We've been at death's door several times this year with our Abby (Leukemia), and recently this week when our teenage son was in a "should-have-been-fatal car accident" (and was left with eight major broken bones; pelvis, vertebrae, sternum, hand...). We got the phone call that he had been airlifted and for a time, we were sure he was probably gone. We understand the therapeutic nature of blogging about it, though others have criticized, and the incredible comfort and encouragement of thousands of people praying and caring. Knowing exactly what you are feeling, I know there is probably nothing I can do for you (or more accurately, nothing you will ask of us) except pray for your strength and comfort, and extend the willingness to help if you could think of something our family could do to help from a distance in small town Oklahoma. If there is, I hope you'll ask, because we understand...

My personal sanity was saved by a neighbor in her 60's (at the time almost 30 years ago when our infant son died). She credits her sanity to her faith when she too buried a beloved child much too early. You credit your family, your lovely daughter, and a recent widow you once interviewed. Your posts and "story" are a soul-saver; your grace and dignity are beautiful; your daughter will always know how loved she is; I will always remember your gift of sharing with us and I will always be grateful to you. God bless you.<br />Love to you alwaysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309232699484102532.post-78324202253073890672010-01-03T12:26:52.271-05:002010-01-03T12:26:52.271-05:00Thinking so much of you three -- you're all ab...Thinking so much of you three -- you're all absolutely amazing.<br />Interesting to hear that you lived in my hometown of Boone, NC and worked at the radio station (WATA?).<br />Your blogs are a great source of strength and inspiration, and will continue to help so many people "live healthy" through CJ's Thumbs Up Foundation.<br />Thank you for sharing.<br />Cathy Cooper (and loyal fan, CJ-the-cat)Cathy Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384347824323251090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309232699484102532.post-90326810615776747932010-01-03T11:05:59.584-05:002010-01-03T11:05:59.584-05:00Hi there, thank you for the update.

I continue to look for updates and let my husband know how things are standing. <br /><br />Your daughter and your family stands in our heart and we just can't believe how strong you are. <br /><br />The story you shared is amazing and I hope that should we have to endure something like this, we can handle it the way you all have.Emily's Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173649369793835227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309232699484102532.post-21011295161819147262010-01-03T10:36:01.162-05:002010-01-03T10:36:01.162-05:00Love ya, Roger.

I laughed to myself after I said to Jerry "I have butterflies in my stomach. I don't think I can sing at church this morning without knowing something." Duh!

You, in turn, are teaching all of us how to deal with things. <br /><br />If it's true that children choose their parents, Charlotte was one smart baby! I can't think of two better people to see her through this part of her life. That you're seeing the rest of us through it too is truly inspiring. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your sweet angel with us!Lia Tremblay (Joe's mom)http://www.joetremblay.comnoreply@blogger.com
