My Daughter Is So Sick
I wish my plate wasn't so full. My daughter is so very sick-all I can do about it is let her know how much I love her and wait on the doctors to make decisions. My prayers are that she has surgery this week or next - she is in so much pain and there is just no relief from it. If G-d really is so merciful, she wouldn't be in such pain now. I just want her to get well soon so I can stop crying and maybe get some sleep. This is just tearing me apart. She wants to be so independent, yet she needs to have me around her. When the pain hits her she just doubles over and cries. Jen is a tough girl, but this is more than she can handle. I'm not used to seeing her crying. I'm praying for her.
It's so lonely
Two years ago today, my dear spouse passed away. I lost a big part of my soul then and have never gotten it back. People tell me it gets better. My question is when? People tell me that G-d never puts more on your plate than you can handle. My plate seems to overflow tonight. This is one time that I am having such trouble handling the loneliness. I know this will pass, but I will never forget. The emptiness is almost overwhelming. I love you Lori.
