I have made this one mine. Last night I sat down and wrote a note in the front of this journal. A note to my friends and family. Not a morbid note at all. See I am fine. Gonna be anyway. I am so very appreciative of every call, every meal, gift, visit, on an on. And, just like everyone else, I say "I'll never forget what you did for me." But I also know that time erases details from our memories. I know that in the next few days, there may be visits or calls or actions that happen without me being fully aware. So I have asked my family to keep this book available for my friends and family - to leave me notes, funnies, whatever. I have added drawings already from my Sunday School kids. I have listed "special angels" who have stepped forward and made things go smoothly. I have printed emails that touched me. (Ellen Kelly - lady you rock.) This will be my touchstone, my reminder of those who helped me carry this challenge. It will be a record of those who danced with me in this particular show. Whatever this book becomes in the next few weeks, starting it and adding the few things I have already added, has shown me just how blessed my family is.I learned years ago to focus on those blessings, and this will be a fabulous record for those blessings.
Til after this calms down.
Have a wonderful day. ---- Teresa

Teresa-I don't know what to say. I will pray-I am praying. I don't know what to say-but I know what I want to send you-if you feel like it-send me your address?

Sounds like a great idea...and something very special to look back on when this is all over. Thinking of you a ton and praying...
Love,

tears. you are so amazing. i love you!
Teresa, we ask God's blessings of courage, quiet peace, and strength to persevere during this diffcult time for you, Charles, Molly & Abby. God will take care of each one because you belong to Him. Love & Prayers, H & A.
I will dance with you in a heart beat. I think, truly that you are the one who rocks.
To your daughters and your husband I send blessings. I do know..yes, I do, how much they love you and cherish you, and how very scary this all is. I send to them my love and prayers and good wishes. Your wife, your mamma will fight this with all that she can, and I know that you all will be right there with her.
Do inane comments count? Because you know I'm good for those.
What a great idea, Teresa. Praying for you, of course! I know that tomorrow morning God will be with you. Just imagine that he's holding your hand throughout.
Love and prayers to you....and love and prayers to your family.
