Sometimes all you can do is keep putting one foot in front of the other and being there. The helpless feeling you get is perfectly normal Spark, so I hope that you do not put yourself down for that. You are human and seeing your hubby going through this hard time is bound to take a toll on you too. Sounds to me like you are doing the very best that you can and I love seeing that you have not lost your positive attitude and optimism. That in itself shows that you already are handling things as well as anyone could. *HUGS*Tracy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960615884046852962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-57767443622643548212011-11-01T03:03:04.931-04:002011-11-01T03:03:04.931-04:00Sometimes all you can do is grit your teeth and tu...Sometimes all you can do is grit your teeth and turn your shoulder into the wind. One of my mottoes has been "one breath at a time," because it felt like too much of a commitment to say "one day at a time." <br /><br />Sometimes you find that core within that you didn't even know was there, just waiting for that moment to show itself. <br /><br />Those 30 seconds are a great start, Spark! See if you can do 31! And then 32. I am rooting for you, waving my mental pom-poms, and praying for both you and your husband. May this dark night be brief and may the morning come soon.<br /><br />*hugs*DarcsFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757804686134389853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-83582534209207289002011-10-31T19:16:58.545-04:002011-10-31T19:16:58.545-04:00I find it hard to cope myself and live with health...I find it hard to cope myself and live with health fears all the time.<br /><br />I'm grateful that I'm alive, and that you are too, and just keep taking one day at a time.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-80056914602912304952011-10-30T21:09:34.502-04:002011-10-30T21:09:34.502-04:00Not sure I can be any help about how to deal with ...Not sure I can be any help about how to deal with things...

Like an abused dog, I'm sure another whipping is due any moment. I do understand and appreciate the fear, Spark, and we will continue to hold you up in prayer for you and Ken.DarcKnythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007911811157251252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-23127373059889808202011-10-29T06:24:59.750-04:002011-10-29T06:24:59.750-04:00I guess the most difficult one was my best friend ...I guess the most difficult one was my best friend Julie who was battling breast cancer when she was only 28 years old. She was understandably freaked out and her family especially were. I took days off to go to appointments and stayed in the hospital with her some. I used to try to make it fun and lighthearted on appointment days. Her doctor said she could always tell when I was with her.<br /><br />I love those gratitude thoughts there - it's wonderful that you are drawing closer to your family. Thank you for your comment on my blog, too - it made my day. I hope today is a good day for you.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.com
