Re: from Betty to Barb/everyone

No forgiveness necessary, Betty. There is just so much a person can carry

all alone and this is a good place to start to get help and comfort.

I am so sorry to hear of all the heartache but having someone to talk

to is a great help.

There were times when I was ready to run away, but then I though,. "Who

will do what I am doing? No one." Besides I had made a promise many years

ago to be with him through good and bad. We were married for fifty one

years. Taking care of a loved one is just, " something you do."

Do not feel bad about telling folks how you feel. We are here to help

if we can.

Many times I have wondered why I am staying on this list, but now I

know. Maybe I can give some encouragement and insight into some of the

problems.

Each one on this list is precious to me. Each one has a different day

and different circumstances and most are hurting in some way. If I can

help, I will.

Remembering all of the past ten years can bring to mind some of the

ways Ralph and I contended with our challenges. It wasn't all bad. We had

many unforgettable times. We just tended to enjoy the good times more.

Get some rest and have a good day.

Barb in Arlington.
