Lorna, Ivy, Teresa, Suzanne, Mary, Rick, Steve, Lyle, Amy, Cynthia, Lee Ann, Jim: thank you. Lorna, you remind me there is prayer in story. Ivy, your mojo is the best I could ask for. T, when I said you couldn't imagine my need, you didn't have to and I took your advice, made tea, stayed calm, called Glenda. Suzanne, you: how did I ever do without your thoughts, prayers, and candles? Mary, thank you for keeping us with you. Rick, I think of you, am with you as well as you are with me. Steve, thank you for Shawn, for knowing what I mean, for 20 years. Lyle, I'm counting on your wishes. Amy, I'm grateful for your words, here and on your beautiful blog. Cynthia, you've seen everything: she's an amazing woman, stronger than I am, resilient, but better for your prayers. Lee Ann, your heart is the heart of hearts, thank you. Jim, your call meant more than I can say...

And to Mark who sends a healing poem written for his friend in a scary time, what a gift first thing this morning and all of today: re-reading is a kind of prayer too. And to Stuart and Dara for reading and understanding, thank you.
