Tuesday, May 11, 2010

I went to exercise class this morning. I am beat. I did some weeding, used the grass clippers, and went around the house with the trimmer. I didn't finish as it was past noon and I needed to walk Danny and get some lunch. Afterward, I was tired out. It had clouded up and started raining. It is a light rain. It hasn't penetrated under the trees. The ground is bone dry for the first time in almost a year. The rain will most likely dampen it again.

I finished most of the projects I had on my list. Now I have a list for projects in Vineland.

News from the Vorlon Wife.

I have been combing the internet for days, weeks and hours now...searching for answers, only to find more questions. Then I ran across this blog.

Truth be told, I am not a blogger, have never even read a blog, but I found myself spending the past 3 hrs, so involved with following your's and Ted's story and of course, Danny Boy's.

I felt the ups and downs, the highs and lows, I smiled, laughed at some of the wording and cried at the loss of your beloved husband. My heart felt sympathy goes to you and your family.

I am myself going through Chemo, my husband is currently undergoing several procedures as he is under suspicion for both throat, lung and colon cancer. I do not need to be told about his outlook if the doctors confirm this. It is a waiting game for the next days.

I must say though, that you are an inspiration and the strength you display in the midst of the storm has given me a breath of fresh air, and so I simply wanted to let you know that the words of both Ted and yourself, have made a difference, even years later. Thank you for sharing your life and story.

God bless you always, pressed down and overflowing!

Hi Karol, Isn't it just amazing how yours and Ted's story are now inspiring someone else that is facing tough times. I am not one bit surprised that your story of courage after Ted's death have strengthened Melissa. I'm very pleased that she found your blog and can draw strength from the fact that you are an overcomer (bigtime). Even though I know that your heart still aches deeply at times, you certainly do move forward in some way each day. I always admire your day's accomplishments. Ted would just marvel at what you've been able to do.

As for Melissa and her husband, I will keep them in my prayers also. Love, Ruth
