Will check into your blogs but maybe I’ll lay off for a bit – seems I don’t have much more to say. Thanks for all your support and friendship. I really appreciate it. Jean

    You are on my mind today! I just wanted you to know how much you are loved by all of your sisters in Christ! The sun is out here in Michigan and I hope it’s shining brightly up north of here!
    Much love, Jean!

    Jean, you write whatever you want, whenever you want. I am always happy to read it. Don’t ever feel that you have to be “entertaining.” I do think it is very important for you to have an outlet to express how you feel. Caring for an AD spouse is, IMO, the toughest thing a spouse can go through. You do what helps you the most. I’m praying for you.

    Love, Laura

    Jean–you can visit blogs or rest, whatever restores your soul. Even when you visit blogs, you don’t need to say anything–just enjoy them.

    What you say always rings true and heartfelt. I enjoy our bloggish bond, and whenever it feels right to you, I’ll look forward to ‘seeing you’ online. I feel your fatigue–spent the day, or rather yet another day, packing up my Mom’s life. Too sad sometimes, isn’t it?

    Jean, don’t feel obligated when the words won’t come… Take a break. We all need one from blogging.

    I enjoy your blog and the sensitivity and caring you give us.

    I’ll be checking in on you.

    Hugs,
    Mary

    Jean, I will miss you and wonder how you both are doing. Did someone say something to offend you? I hope not; it is so important to have a way to express your feelings. Moreover, you can help people who may go through this in the future.

    Jean,
    Thanks for stopping by my blog tonight. I understand what you’re saying. Take your break, but please come back when you’re ready.

    Thinking of you and praying for you both.

    Did you ever see Forrest Gump? Forrest says,[running] I had run for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours.
    [he stops and turns around]
    Young Man Running: Quiet, quiet! He’s gonna say something!
    Forrest Gump: [pause] I’m pretty tired… I think I’ll go home now.

    Jean, don’t stop running. I know you’re tired. You can take a break, but don’t stop. You’re in my prayers this night. I pray for your speedy return selfishly as much as for you. Writing is good for the soul–and reading yours helps me I hope to “get it” when I might not have otherwise. Do you know how many people I tell your stories to? My son Greg for one, last evening about a valiant, witty pilot who could relate to that night flight. Don’t quit yet, dear one. Love you, Annette

    Jean, You are in my thoughts and prayers daily, and the times when it is all just too much to put down into words here are still completely understood. Just know that we are all here with you in spirit and love you dearly …and when you do feel like writing, we will all still be right here, sharing life with you, and holding you in our prayers and in our hearts.
    Love, Trish

    I will think of you often. I feel a kindred spirit with you because of my mother. I understand and nod in agreement with many of your posts.

    I don’t have much to add. Everyone else said it so eloquently – and truthfully.
    You will never run out of things to write. You may think so at the time, and goodness knows we all need a break, but you will come back – with renewed energy.
    And we’ll (can I speak for everybody here?)be waiting with open arms.
