I survived the weekend. There was no way that could have happened without all of you. I owe you so much. I wish things were different, but wishing won't make it so.

Special thanks to those of you who reached out to me with their PMs. You afforded me the much needed opportunity to communicate the kind of personal thoughts and feelings that would have been impossible to convey in a public forum.

I had a difficult conversation with my daughter, Heather, a little while ago. It hurts her to know that I'm suffering and that she's limited in the things she can do to alleviate that suffering. She told me that she was going to do her best to spend at least some time with me on the weekends. That will certainly help.

A very wise friend, (you know who you are), told me that I should try not to take on too many things at once. She felt that doing so would overwhelm me and make matters even worse than they are. It's not easy for me to do that because I have so many things to be anxious about. I'm going to try to follow her advice as best I can.

I have to say this without sounding too melodramatic. I can't say for sure what might have resulted due to the extreme stress I was feeling if not for the actions of Lyrical. Her prompt response to my cry for help, as well as knowing the right things to say prevented the possibility of things really getting out of hand. I'm adding this to the list of all the things she's done that have helped me.

I'm trying to hang on. I'm asking you, my dear friends, to continue your love and support. Believe me,you're all making a real difference.
