Words escape me except to say that although I’ve never met you or your dear BJ, my thoughts and prayers and more thoughts and more prayers are with you. Although it may seem fleeting, I hope there is peace for you and your entire family during these difficult times.

J
We worked at CL and no at the same place. You and your family are in our prayers. I’ve had y’all put onto the Prayer list at our church. I wish I had a magic answer. We feel for you. We pray for an answer although have no idea what it is. Prayer and the will to survive are mighty things.

AT,

I’ve been reading your journal since I found out about it yesterday. I wish I had the words handy that would comfort you, but I’d just make a fool of myself. You have provided the template on how to honor your spouse “in sickness and in health.” I admire your devotion. Really.

I’ll second the remarks by “J” above. I don’t know if you’re a praying person, if you’re angry with God, questioning God, or turning to God. Please know that even in the midst of catastrophic human tragedy, Christ is a constant presence. Seek Him.

I’m praying for your sweetheart.

Just wanted to let you know that we’re keeping up with your posts. Let me know if you need anything. I’ll drop everything and head that way if you ever say the word. I won’t be any help of course, but I like the way Job’s friends behaved in his time of need. For the first seven days they just sat in silence with him, probably praying (if you ask me). Maybe that’s the only thing anybody could do. Although I’ve never been one to sit in silence…

I love you so much Jake, I can’t even begin to express how amazingly strong you are. But I can’t say that I’m surprised.

Greetings. We haven’t met, but what does that matter?
You’re getting a lot of love from this cold, dark place we call the net. The fine folks at newscoma, as well as Aunt B have you in their hearts and prayers. I’ve been reading your words and we at TN420.org wish to offer you our love, respect, and prayers as well.

There are no words to comfort in such a time. Only to say be strong and believe that God is good.

Very sincerely your’s,
captainkona, admin4, Freedom McDaddy, sparrow and all members of Cannabis Cove.

Keep up the positive. I am amazed at your strength. That will get you through. Toughness is a good trait use it to your families benefit. Admiration comes to mind in my thoughts toward AT.

AT, I know you don’t need anymore arm chair doctors but could you mention Reitor’s Syndrome to your doctors? My brother got very very sick when he was in college and ended up at Earlanger in Chattanooga for a long time. They could not figure out what was wrong with him and his symptoms started out like you wife’s. Severe body aches and fever. The doctors finally had the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta run tests on him and he had Reitor’s Symdrome and they were able to treat him before his kidneys totally shut down.

Just a thought. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.

We were away from the web most of the weekend, but based on LissaKay’s post to the Bridgage and reading your posts we are now up to date. We will be and are praying for you, BJ and the kids. We are going to keep on praying too, no matter how long it takes and where it takes us.

We are just down the road in Knoxville so like JenWright if you need anything please keep us posted and we will do what we can ASAP.

Stay strong, be couragous and trust God.

Headed over here after Busymom mentioned your story on her site. My heart is absolutely breaking, and I’m shedding tears for a family I’ve never met. For a mom who wants to be there for her kids. For a husband who never wants his lover and friend to go. My heart breaks for you, and hopes for you, and prays for you.

Hi,

I do hosting. I’ll be happy to host you gratis. This isn’t a time you should be worrying about money. I have a friend who can probably move your blog to my servers.

Please do let me know. I own my server. As long as you’re using less than 50 gig of bandwidth, I can help you out.
