I was just asking around about you a month or so ago. We've missed you!
It saddens me to read that you've been through so much turmoil in the past months. I hope things only continue to get better from here on out.
Take care,
Erika

Thank you, Erika
My apologies for the long delay in responding to your kind review. Unfortunately, our family lost two more members this month, which has consumed me emotionally and time-wise. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and words concerning my writing and my health. The cyclone of life is not a good place at the moment. Though writing is my love and my escape, reality has a strong hold on me currently and my thoughts aren't for paper. Take care and thank you so much for caring. Hugs to all - Carol

So glad you're back on FS. So sorry the drama has continued in your family, but I'm glad you're able to 'begin again' to smile and write. Continued prayers. Blessings. Carol

Wish I could say I was, Carol. Cement bricks around my legs, I think. I appreciate your prayers.

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You have had a difficult several months. Having raised four grandchildren, I went through some of what you suffered. It does get better in some cases. I hope that is true for you also. This kind of craziness is hard on your health. I'll hold you in my prayers.

Comment from Ric Myworld
I'm so glad to finally see your name pop back up in my inbox. I discussed with others about contacting you when you weren't posting. Having an idea of all things going on in your family, I told them that I wasn't going to contact you and give you some time to work it all out. One of the people I discussed you with told me they messaged you and you responded. Then a few weeks later they were contemplating messaging you again and asking me what I thought. Again, I said that I was more comfortable waiting under the circumstances, afraid I might say something I shouldn't. Anyway, I'm glad for those who reached out to you, and I'm sure there were many others like me who didn't want to add fuel to the fire. I was glad to know that someone else messaged and you were as good as could be expected under the circumstances. Glad to have you back! Ric

What a wonderful piece of writing. I didn't enjoy all the trauma, but I did enjoy the reading and your positiveness. You did a great job. Have a wonderful afternoon. Shirley

I am sooo glad to see you back, posting on FanStory, and am equally sorry you've had to endure troubles and darkness. I am glad to read "light is shining again." May it continue to shine forever more. Welcome back, my dear friend.

Lorraine, someone keeps switching off the light switch or it's got a real bad short in the line. Thank you!

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Nicely written. Good work.
and Jag to get the girls back finally, - what is Jag?
DCFS - Dept of something, but never learned what
Though I can never forgive him - dangerous position (Mt. 6:15)
Best wishes.

Jag is the facility of military lawyers and DCFS stands for Department of Children and Family Services.

Comment from Sally Law
We love you too, Carol! This reads like something from a horror story. Bless Godyou have made it and are of sound mind. You still have your sense of humor, which is a wonderful sign, and resolve.
"We are struck down, yet never destroyed" comes to mind!
Sending you my best today as always and another welcome back to FanStory!

Comment from Wendy G
I am so glad to see you back again, and to hear that despite everything, you are okay and are writing again. Such turmoil and distress, darkness indeed. So it was your brother who died, not Matthew? At first I thought that there must have been a falling out with Matthew, and I was thinking that would be the last straw. I am so sorry for all the difficult relationships you are trying to navigate. I will definitely keep praying for you, and for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual restoration. Blessings.

Matthew's film was about life's trials and reaching solutions with God. One scene really rocked me and I reached out to my brother after a long time and we talked. I am thankful for that nudge in the nick of time before he died.
