Thank you
Thank you, to every one of you who have commented, or e-mailed or called. I appreciate it so much, I can’t even say. But I’ll try, in my spaazy way.
(my mom and her Crivvie, this Christmas at our home)
The knitters and spinners have been amazing with their offers of support and food, it’s been much, much, much appreciated. Cathy who met my mother when I brought her into Two Sisters and Ewe nearly made me cry today with her kind words (some of the stuff you all say might make me cry at times, but it’s a good way, a good thing, I swear). Nancy and Crissy stayed at Rebecca’s probably much longer than they wanted to and listened to anger I didn’t even know was there. I should now better by now than to be surprised by the strength, kindness, and generosity of this community.
And all your comments.
I really can’t thank you guys enough for the comments. I’m one of those people who feels so overwhelmed by the small useless-feelingness of my words when confronted by the overpowering hugeness of someone’s pain that, before, I’ve started to comment on someone’s blog and then just deleted it because it seemed so…so…inadaquate. But now I know, all those words count, all those words help. With every comment that has been left I’ve paused and felt the sympathy in the words and thought about the commenter, and that has really helped pull me outside of this pain a little more, out of this me who is struggling with everything never seeing or talking to my mother again means. The support of everyone has been awesome and I really, really, really appreciate it.

If I could, I would hug you in person.
Let me know if you ever want to get out of San Diego for an afternoon. I’m just 90 minutes away, straight up the 5.
We can knit and you can see just how retarded my beloved dogs really are

We all love you. Move to Sac soon! In fact, I think you should buy the house across the street from me.

My heart is aching for you & I still don’t have the right words to say again other than my thoughts are with you.

Oh man I have been away from blogger land for too long. Just caught up on your last few posts. I am sooo sorry. I hope things have gotten a little better in the last few days. I can’t imagine the pain.
Thinking of you!

I think that exact thing when I write comments sometimes (not enough…) so I am glad that it helps, even a little bit.

Oh Wendy, I am so sorry. It has been too long since I’ve visited, and such sad news! What a beautiful eulogy you wrote. Big big hugs to you. There are no right words I can think of to say, only good thoughts and prayers to send to you.

huggy-luvvies! and don’t move to Sac - they have giant maggots there the size of Corollas! Seriously! Let me know if you need anything, okay? Promise?
