It is so nice to not be alone in this.

Denise - I have approached my friend (via e-mail) because we have not had a spare day to try and visit people and told her from the heart that I needed her, etc. and that I felt like she was backing away, etc. and I have not heard from her. I do know from a mutual friend that she got the message though.

David your story is wonderful. Some of my sister-in-law's friends have been sending me notes and scriptures and telling me they are praying for us in their Bible study classes. It is amazing the strength of prayer and conviction and compassion that strangers can have for us.
