When we ask each other how we are doing do we really want to know? I ask myself that sometimes when someone really tells me. I REALLY do care about how people are doing...sometimes it is just impossible for me to make any difference. I feel at a loss. Part of who I am is dealing with and solving problems...my life is so overwhelming now I really have no way of knowing how to help anyone else. You know the saying "You can't lift anyone up higher than you are". Believe me you do NOT want to be where we are.
We had an instance this week that has hit me pretty hard. Jeff felt the sting as well. There is a great family we have felt close to that has just had a baby. We are THRILLED for them. It is a wonderful thing to bring a new family member into the family. We have been so involved in the whirlpool of our lives we didn't even know our friend was going to have a baby. She was expecting for 9 months and had the baby without us even knowing...it has been a horrible realization for me. I am sorry to our wonderful friends out there...and don't forget our family. I have neglected you all. We still love you, think about you and want to continue our relationships. Sometimes it just seems to much of a mess to even contact anyone...we don't have anything to share. Our lives seem to be have been filled to the rim with sickness and death, lost dreams and it just seems to keep happening. We haven't forgotten you tho...please know we still love you.
Times will be better in the future. I mean, don't you have to keep hoping? In the meantime, we hope you won't forget us and will be there when the good times begin to roll again.
Hugs to all.

Hey there... we love you lots! Sorry things have been lousy lately. Take comfort... Heavenly Father wants us to be happy in this life. The Savior said time and again, "Be of good cheer." I believe firmly-just as Nephi- that when the Lord tells us to do something, there will be a way to do it. Hang in there and may you feel, "...encircled in the arms of His love..."
