It's not all about Dan

Last night when I was chatting with Leah about the challenges of managing her two four year olds, I was reminded that I am not the only person deeply impacted by Nancy's homegoing. Talking to me about raising a blended family was not the same for Leah as talking to Mom. As KJ sets up her study and contemplates producing a line of handbags for Elcye's she misses getting Nancy's creative output. And I think it is bittersweet for Josh and Anne to be nurturing baby Micah.

In many ways Nancy's gentle presence was the hub of our family. Pray for us "spokes" to keep rolling forward!

Hi Dan,
Still reading and still praying. Such a roller coaster whose ride doesn't end this side of heaven, in so many ways.
To Leah, KJ and Josh; along your families and friends, this is really crazy makin' stuff. We weren't built to live with this kind of void, pain or brokenness. We are for you and we love you.

What a great note from Wendy - "still reading, still praying." And she is so right - we were not made to live with this kind of void, pain, and brokeness. Praying for supernatural peace and comfort from our Father, who will one day make all things right in Glory.
