Current mood:  pensive

Okay so as most of you know (if you read the bulletin post) we have signed Jason up for hospice care.  Now this doesn't mean that something horrible is going to happen to him in the near future it just means that we are trying to make him as comfy as possible.  I just wanted to thank all of those who have sent their thoughts and prayers and I definitely want to say how brave and strong my girls are and how much I love them.  They are taking all of this in whatever stride someone takes this in but have been understanding when I am tired and cranky or when I am sobbing and they just seem to know when to give me a hug that I want them to know it means the world to me that they know and understand how hard all of this is and I want them to know that I am here even if they think I have to much to deal with I will never have to much on my plate to not take that second to talk to them!!! 

This is probably the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with in my life and all the while Jason is telling me that everything is going to be okay.  I just wish it didn't feel like my heart was being ripped open at the thought of not having the one person who understands me the best possibly not be here at some point.  I just want all of you know that I really appreciate the prayers and that I want you to promise me that whatever grudge you've been holding or whatever something that has been keeping you from getting in touch with a loved one, family member or friend. LET IT GO it's not worth it especially when you think of it this way..what if they weren't there tomorrow and you never got that chance to say what you needed to say!!  Love to all and I will keep everyone posted on how things are going here.

xoxo,

Melodie

The guilt is a killer, isn't it? You're so used to being the one to do it all, you think you should always be doing it all, Melodie. I know how that is. Being in control, taking care of everybody else, this is one way you show love...by demonstrating that you can protect, by devotedly tending others. We tend to think the power of love should empower us beyond all human capacity, and when things become too much, we doubt ourselves or worry that we're just not loving enough somehow.


But you sacrifice yourself. And I know how abso-freaking-loutely exhausting it is for you, in addition to dealing with your own physical pain, and the exhaustion is in your body and your emotional self. You can't afford to push yourself to a breakdown...nor would Jason want that for you. The two of you are such a strong partnership.


I hope though, that you can start to think of this choice as freeing yourself up to give Jason more of the TLC of a wife now, instead of being a nurse: that first role is the most important to him, sweetheart. Especially now as time grows ever shorter.


Sending you much love, much calm acceptance, and the recovery of your vibrant self. BREATHE. You'll be happier, and the quality of life for you, Jason, and the girls will be better for it.

I love you Melodie and you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I admire your strength and dedication. I am so thankful for the time I spent with your family. Although, I wish it could have been longer. You know I am here any time you need me.
I love you!

Jen

I have tons of things to say and yet I can find no words to express them. You know me better than I know myself. I can say with all certainty that I will be here always for you guys... the shortest distance being a phone call away (night or day). I love you all.
