jk's coming home tomorrow. My dad is picking me up. He needs to help and I need the help.
jk has had lots of visitors. Yesterday Rika, Rick and Barb, my mom and dad, Bob, Diane, Lou, MaryKay and Brian visited. Today Tim, Kyler, Kari, Kinsey, Mick, Suzanne, Howe and Pam visited.
I called Howard to tell him about jk. We talked for a while and he called jk. Charlie sent me e-mail. He said that we could visit and if jk needs to go to the Mayo, Martha would help us. He called jk.
Ed and Kirk sent me e-mail.
Lots of love from family and friends. We are truly blessed.
This beast makes jk and I examine our lives. The things that are important are our relationships. All the other things are stuff. We'll get through this with a lot of help from family and friends.
I've learned that people have to deal with this in their own way. There is no right or wrong way to deal with this. I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with this but I just know that I will. I don't have a choice about jk having MS but I have choices on how I'm going to fight this and how I'm going to deal with this.
People are calling each other. People are uniting. That's a positive. People are giving us much support. We'll need it.
Family and Friends:
Thanks for all the happy thoughts and all that love. Thanks for all the prayers.
This morning I saw the most beautiful sunrise. I told jk the world is still a beautiful place, sunrises still take my breathe away, and isn't it great to be alive.
Bless us one and all.

I loved those thoughts of yours and agree whole-heartedly. Family and friends will get you through.
It was so touching what you said.
Thanks for sharing.
The sunrise story was especially nice. It will keep me going when I'm worried.
Take care,
Diane
