This week has been one of EXTREME emotion !! If you know me well you know that if you are my friend there isn't much I won't do for you! I have often been told I do too much and am too trusting and giving, although I just feel it's who I am!!
Most of the time it just comes natural to help and give advise or just listen. I don't always have all the answers or all the money in the world to give but I give what I have!! Sometimes though I feel over whelmed at how to help people when "weeks" like this happen and have to pull strength from anywhere I can. I pray for myself and others daily as well.
I have a friend who's husband left her and is now bringing his affair public and has been giving her false hope, she is crushed, and she has 2 children to care for at the same time her life has been flipped upside down, I feel helpless that I can't take away her pain..
I have a friend who just had a baby and he is in the NICU and although his problems could be worse she is very much as any mother would stressed and worried. She also has a child at home who needs just as much love and care if not more, and she isn't able to go see her baby brother because of her age, only on a video screen. I am doing everything I can for them!
This morning I found out that my Grandma ( who was here in September) has been diagnosed with Colon Cancer!! They are going to do a bowel resection on Wednesday and hopefully it hasn't spread too far as she doesn't want to go through Chemo at her age. I have seen this far too many times when I worked at the hospital, I know the risks and odds. I don't even think I can say what is coming...
I am hoping and praying for each of my friends and finding the strength I need to keep strong for everyone....

Don't worry Barb, I am scared to. I bawled when i first read the email and when i talked to mom. I am praying every minute possible that everything is going to be ok. It is just so much all at one time. I am keeping Jill in mine with baby Corbin hoping that everything works out ok there. Sorry to hear about your other friends and her marriage thing. Don't worry I will be praying along with a lot of other people. I love you sister.
Barb,
Hang in there! You are doing everything you can and just know that you are a pretty strong women yourself!!
Thinking of you...
Sending strength and prayers your way!!
