I have not been good about reading my favorites either lately, but have actually stopped by tonight to link a post to your site. By the time you read this, the post should be up. I hope my reason for the link will bring a smile to your face.

I, too, have a son and a daughter, one lives nearby, one lives in Vietnam. If not for them, I would not go on. I know where you are at, I am there too. I try and try to go on, but each day brings more challenges that I don't think I can face alone. This is no kind of life to live anymore, I just want it to be like it was...but I know it cannot be. My worries are the same as yours, and I am tired of it day after day. How to go on? I don't know that answer anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-27527243051488447882012-06-23T22:58:32.179-04:002012-06-23T22:58:32.179-04:00a 13 hour day. so very long. i am exhausted and ...a 13 hour day. so very long. i am exhausted and worn out and worried about so many things. but i did come back to see if anyone had stopped by. thank you both so much. i appreciate the words. sometimes, we just need the words, to see them. sometimes we just need more than a little reassurance than we matter somehow, someway; and that we will be missed should we not return.abandonedsoulshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020499806998154330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-56666323940333511202012-06-23T17:35:56.456-04:002012-06-23T17:35:56.456-04:00I didn't comment because we had already "...I didn't comment because we had already "talked" via email but I am also still here. It is easy to feel invisible in our widow worlds; I know I do often. We are all still out here in our own worlds of sadness and grief and exhaustion (and moments of peace, like today, feeling the sun on my face). I do hope that you are able to find someone in your city who can be a reliable friend. I know that I'm looking for that in my world too. It's unfortunate that our worlds are so physically far apart. I'm still here.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743446066024389563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6580898742645753422.post-43632729015395805972012-06-23T08:49:22.690-04:002012-06-23T08:49:22.690-04:00Please don't fade away!!! We have all been in ...Please don't fade away!!! We have all been in your place and there will be a flicker of joy or hope or purpose, usually when we think we have sunken as low as we think we can possibly go. I was sad to here of the loss of your brother. That is another hard blow to you I am sure. You are such a kind and gentle soul regardless of how others treat or respond to you. I am not sure why the world preys on the most vulnerable but such is life I suppose. Some of us perhaps are quicker to assume a f*ck you stance, I dont know. <br />When my mother died, I cried.... Not because I was going to miss her but for the loss of the relationship I worked so hard for and never attained. I came to realize that some people do not possess the ability to love and that is a terrible loss for them and those who did try. I am terribly sorry your brother shut you out but that was him NOT YOU!!!!<br /><br />I wish we lived closer. I will be your friend regardless and I do care about you. We have tried to do the long distance thing and the miles, grief, and self doubt have not helped to close the distance. But I will not abandon you.<br /><br />I had a thought, are you eligible for VA benefits? It pains me to see you have to suffer physically when your psyche is already so badly bruised and beaten. I also heard of some doctors who do bartering for theis services. Let me see if I can find more information for you.<br /><br />HUGS to you my friend.
