Caring Bridge - April 2020

Open with Struggles

I strive to be open, and authentic in my life, but I feel we all have layers that no one gets to see. When things are such a struggle, I tend to go quiet, and hide under the blankets in bed so no one has to see, but honestly we can’t do this without all of you.  Meaning I would normally go quiet and hide, but we do need all our friends and family to help us so I think I over share at times.

I posted on Facebook about the generosity of friends repairing our deck. When people give so much of themselves it floods me with emotions so I just type straight from the heart. (Never this wordy when I actually speak.) 

The kindness of our friends release stress we have had hanging over us. I get why people with health issues go bankrupt. Not to say we are there, but we struggle. It is so hard to say out loud. Or even here in the black and white. Like I said it is easier to stay in bed and hide from all, but we can’t hide from the cancer. 

We have had a few friends ask to set up a go fund me campaign and it bothers us both. But at the same time we are overwhelmed with the love and generosity of our circle. I literally cry with every notes, care package, meal, gift, and support because it overwhelms my heart with love. With each, we literally give a pray of thanks for each of you. We realistically know we can use help, so we thank each and every one of you.

You all are amazing souls. Thank you so much for all your support through words of love as well as gifts.
