Thank you so very much for the continual words of
encouragement and concern that each of you have sent us. I know that you are
busy with your own lives, but you have stopped to let us know how you much you
care. We are both touched and grateful.
Chris’s dad is progressing and continues his treatment for
lung cancer. Her mom, as you may know, is now in a nursing home. I too am making
progress but have been recently diagnosed with MRSA for my long-standing
infection. Chris has shared with me how many others that she has chatted with
have issues of serious illnesses with their partners in life. We have prayed
for God’s intervention in easing the pain and helping cure the illness.
I personally want you to know that I am humbled by your gentleness.
Words are truly not adequate when one reaches out their hand and their heart to
express an act of kindness.
I also want to thank my family and especially Chris for
being the person she is. She is an incredible human being, just like those of you who are care giving to another. Chris has
supported me through my tears, helped me when I was fatigued, changed my
dressing on my wound... and the list goes on. I have never heard her complain or
say I am too tired. I have way too much time on my hands to think, and perhaps
that it where I should be, but the wonder of giving never falls short. You, the
caregiver, you the note writer, are amazing in that you are tireless. You look
for ways to help and you ask for nothing in return. Blessed be each of you.
Thank you again for thinking of us, caring about us, and letting us know that we
are okay.
Kindest wishes,
Phyllis
