Good Luck to C!

Good morning, Amanda.

A quick note this morning to wish C--and you and J--well today. I imagine this weekend was an emotional one; I hope you were all able to make some fun with it all. I hope also that you can take some comfort in the fact that as much as she is going far away, she is going to be close to family.

I'm hanging in there...a bittersweet weekend getting to hang out with D's sisters but knowing they were here because she and her dad are very sick. She did get out of the hospital on Friday, but she's in a wheelchair now, and she's still experiencing a lot of pain. Sunday night I was struck with a profound--and knowing--sadness (as was L), and the feeling hasn't left me. Last night I went to bed at 8, partly because of my sadness and partly because I decided that I really need to take care of myself and try at least to get enough sleep. I can't handle my emotions and stress well when I'm overtired; sleep seemed like a good alternative to sitting around crying. I have a big day at school today, so I'm sure I'll be grateful I went to bed early.

Good luck today with C's send off...I'm thinking of you all and sending my love.
xo,
Barb
