Following your journey has been so meaningful to me as I walk my own. You are a lantern in the dark. Thank you.

Thank you, Jill. That means a lot to me.

Oh, Pam. I read this with a heavy, heavy heart. And yet, with gratitude, because you are showing me the future, and it helps to know what is coming. Grace and peace to you both as you embark on this next phase of the journey. And thank you. These are hard things to reckon with and hard to write. But your writing truly is a gift to those of us a little bit behind you.

Thank you. If anything I'm sharing in these posts helps even one person on the same journey, I will have managed to make something good come of this awful situation.

That is exactly how I feel, Pam. Exactly.

You are preparing and that is all you can do. Enjoy the get together and let family know what you need.

You are carrying a heavy burden, but Mike is lucky to have you. Many hugs and prayers as you continue on this journey.

This is a lot for you to carry. Trust yourself. I'm thinking of both of you and praying for unexpected gifts, no matter how small they might be, to sustain you.

Thank you. It's hard to trust yourself when you're doing something for the first time--something that so deeply affects a person you love.

Mike could not have a more devoted partner. Your wise composure is an inspiration. You have my love and admiration.
