I'm going to bed!

All this mess has me just exhausted. Now I almost dread going to see my Essie Kate tomorrow..... not knowing WHEN she will EVER be home. Next post Guatemala. Maybe I can find SOME kind of answers for us all while I'm there.

Enjoy your moments with her. She WILL be home. And in the meantime, just "be" in the present with her. I think you told me something of the same thing on my visit...and it was good advice.

Night Night Lou! Just think, tomorrow you'll be holding that pretty girl and the PGN troubles will seem so distant, even if only for a brief moment. Have a WONDERFUL trip. Kiss Essie Kate Happy Birthday for me!!!

Oh Lou,
I feel so bad for you.
I hope you were able to get a good night's sleep. Each day seems to bring with it the ability to fight another battle and to hang on a little longer.
Enjoy your visit and have fun.
Eventually it will all work out. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
