Yes -- I'm really doing one. So far I have your post (so I know why and where it came from), the article, the "message" my therapist left me the first time he left (I wrote it down), his picture, but I'm not sure I can leave that in a book, I might have to photocopy it; my good luck pokeymon card, my favorite Cathy cartoon and a bunch of daisy pictures. And pictures of my kids and my cats. And a pair of red shoes (it is a sticker). I found this great card of a mommy penguin hugging the baby penguin, it is really beautiful. And I started collecting my favorite quotes. So -- What do you have that I've forgotten?
I think the best way to get through a vacation is just one day at a time. Plan next Saturday and Sunday. And then on Sunday, think about Monday. It is the only way I could do it. I'd like to help with you with this if you will let me. We could keep in touch just about everyday -- it would help me too, though I can't guarantee which part of me might be responding to your pain. Sometimes the youngest pieces respond and othertimes I can think it through and tell you a joke or two.
Would that be OK?
As far as working through the accident stuff, you have to be strong enough first. I touch on stuff and then run from it for weeks. And I've been doing this almost 2 1/2 years. So don't push too hard and don't get down on yourself for not being able to talk about it yet.
I have to go pick up kids and to therapy. I'll try to check back tonight. Let me know what you think about the "keep in touch" plan. Hopefully by the end of your therapist's vacation we can both have our books done.
Hugs from me,
Daisy
