No matter what
Thursday December 18, 2003 – 10:31 amDaddy’s hanging in there, thanks for your nice words and prayers. I only wish that was all that was going on… John and I are just fine but there’s heavy drama swirling all around us, it’s pretty incredible. Why did all this have to come down now, right when we had all our ducks in a row to have a nice peaceful happy holidays? It’s completely unfair, nobody did anything to deserve this crap. I blame the demons!! But we are a race of warriors, goddammit!!! I overheard one of us say to another that they felt a bit overwhelmed. The reply: "No. We’re going to overwhelm IT." Right on, man… we’re all going to get through this, whatever happens, good or bad, we’ll get through this together and fighting for each other. :-|
If I sound disjointed as hell, it’s because I really really need some sleep. Who doesn’t? I just can’t though. Didn’t sleep last night, though I did get about 4 hours in the afternoon. Telephones are ringing, messages are being left on machines, plans are made and then changed. Needing so many answers but there’s only so much we can know. It sucks. But we have to deal with it, so we’re dealing with it. Ugh…

Thanks so much. Things do seem better today than they did yesterday, with Daddy and everyone else. Crossing my fingers for a more or less happy holidays after all…

Best wishes to your & your family. I’ve been this kind of holiday hell myself so I can completely empathize. Hope you dad’s doing better!

The demons must die! All who mess with the Frost will meet with a slow and painful end, and Edith and her family and friends will prevail, so sayeth the Brazen one! I hope you can still manage the best of Christmases in spite of all this. Ray is always on yer side, sister!

I sure hope you’re finding a sane way to cope with all your crises. The holidaze are hard enough without everything else that’s going on for your family. Music helps for me. Today I found solace in that wonderful mix CD you made (and I was determined enough to bid on at the RfK silent auction in October). Gillian Welch’s "Only One & Only" eased the pain. But those Kirby Sisters really just got to me with "(I’ve Got the) Craziest Feelin’ " Those lyrics ["Before I was born/I didn't have cares/and I won't have cares when I'm gone"] seemed made for my ears for this sad week in my life. And helped ease this huge transition for me. I’d never heard of them before, so thank you again, for putting that song on that CD! Whe you find just the right music it sure can be the ultimate emotional elixir for what ails ya. Another powerfully healing piece of music is your very own "Merry Go Round" especially that beginning. It’s gotten me through times of little hope better than anything.
