Keep hoping and keep looking. It's okay to question and yell at God--anyone who tells you otherwise never had to. Blessings to your whole family. There are lots of people sending every good thought, praryer, wish and hope your way.

The plan to wait with the kids on the brain thing is good. Better to have some / most of the info before explaining the future options. The more info you have, the more detail you have, the better explaination. Rejoice in the hope, recover in the present, relish the past, reingiverate / reinvent your future with BJ. You have the chance to do all the things now that you thought last week may never happen. Do not let this opportunity pass. I do not think you will, just a reminder that the fact that there is a definate future with BJ is a huge step forward and should be a huge encouragement. Know we are praising God for all that He has done, all that He will do and we are praying for continued good to great news. We will be praying until the end of this ordeal. We are not going anywhere.

One morning before too long, this will all be a bad dream that you've awakened from, at last. You are incredibly tough. Amazing what humans can do when they have to.

You are very lucky to have such a loving family. But as I said in another of the posts eaten by the dog, which I think your sister read, I understand what you are doing here. My family (dam Irish) are very close and very open, but there were things that I couldn't say during the tuff times to their faces or on the phone. I found at outlet to vent and pray and cry and just be really open on the internet. Looking back, who knows if I could have made it through without the support I received (which was miniscule compared to what you get...maybe I should get a blog). I can't speak for everyone, but there will be no getting bored for me or my family who now are following also. I hope there is a big party when this is over and I can meet your lovely wife, your supportive and loving family and you, who I admire for your strength and honesty. Damama, Thank you for allowing us to support your family. I know you probably could be THE support, but it warms my heart that there are still so many people in this world that care and that you would let us help. The world could be a better place if we all could remember that we are a community and without each other we would all dissappear. Love, prayers and a healing shawl for BJ coming from San Diego (I will send it to BF when it is complete and hopefully Jen will deliver it. And I then I expect to see it at the celebration when all this is over, even if it takes a while.) Vickie and the miracle Ladybug AT,
