I wrote, this afternoon. Wrote, and wrote about the last 5 days.
And then I deleted it all.
How many words does it take to say, after all,
"I am buckled."

Not doin' so hot.
Clint and I hit the road for North Carolina last week, and a day into our trip got the news that all options to treat my sister's cancer have been exhausted: Her care has been turned over, primarily, to Hospice.
I wrote, this afternoon. Wrote, and wrote about the last 5 days.
And then I deleted it all.

I have no words either Lori but lots of hugs to all your family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Lori. Please know that if you need *anything* I will help however I can.
ReplyDeleteI also am wishing you strength and comfort and peace during this terribly painful time. I saw your FB status a while back and wondered what was up, but I had no idea how bad it really is....
Hang in there. And if you or the sis need an extra hug, I think you've got a Karmic stash in the hundreds of thousands.
ReplyDeleteIf y'all need anything, anything at all, just say the word.
I wish you were closer so I could give you a hug and lots of alcohol.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. I can't imagine what kind of pain you and your family are in right now. My thoughts will be with you.
ReplyDeleteLori:
ReplyDeleteHugs to you. I'm sorry.

ReplyDeleteI didn't respond to your FB message because I was speechless, as I am now.
ReplyDeletePrayers, love, and lots of virtual hugs are being sent to you right now!

Really sorry to hear this Lori. I can't add much, I can only suggest that you take time to talk to her about anything other than cancer or how she's feeling. It'll help both of you rise to the challenge of what's ahead. Peace to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart. Take as many hugs as you can get instead of pulling away. You'll need those hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Virtual hugs
