Updates

I always wish to have good news for my updates, but that's not usually the case. I have a few people who need good thoughts and wishes...please keep them in your thoughts and hearts.

First, I was wrong about the spelling of Amy's baby's name...it's Caelan, not Calen. He's still in the NICU, they were thinking about sending him home soon, but then last night he suffered an episode of sleep apnea. Now they're not sure how much longer he's going to have to stay there. Amy did tell me that they might send him home, but with a monitor to keep a check on things. I can't even imagine how hard it must be for her to not be able to hold her new baby whenever she wants. She told me the other day that they took some of the tubes out of him and she took some more pics, and she promised to e-mail me some so I can see him. I'll post some when I get some.

Around Christmas I was reunited with a dear friend of mine who I hadn't spoken to in years. She's awful stressed out right now with a new job, selling her house, and possibly moving to Florida. To add to that, she just found out that her brother was in the hospital to have a heart cath. done and now he's having open heart surgery tomorrow. Please keep both them in your thoughts and hearts. Denise is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and my heart breaks for her. I wish I could see her again, it's been so long. I have a few pics of us together, but none of them are scanned. I'll see what I can do about that.

Shortly after the new year I got an e-mail with horrible news about another friend of mine named Helen. (Not the Hellen in OZ.) Her fiance, the man she has been living with for over 5 years, was murdered. As of the other day, the police didn't seem to have any real information for her, but she told me they were coming over later to talk with her, and she hoped they had some news for her. I haven't heard back from her yet about that meeting. She profusely needs to be in our thoughts and hearts! After our talk the other day I realized just how depressed she is...as if losing her fiance wasn't bad enough, she told me more about her. She was married before and her husband killed himself. That's tough enough to get through...my heart truly goes out to her. She was also in a bad car accident and trying to recover from it when her fiance was murdered. She said she just doesn't feel like living anymore...that she knows she couldn't commit suicide, but she just doesn't want to be here anymore. My heart broke when I read her words. Partly because I felt so sad for her, but mostly because I could relate. I've felt exactly that way so many times in my life...it was like I was reading my own words.

I need to end for now, but I'll update more later. Please keep these wonderful people in your thoughts and hearts...it would mean so much to me. Until later...love and hugs!
