dear friends,
a week has passed and i continue to find myself weaving and stumbling through different places in my heart and mind. i have had some good moments, glimpses of peace, chaos, brokenness, void, anger, questions, gratitude, fear. i know many of you ask "how are you?" i trust your sincerity and yet i need to find a whole new language to answer that question. also i know many of you have asked if there are ways you can be of support and help. it is difficult for me to respond to a general desire to help at this time....whether i can't formulate what my needs are or it's just simply too difficult to ask. my friends curt & kristin kuiper will be organizing and taking care of information for any tasks/needs/errands/assistance i may need during this season. you can contact curt and kristin at curtandkristin@hotmail.com and they can place you on an e-mailing/calling list when needs do arrive.
also it helps if you give me specific offers of help or invitiations...dinners, walks, whatever. it is easier for me to accept a specific invitation than to take the initiative at this time to make a phone call, pick a date, name a need.

I love you, my friend. How I wish I could sit beside you on a cozy couch with a cup of hot chai and just shower you with hugs and love. Praying for you constantly....
kelly,
how very difficult and painful these days must be. thank-you for giving us some peices of this puzzle to help us know how to meet you...it took such courage.
our words fall so short of our hearts' expression. you said it well...there really needs to be an entire new vocabulary.

hi sweet girl.... i echo deanna's thoughts completely. oh, how i would love to be close enough to offer a shoulder to cry on, hands to fold your laundry or clean your kitchen.... know that i love you and pray for you as often as the Lord brings your name to mind.
i pray that His arms around you will be the warm blanket of love that so many of us want to give you right now...
kelly, i watched mike's memorial. it was so powerful. helped me know who he is. . . what a man you had! And i loved how everyone confirmed his deep love for you. i think of you so often and wonder how you're doing it. i cannot imagine. i'm just so sorry you have to learn how to live without half of you. praying for you, friend.
