Thank you LaDonna. I’m sorry I haven’t replied to the email you sent me. I’ve been having a lot of headaches with this bout of depression, so I’m limiting my time on the computer. I’m so glad Joey is okay. I will keep him in my prayers.

God has definitely given you so much talent. Reading your blog made me realize how negative I am with myself. I also was taught to take care of others, but didn’t know how to take care of me. I love your honesty about anxiety and depression. I too go through such battles. You speak from your heart and that is a testimony to what a gift God has given to people like myself. My son, Joey has gotten over his skin infection, thank God! He had us so scared because of him having CGD. I hope Tracey is doing better. Close your eyes after you have read this and put your arms around yourself…I am hugging you. Much love!

Love and prayers as you grapple so wisely and bravely with this difficult challenge.

It is so very hard to love ourselves, especially for women, I think. I marvel at my daughter Katie’s frequent grace when it’s her turn:

I love Mom and Dad and Nicholas, and Julian and Rachel, and Kathy (my aunt, her godmother), and myself, and everybody, and especially you. Amen.

Hang in there, esp. as you wait for your husband to return. It’s hard to be alone for so long, I’m sure.

Jen, we are so on the same wavelength. I was thinking about calling you. I’ll email you.
