Visitors
This afternoon we had several visitors drop by. We had nice, quiet type conversations with them in the dining room, but my husband wasn't feeling well enough to talk to visitors.
They brought more cookies and another poinsettia, which I received with gratefulness, knowing it was from the kindness and love which they are showing me. I finally became bold and said, "I am thanking you now. Please understand that I am now overwhelmed and won't be able to write personal thank you notes." They warmly agreed with me that they understood that we really do appreciate the gifts, and I feel relieved that, yes, really, people do understand the kind of stress I'm going through in these days.
I was able to get to church this morning while one son stayed with dad and made sure he was well taken care of.

I know how much I enjoy helping others. So I realize there are people who really would like to help me and I will need to let them.

I am glad your SOn was there to relieve you for a bit. Take advantage of all the people that offer to cover for you. You will need the breaks, especially as time goes on.
