Being there

There are times that I am sad that I am far away from some dear friends. But I am very grateful for the internet because it brings us close together. Right now I am having a hard time that I am far away from Donnann.

Sometimes the only thing I can do is just being there. Well right now it is only on the phone but I am there. Today she reached out. It was a hard day yesterday. A first major milestone and can I tell you that it just sucks. Life is not fair. Sometimes I just want to stomp and cry. Other times I want to hop on a plane. More often then not I just want to make it all better. I wish I could because it is just not fair. Sometimes I can do is just listen.

Her other dear friend Tracy and I are putting together an album for everyone that sent balloons up. I am amazed by the beautiful pages that people have sent in. The thought, the cards the things that people are willing to do. Her other friend that is close to her is putting together a fundraiser to help with the medical costs in their town. She sent me the flier today. I am so grateful to Jennifer and that she is there for Donnann.

For all of us that can not be there in person, I would like to come up with something, I am asked all the time by people what can I do? Well I think we can all do something during the same time as there fundraiser. I will post details about that when I get it all in order.

For today, I am grateful that I was able to be there when Donnann needed someone. I am grateful to the others that can be there for her.
