Saturday, March 31

It's been a long night. I walked around my house trying to say the right prayers in my head. Like if I say the right thing or wish the right wish everything will stop. Like I'm standing at the door to a secret society and I need to say the right thing to get in. But I don't know the password and I can't break the code. I lay in bed and wish I could trade places and close my eyes and will it to be so. But it's not working. I don't know what to do. I tried to tell myself that I need to get ready for a battle today but I'm not prepared and I'm not feeling very strong. But if tears could win a war, it would have been won last night in my bed.

Angie, this is so hard to know that you all are so worried and frightened. We are praying for you and your Dad and Mom every day.

Angie, I wish I had the perfect words to encourage you but they seem so empty. I love you and am praying for you.

I just noticed that you wrote that post two days ago. We got through Saturday and Sunday. We did OK. You actually did amazing. I loved watching the little looks between you and your Dad. Then you would both laugh because you didn't words to understand each other. I guess we'll just do this one day at a time.

Oh Ang, I'm so sorry. Your words make me feel and understand how lost you must feel. I love you guys, and I wish I could be there to help in some way. Virtual hugs will have to do for now. Praying for you all.

We are saying prayers for you and your family. Wishing at times like this that we weren't so far away.

Angie, I was just checking here, and I'm wondering how you are doing. I'm not sure if you've looked at your sister's blog lately, but I posted a Bible verse there that I find comforting and am clinging to whenever I feel sad and scared. I hope it will help you, too, at least a little bit.

Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you;
the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
- Isaiah 58:8

I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you a lot. For some reason that I don't understand, whenever I pray for your dad, even though I know this situation is so hard on your whole family, I pray for you especially. I feel like God has put you on my heart, and I wanted to let you know. I pray that you feel his love in this very difficult time. Love you Ang.
