05T21:42:00.000-04:00Good freaking God.I am with you, C.

And the universe is NOT going to dish out any more pain to you right now lady. I deem it to be so. <BR/><BR/>I can't offer you a damn thing. A shot of vodka? A handful of my xanax maybe? But that pales in comparison to what you've offered me with your writing. <BR/><BR/>I want you to know that after I read your posts about William Frederick Hunter, and Beaner, I posted something to my own blog that I never, ever thought I'd have the courage to put it print. I blogged about the pain that my father had been causing me for the past 37 years. And while it may offer you little consolation, I want you to know that there is no doubt in my mind that if I had not read your posts of last week, I NEVER would have gotten that out.<BR/><BR/>So, thank you. And I am sending every iota of positivity I have to your little space in the world.Michelle Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355860795537414954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-62305986425699823082008-08-28T01:47:00.000-04:002008-08-28T01:47:00.000-04:00Oh, no.
