I think prayers are the best medicine right now ya'll... thanks so much and put in some prayers for Tracy too.

I've been going to Blackshear every weekend to see Tracey and will continue to do so. We are trying to get her songs recorded before she gets to sick to sing play guitar.

Prayers being said for you and Tracy. Please don't keep those feelings bottled up. Sounds like you're getting them out with your music and that's good. Keep those lines of communication open with your family and friends. These are two of the most stressful things that can happen and it's important to talk out your feelings. Let others help you thru this. Many big ((HUGS)). We're here for ya.

You guys are the greatest! I truly love and appreciate each and every one of you! Thanks for being my friends!
My brother Tommy lives with me now and he is also being very supportive and taking care of Rattboy when i go away on the weekends. He even works with me here at the jobsite and we ride to work together every day. I don't know how I got along without him

Mary - I'm so sorry to hear the sad news, on both accounts.
Very sorry to hear your best friend is dying. I wish I had the magic words here but I would suggest you be there for her, she's going to really need you.
As for your divorce, been there, done that. Was it easy - oh no. Took me at least a year before I felt even remotely normal. I would suggest you give yourself time, take it day by day, try to eat nourishing food, don't forget your vitamins, get some exercise and get decent rest. The body can handle a lot if it's fed well and rested. But did I do what I just suggested? Not at first, I skipped so many meals, not in a row but I lost weight and felt awful. After a few months I began to get my appetite back but my heart was still broken. Again, it took about a year to heal but there's a scar. There will always be a scar. Just don't be too hard on yourself, lean on your friends and family and tell yourself you'll survive (even if you don't believe it). Forcing positive thoughts when all else looks hopeful, is a mind trick I learned. It's not like you're being unrealistic but rather turning a negative into a positive.
Hugs and prayers. PM me anytime, also.
Mary

I'm sorry to hear this, HG. There's really nothing to say that will help, but I will pray for you and your best friend. And a great big hug for you!!
If you need a shoulder to lean on, or some typing fingers, I'm always here.
