Default Rough year!!

Hello everyone, I haven't been on the boards in over a month! It's been a terrible year, but hopefully things are going to be better. The end of February my friend and co-worker lost her 16 year old daughter in a car wreck. It has been extremely emotional at work ever since that day! Then, the end of March we learned my sister-in-law's cancer had gone to far and they stopped all treatments. We lost her on April 25. She was such a beautiful soul and will be sadly missed. Then on May 15th we had the sudden death of my husband's dear old friend. He grew up with the family and although he didn't "hang out" with them that much anymore, the loss was still profound!

I hope this will be the end of the pain and sadness for 2008! I am trying to distract myself by getting back into my sawing. So this is my first step and first stop, here at the message boards. Thanks for taking the time to "listen"!

Bless you Cathy. In the past couple years our family has been hit with one tragedy after the next as well.Its so hard to deal with, and at times it is overwhelming, but we always have to remember its all part of "his" plan, and be here for each other through the tough times. waddle through some of the latest work thats been posted on here, then go play in the dust and show us your creations! In the meantime,we will all be thinking of you and your family. we cant walk on water, but together, we can carry one another across.

Glad to see you back Cathy! The best therapy is to get going again as you are doing. The last 12 months have been rough at our house too, but it sounds like things are on the upswing for both of us. I'm looking forward to seeing your next project.
Take care,
Chris

G'day Cathy,
Keep on keeping on.
My thoughts are with you and as it seems like you've hit the bottom the only way left is up.
