To Kathy, Jim and Evie,
I have been a member of this site for quite a while now although I must admit that some times I stay gone for weeks at a time. I am unsure as to the full impact of Evie's PTSD and/or cancer. But tonight I read this post from beginning to end and as I am usually not excessively emotional, I was overcome by so many different emotions! Some time sad, then happy, then just plain angry (not with the people and their entries, but with your situation in general).
I admire all three of you immensely for all that you are going through and handling. I have two boys myself (both undr two) and a partner with PTSD and I just cannot imagine ever being capable of the strngth that your entire family seems to have. I know it has been said before by another member but I cannot remember who- it just sucks that these things happen to 'innocent' people. I am not a religious person but whilst reading your posts I found myself praying for you all!
I find it very encouraging that you are continuing to support and love each other through all of this, and I hope that if ever I was faced with such trials that I would be able to handle them as well as you do. I sit here typing these words and I realise that this may seem very conceited however I just felt the need to express my feelings. I have never spoken to Evie before but from what I have read she should be Hercules and the Hulk put together with all that she has been through.
Anyway, before I 'annoy' you further I will sign off but please know that my thoughts are with you all. I hope everything works out perfectly for you and your family from the bottom of my heart.
