Letter 2

     I am thinking about you, about all of you right now. Of course my immediate family is on my mind constantly but I am also wondering about you. Are you well? Do you need anything? Is there something I could do to help you right now? I have been very self-involved since the fall when we sold our property. Packing, purging and moving has occupied a large portion of my time. And I hate to tell you this but it is spring now and we are still not unpacked. There is so much of everything that we need to pass on, sell or donate in order to fit comfortably in this house. And with my husband's desire to renovate certain parts of this house immediately, we are still in chaos.
     But enough about me--- are you okay? Do you have folks in your life that can help you out? How are your children doing with all the myriad of changes that are occurring, usually on a daily basis? My girls are handling it in their own way. I think a kid with special needs can require more support with change and the resulting grief than typical kids, but maybe not. Trips are cancelled, plans are changed, jobs are lost, opportunities missed, losses experienced and there is the worry. Are we well, can we weather this storm, will we lose loved ones? So many questions....
     Anyway, I thought of you today and wondered how you are. I may not get a chance to tell you but you matter to so many people. You matter to me! And so I thought of you today....
     Take care,
