I miss you all, dear sisters

Dearest Sisters,

I have not posted in quite sometime and wanted you to know how much I miss all of you. My mother-in-law has stage 4 lung cancer and is not expected to survive. We have been in Minnesota taking care of her and feeling blessed to be with her, but so saddened at the days to come. We really love her so much.

While we were gone we sold our home and are now back in San Luis staying at a hotel while we wait for our leased home to be available. It has been such a trying summer and I keep my faith close in my heart that things will be better. One of daughters is not speaking to us and our other daughter has become distant. I never dreamed that during times like this there would ever be abandonment issues from our children. I pray each day fro the widom and grace to stay on the path and to love those around me. I find myself wandering through the brambles, lost at times, looking....searching for the path right next to me. It is here with all of you that I feel comfort, my sisters.

Chelee, I wept when I read your post, you have always been so special to me, and I am so sorry that I was not here when your mother passed away, to comfort you and wrap you with my love. I lost my mother 22 years ago and I know how painful that loss is. I still see her walking towards me with open arms, as your mother is doing now with you. I grieve along with you and send you my prayers and love today.

Grace, thank you for remembering me. You will never know how much your email impacted my life. I awoke this morning with you on my mind and felt humbled to have you as a friend. You are amazing and I love you, my sister.

Please know that though I have not written or posted, you are never far from my heart. You have made the difference in my healing. Sleep sweetly, dear sisters, God loves us all.

Love, Vickie
