We're a sea of differences here at the daysgoby's house. This gorgeous, uplifting weather partnered with the sobering fact of a family member in the hospital, and all it entails.The trying to be positive for the children (especially Cass, who notices everything and KNOWS something is wrong, even more than we've told him) coupled with the brittle, snappish silences born of stress and standing too long on the edge of fear and horrible what-ifs.
The moments of complete harmony until one or the other of us remembers....
Trying to be normal (going to the library! doing homework! eating ice-cream!) and then obsessing that we don't have a cell phone with us what if someone is trying to get a hold of us right now?
Wishing we could do more, whatever that is, however we can help.....
and hoping, hoping, hoping........

I'm thinking of all of you...
Hang in there.
*hugs*
Hang in there....if you need to talk, you have my number.
Yes, you're in my thoughts.
Very hard, holding it all together and keeping the balance. Thinking of you.
Sincerely hoping none of the horrible what-ifs come true.
{{{hugs}}} thinking of you all.
Oh - that's no good...I'll be thinking of you today and hope you have good news.
Hope your person is ok!
Comfort to you and your dear one.
I'll put a little prayer in...
Just so you know my thoughts are with you and your family, OK?
that's a tough one, j.
Tenterhooks are bad enough when you have some way to let it out, but even worse when you are trying to carry on like normal. Hoping it all comes right soon.
Yikes. You're in my thoughts, too.
I'm hoping too...
You are in my heart. I know about tough times, but life does go on, and so it should.
Oh, what beautiful little flowers! Sorry to hear about the hospitalization; thoughts and prayers to you and yours.
it is so hard to just have your life go on while someone is sick or dying. my mother is sick. we go visit, we drink wine bought with her money, and we try to have a normal time. but there's that elephant in the room...
