pray for Sophie…

They are probably already in Detroit.

 

 

The emotions living through something this radical and huge are more than words could ever hope to capture.  More emotions than are even documented fill your heart.  And though mine are just a fraction of what Elaine and Brandon are feeling…I can’t seem to keep dry eyes.

 

 

I don’t know if you remember, Elaine.  When it was Trevy’s turn.  You said it was harder on your heart than when it was Sophie.  There was no way I could understand at the time.  I do now.

 

 

The following weeks…days…hours…minutes…seconds…

 

 

Will be spent in prayer.  The kind where Someone else helps to express my heart…

 

 

 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.  Romans 8:26

 

 

I hope you join me in wrapping Sophie and her family up in prayer throughout this week.

I called Elaine on Saturday, just cause I had to talk to her for a but before all this went down. Bothering me a great deal. More than I thought it would. Not really in the mood to write much.

She is one of the Beatles, kinds sorta. It would be like if Trevor had to go back in, or Sinead, or somebody like that. You guys were all right there from the beginning.

It's like family.

And it is hard.

I see you have been Bloginkering. Is that an effort to keep busy?

I don't think it was knowingly in an effort to keep busy...but I noticed today when I stopped and let it sink it. My heart is just too...I don't even know...

You OK today?

I didn't see any updates from Elaine, though I haven't been on Facebook yet either, no time yet. Disability meetings this afternoon and also picking Bennett up from school.

Thank you for posting and drawing attention to the opportunity to lift her up in prayer.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
