I am completely verklempt at the outpouring of support from all of you. I knew there would be comments and concern and caring. I knew you would all respond to my news with kindness. But I had no idea how much better it would make me feel. I have this image of the world in my head with glowing beams of light coming from the places where you all live to the place where I am. And that place where I am? It’s glowing with the brightest light I’ve ever seen due to all of you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for every comment, every word of encouragement and understanding, every expression of concern and love. It truly means more to me than you could ever realize.
The wake is tonight from 5 until 8. The funeral is tomorrow morning at 10. My dad had everything planned, all I really had to do was okay it all, which made things quite simple and easy for the entire family. Maybe I’m being naive and underestimating my emotions at this point but I feel okay.
Nevertheless, keep sending those beams of light, would ya? I have a strong suspicion they are what’s carrying me along.
Beams and hugs to you! And licks from Chaos.
Sending my beams your way.
I send you beams and virtual chicken soup and cat snuggles. (Virtual cat snuggles come without hair. Much neater.)
Carole, my thoughts are with you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful insights.
Continuous beams & hugs are being sent your way. Take care of yourself. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.
Beams of love and good thoughts and prayers, Carole.

Oh hon. I know it’s late in the game, but know that we’re thinking of you.
I don’t see any brown in that picture. And you know that the light I’m sending your way is brown. Since I’m sending it, it must just be hidden by all the pretty colors. Makes sense to me. Hugs.
Just getting around the blogs and saw your sad news. I’ll definitely be keeping you in my thoughts.
I never ever know what to say when I hear about things like this. If I could, I’d give you a hug and make you some tea and cookies.
Oh Carole, I just read the sad news 🙁 Hang in there and big hugs and I’m sending thoughts of chocolate and dirty martinis and friends with yarn your way.
