Yesterday, we received the bad news that one of my husband's sisters was seriously injured in a fall. I'm not going to go into the particulars, but she's in really bad shape...and at the moment, it's not looking too good. So with the limited funds in our bank account, we bought Jerry a last-minute airline ticket and he rushed out of state last evening to be with his family. (Thank goodness we live close to the airport because he didn't have much time to spare!)
The Girl and I are holding down the fort the best we can. She's obviously upset about her auntie, but she was devastated that Jerry had to leave so unexpectedly. She cried at the airport, cried on the way home, and bawled her eyes out last night when it sunk in that her daddy wasn't there for her good-night kiss. (Thank goodness for cell phones, or I'd be going even more crazy that I already am!) I'm thankful that I'm able to modify my work schedule so I can take over Jerry's role of dropping her off and picking her up from school, trying to keep everything as normal as possible for her. But it's still hard.
Anyway, for those of you who pray, please pray for my sister-in-law, my husband, and their family. I've been told that it'll be a miracle if she survives through the weekend, but miracles do happen, so I told him not to give up hope. And thanks for just letting me babble. My house is awfully quiet right now, so it's nice to "talk" even if it is only typing. But all my blog buddies have become an important part of my life in a way I think only you all truly understand. And I truly appreciate it.

I'm going to sit down and pray a rosary decade as soon as I get home Anna. I do believe in the power of prayer. This is so hard for you I know, because it comes out of nowhere and knocks you flat on your back. At this point all you can do is put it in God's hands.
Thinking of you and your family!
You and your family and sister-in-law are in my prayers. Anna.

Anna - YES!
Dear Lord, I just pray that You would extend your healing mercies to Anna's sister-in-law. You can work miracles and we know this to be true and so I ask for one for Anna and her family.
I pray that you would be with Anna's husband - give him the strength he needs to walk through this with his family. Be a comfort to him. I also pray that you would be with Anna and their daughter - give them comfort and peace -- enough to extend to their family from a distance.
Let Your peace be known and felt. And healing, Lord! We pray most earnestly for healing.
Amen.
(And I'll keep praying!)
Anna...so sorry this is a difficult time for all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I'll will be praying for everyone, especially your little girl. This is probably the first traumatic event in her life(her aunt's illness), and she probably misses her daddy a lot.
Oh Anna, I am so sorry to hear about this tragic accident. I will definitely be keeping ALL of you in my prayers. *hugs*
Thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers. I've passed on the hugs on to The Girl, who also is grateful. You guys are awesome and really helping us get through this awful time. ((HUGS))

I am so sorry Anna. You and your family will be in my prayers. Try to keep holding on to hope and your faith.
