Dear Katie,
I wish you strength in the moments you need it the most. In times I need it the most myself, I need music. So I searched and found for you something that has helped me, and hope it will help you.

Take care of yourself and those who love you,
Han

Katie, I know the strain that caring and worrying for a sick parent can have on a person. I hope you are taking care of yourself and finding ways to regenerate your spirit.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you know that you are surrounded by friends here in blogland, that will hold you up if you falter, hug you if you need one, and surround you with love.

Dear Katie,
You already know that i am keeping you , your mom, your family in my prayers.  I walked the path you are now walking last year, it is not easy.  You are an amazing daughter...among other roles.  Remember to take care of yourself, too....and to accept any help that is offered.

Hi Katie,
I am so sorry for what happened to your mom and as you know I was glad because you were right there for her. You have had quite a lot going on lately, without a real break to care for yourself, Rob couldn’t be there with you all the time either, which doesn’t make the situation easier. Sad smile       But I’d wish for you to know something . I admire you endlessly for your strength and your positive way of looking at things, especially in rough times. I don’t know how to tell you how awesome this is. It is wonderful and I wish I had some more of that. Smile And I want you to know that you are in my heart.

And…therefore I wish for you to have a moment to relax e.g. with a yummy cup of coffee, tea or some other nice little treat! (I had a photo here, but my email obviously hates coffee).

I hope you can create a little quality time for yourself now and then, this little moment where you relax and your thoughts wander away from any sorrow.  And when Rob returns I wish for the two of you to have a sensational reconnection. Wishing your mom to heal well and sending positive thoughts and prayers.
love, hugs and a squeeze from Tilda and me
Nina

Follow That Snowplow
It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that visibility was almost zero when the little blond got off work. She made her way to her car and wondered how she was going to make it home. She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought about her situation.

She finally remembered her daddy's advice that if she got caught in a blizzard she should wait for a snowplow to come by and follow it. That way she would not get stuck in a snowdrift. This made her feel much better and sure enough in a little while a snowplow went by and she started to follow it.

As she followed the snowplow, she was feeling very smug as they continued and she was not having any problem with the blizzard conditions. After quite some time had passed, she was somewhat surprised when the snowplow stopped and the driver got out and came back to her car and signaled for her to roll down her window. The snowplow driver wanted to know if she was all right as she had been following him for a long time. She said that she was fine and told him of her daddy's advice to follow a snowplow when caught in a blizzard.

The driver replied that it was OK with him and she could continue if she wanted but he was done with the Wal-Mart parking lot and was going over to K-Mart next.

  11. HUGE THANK YOU's to all of you!!! You have no idea how much I LOVE this post, as well as all of you! You know, life has been tough this year, but again, when I think about it all- I am truly blessed and feel lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. You all are special to me! I am touched with your kindness. And I am touched by the kindness that you all, as well as a whole lot of others- some even strangers, left on my "we need prayers" post. Rob thought that it was wonderful too. And he even posted a comment. That was a first!

    You know me, can't really say things in a word. Haha! "Touched." That would be the first thing. When I first read this, as I mentioned above, it made me cry. Every day is pretty hard around here, and at the end of the day I get home from running around between mom, who I spend most time with and Dad. So then to come home and read this- well... Just THANKS SO MUCH! And LOVE!

    So, here is what I have to say:

    Cuz T: Thank you for posting this! You are sooo sweet! I loved the pics that you shared. The first two made me LOL! That cat is just like my kitty I think- in attitude really! And if I ever want entertainment, I will hand one of our dogs a spoon and get a lobster. ;D I hear you on the 30 minute thing. I do. I am doing that now! Unless all you-know-what breaks loose I am pushing myself into a slower start each day, and that is very helpful I have found. At the end of the day I am good for not much. Anyway Rob gets bossy about eating and bed from afar. I hear you and <3 to you Cuz!

    Terps: I loved your Haiku! BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you!! I miss you and know that you are going through some stuff too. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am only sorry that i am not around to help out. Though I am glad that all is going well now. Thank you again for the sweet sentiments and I send them back at you as well! <3 to you Terps!

    Jan: The picture of the puppy is too cute!! And I loved the words on the other. Very good to think about. It is the hardest thing ever that we all are scattered around the globe- especially when friends are in need. I appreciate the kind thoughts, and love too! <3 to you, Jan.

    I have to go get ready to get to Mom now. She's not doing very well- in that she needs full care and responds but minimally. She can't even sit up by herself. It is sad. She's in a very good rehab place there- though it is 25 minutes down the highway! I like to get there in time to try to feed her some lunch. So... I will be back to reply to more of your kindness! LOVE!

  12. Sorry you all! Here I am back to finish my thank yous! I SO appreciate all of your kindness. :)

    Han: Thank you for the beautiful song!!! Originally Cat had up the Maroon 5 one, and I loved that too! LOL! It made me smile! I am just like you in that way- I very much find solace in music during hard times. It helps one to get out some emotion I think. Or to disappear in it all. All good! :) I am trying my best to take care of me too, through it all. Sometimes it is easier than others. But I know that it is important. Today is a forced day off because it is snowing all day. It is kind of nice really. And then I have Rob to help me with it all too- even from a distance. For that I am truly grateful! Thank you for your kindness! <3 to you, Han.

    Hi Queenie! :) You know, it is so sweet of you to come by here and leave such beautiful quotes, as well as sentiments. I know that you face some very big challenges these days. I think of and pray for you- as you are doing for me. And I hope that you are feeling good! Thank you very very much! <3 to you, Queenie.

    Hi Christina, :) Thank you for the kind words and wonderful pics/sentiments! I lOVE them! And you all are big spirit lifters for me. I feel very blessed! And I know how lucky I am to have come across the land and met such wonderful folks too! I feel the love! <3 to you, Christina.

    Hi Abby, :) You have been wonderful and I appreciate both your kindness and your advice- very much. I am only sorry that you recently walked this path as well. Not fun one bit. Thank you for the sweet words- I am paying attention and I feel the love! <3 to you, Abby!

    Hi Lisa, :) Thank you so much! It is very kind of you to join in with the good wishes. I truly appreciate your efforts. I also love the pic/sentiments! I am getting in as many moments as I can, and treasuring each one. That is for sure! :) <3 to you, Lisa.

    Awww! I LOVED these sentiments, Sunny! Thank you SO much! <3 to you, Sunny!

    That is such a sweet message, Nina! :) I LOVED it! And I am taking a few moments for that very thing today. OK- the weather kind of forced it and all, but it feels great! I am also looking forward to being with Rob again- not sure when just yet but we will figure it out. I am all in for some fun with my spanky man! LOL! Thank you for your kindness and love and hugs and the TIlda squeeze! Give her a teeny tiny one back. ;) I am sure that she is growing and changing each day. What fun! Enjoy! <3 to you, Nina.

    Thanks SO much, Meredith! :) First of all- this idea that you had was SO SWEET! You are so kind to think of me about it all. Thank you!! I loved the pics/sentiments. They are very good to think about! And the joke made me LOLOL! Sheesh- perhaps there is that action going on somewhere in a parking lot around here. It is snowing AGAIN. All day long! Enough already! <3 to you, Meredith.

  13. LOL Ronnie! :) What cute little finger friends. They truly were not accidentally squished up in a door! LOVE the pic! :) Thank you for all of the kindness, emails, and love! Means the world to me! <3 to you, Ronnie.

    BEAUTIFUL DF! :) Thank you so much!! That says so much. And I LOVE it! <3 to you, DF.

    Thanks SO much, Clara! :) I feel the love coming from all over, and I appreciate it all, more than words can express! ...I think that that is exactly right. There is good, as well as moments of beauty mixed into the sadness and crazy. I see them. And I am truly grateful! And they sure do help! <3 to you, Clara!

    LOVED this Sarah! :) And the Frosty pic had me laughing!! Too funny!! Loved the Need you Now video. You know, when you are going through a lot of stuff, you realize there are always others going through more. It is quite humbling. This was beautiful! Thank you for sharing! <3 to you, Sarah.

    Minelle!!! :) What a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL painting! Really- I LOVE it! Gosh! You are so talented!! Thank you! I love the words as well. And I feel it and them. gorgeous! I will look at it often! :) <3 to you, Minelle.

    Aww PK! Thank you for your very kind words, emails, love- all of it! I do know all that and I feel like a very lucky person. I am touched by you and everyone that is helping me along. Because you all are. You know, I am out of town, most of my friends are back home. I didn't grow up here really, so you know, I don't know too many people here. Some. And honestly at the end of the day I am not up for much more than getting back to the house and chilling, then falling into bed. Repeat. So you all have helped. And I am very very grateful for my friends from the land! You all are special! <3 to you, PK!

    Thanks again for the post, Cuz T! You are the best! Many hugs and love,

    <3 Katie TfT, or just "Trouble" as Rob likes to tease! ;)
