See that you are doing the best you can... And - how mad Obama may be if he reads it- you know you can, yes!!! I look forward knowing what you and sisters are going to do... I won't be telling you that you must turned the page (that is probably a french expression I don't know how to translate...) because I know it isn't as easy as one says or believes when one is not as deeply concerned as you are... Never hesitate to mail me to my yahoo's adress... Love to you all.

This resonates with Obama's book title - The Audacity of Hope. You go girl. Your courage is a beacon. Your heart is dear. Love and hugs for you.

You can see this on tree trunks where limbs have been pruned, or on flesh healing from a cut. We sense the healing going on within, protected in depths both strong and tender. Certain balms encourage healing, but even still, healing takes time. Thank you Erin for continuing to share your journey with such precious, raw emotion and insight. Hugs and Love.

]]> Comment on Decisions Part I: The virtues of quitting by ruby http://thelawlerfamily.org/archives/448#comment-427 ruby Wed, 05 Nov 2008 17:25:52 +0000 http://thelawlerfamily.org/?p=448#comment-427 This is very well stated Jill, and a pertinent, practical consideration of quality versus quantity to include the fragility of human life. Truly there is more to explore when it comes to quality of life than what we already or will ever know, and surely more than what science offers in terms of lengthening life at all cost. Heartfelt or conscious alignment and resonance with real circumstances are less measurable yields, yet no less significant in value, no less brilliant in realization. Hugs for ya'll.

I find if I sit too much at night I think too much. Do you have a exercise place close by that you could use? I also know that work has kept me in check and meeting people so I think more positive thoughts. Write when you can Love Aunt Donna Diane you will come through this and yes try to stay busy.

]]> Comment on Three parts to a Friday by osmun http://thelawlerfamily.org/archives/435#comment-422 osmun Sun, 19 Oct 2008 17:20:41 +0000 http://thelawlerfamily.org/?p=435#comment-422 Hi all We just said good-bye to Greg,Jodi, the kids and dogs after having Sunday breakfast at a nearby restaurant. So it's time to be a little blue, clean up the house and perhaps watch NFL football. Greg et al came in for the MSU vs OSU football game. Boo Hoo, state looked bad, but we had fun tailgating with Greg's college chums and watching the game on the tv they cleverly hooked up. Dave particularly enjoyed seeing the MSU campus again and marveling at the changes ( all for the good, by the way) What a beautiful ,crisp fall day it was. You may have seen on Facebook that Jack, the black lab ,was diagnosed with a malignant tumor on his leg and had it removed last week. They have been waiting for the lab results to determine the severity, or staging of the disease. Get this, the lab (no pun intended) work came back as a lypoma (non-cancerous). While neither they nor the vet believe the results and are having them redone, it is still good news. A lab error is what we had hoped and prayed for in Craig's case. So go figure, the friggan dog is 56 years old in dog years and it looks like he might just make it. Where is the justice! We talked about Craig and all of you and about our trip to Denver. While our lives go on, don't think for a moment that we aren't thinking of Craig and wondering how you are doing. Craig would have gotten a kick out of the grandkids' dancing and other shenanigans. So, we send our collective LOVE to you and thank you for continuing to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Glad to learn that you got together with Craig's terrific group of friends. He is so greatly missed by those who held him dear. Love, Aunt Joan Hi all
