1 Thank you all once again for all of the thoughts and support.
2 Wow.
3 It’s truly overwhelming, and my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
4 It’s really been an interesting go of it, all told.
5 One thing that works is remaining spiritual and realizing that life has been proving things to me for quite a while now, and that somehow, somewhere, there is reason to put faith in something bigger.
6 The same little miracles and coincidences that follow me ordinarily are occurring all around lately. I’ll try to make a list, but it’s been difficult. I have virtually no access to the internet, for example. We’re at my dad’s house, and he has an AOL account that gives him a half-hour of internet per day.
7 I’m trying to keep up with online classes, answer e-mails from students at school, make picture boards for the ceremony on Thursday, and use my cell phone.
8 The cell phone, when used often enough, tends to go dead. Fortunately, I keep a cord on my every hour of the day so that I could communicate with the outside world, and thank goodness!
9 But trying to work with no internet is frustrating. I get home and all I want to do is thank people right and left for such amazing thoughts, comments, prayers, wisdom, kindness, and love.
10 So much love, indeed.
11 I’ve been celebrating a bit, believe it or not. If you are the slightest bit religious, you may know why. My Mom is no longer paralyzed with a broken leg, a tumor, and myriad other health concerns. I picture her instead young once more, dancing (she was a marvelous dancer!) and going home to visit her parents. And I think that when measured against eternity, our separation is but a blink, so we all will be received in Graceland.
12 Song reference, and an Elvis reference as well.
13 Anyway, I do need sleep, but I wanted to hop on the DN and thank everybody and anybody. SO many of you caring and being so kind, it’s unutterably beautiful.
14 All I can say this day is thank you.
15 Thank you.
16 That’s all.
17 Peace.
