Dear Eric, I usually do not log on to this site on weekends but something made me give in to the temptation. I heard of this news Sunday and I have been snowed in since then; I could not wait to respond to this news and to let you know I am right here too. Candles are burning for Caryn and the entire family during this hard situation. Please know that prayers have been revised for her and repeated since I read this.

I admire your strength and devotion to this sweet woman. Also know that I have been saying special prayers for you. Eric, I wish all the best for both of you but need to remind you to please take care of 'you' during this balancing act. Although our stories are different, I too am a caregiver to the best person I know. And with that I just need to send you a big hug. I cannot even imagine how you are digesting this news.

Stay strong My Friend and remember we love you both.>>Believe51 and The Mighty Oak

PS: The hardest thing about reading your post was hearing what is happening to a very special friend. Love to you Caryn. Please just do your best and we will do the rest. We all love you so very much!!
