Christine, I would add to your beautiful and touching words,

STOP: S-Stop, T-Take a Breath, O-Observe, P-Proceed.

A friend has this on her business card and I love it. I’m not sure where it comes from but it helps me when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

Best wishes to Julie and Kurt and their daughter. Liz

Thoughts and prayers to Kurt and Julie. With my experiences from a sick child years ago, and a sick grandchild just two years ago, I can say how important that attitude will be. Support from those that know and love you and the support from strangers that also love and support you in anonymity will help carry us along through the toughest, darkest times. Even when we can’t pray any more, there are those that will do it for us. May the collective spirit of healing and love surround this family and help carry them along.

Christine,

Isn’t it wonderful that that the Lord puts people in our paths that can really enrich us and give us such beautiful insights! And I find it interesting that often these are people facing difficult transitions in their lives. I work with young children and in the future, when I feel like I am having a bad day, I will indeed just look around at the wonder before me. I will also, at the same time, whisper a little prayer for your friends and their little angel. Yes, there IS prayer in school.
Love,
Sam R.

Since I am following your uplevel course I say thank you every day ^- for big things and small ones. My cousin is in the same situation as your friends and she sends regular reports via email as well. I send her lots of love and good karma back. And I am doing the same for your friends. They have the right spirit for whatever life throws at them. God bless.
