But, since blog posting and candle lighting and prayers and hopes and sharing to some little degree in your family's amazing and brave and hard and scary journey is all that I can do, I will just keep doing it and hope that, mixed with all the other casseroles and blog comments and prayers and loving-things-done-in-LW's name, it will make some small dent in this amazingly horrible journey that you have to go through again. I am thinking what I will do for LW's book. And wishing that praying hard enough for something would make it happen.

I don't have any insight or comfort.

That and tears of hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
