IN CASE I HURT YOU

I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND, MS DIANNE. I GOT TO A POINT WHERE THAT "ONE MORE THING" JUST BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN & I COULDN'T DO EVERYTHING. THINGS ARE GETTING A BIT BACK TO NORMAL AS MOMMA IS FEELING BETTER ... & DADDY & I GOT A LOT OF THE THINGS DONE THAT THEY NEEDED DOING ... SOOOO, I CAN BREATHE AGAIN. I DO APPRECIATE BEING HELD IN YOUR PRAYERS ... WE BOTH KNOW HOW MUCH WE ARE SUPPORTED BY THE PRAYERS OF OTHERS, DON'T WE?!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR UPLIFTING & WISE WORDS. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Hey Dawn, First of all, I love you!! and secondly, who said you were her saviour anyway? She needs Jesus, and needs to learn to lean on Him, not people. People will always dissapoint you no matter what, and you are not there to save everyone, its not your job. Its ashame she had to get all bent out of shape and be so self centered, but if that is how she is, then forget her and pray for her and move on. Just like Paul did in the Bible. Didn't Jesus say if they won't accept you to shake the dust off and go on. We know what kind of a person you are, and there is no excuse for this person to hold you to a standard only God should fill. Okay, I am preaching now!! Love you and Rise up you AWESOME Woman of God, you are loved, and appreciated and I have been praying for you!!! Take care, and I will pray for her and you need to release her...okay? Hugssss and kisssessss Byeee, Deb

WE GOTTA GET YOU IN A PULPIT, MS DEB! WAS JOKING BUT WITH YOUR ENERGY, YOU WOULD BE A GREAT YOUTH MINISTER ... YES, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. SOMETIMES WE ALL LEAN TOO HARD ON OTHERS, DON'T WE? IT GETS PRETTY EASY TO DO UNDER THESE CIR****TANCES BECAUSE THIS WLS PROCESS IS SO STRESSFUL & CONFUSING. YOU PRAY & WE'LL PRAY, & WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WILL HAPPEN! THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU ... YOU ARE A JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU, SWEETHEART DAWN & NICK

I love you and I'm so sorry you're in so much pain. I hope that your friend and you will work things out over time. This must be hard for her too. E-mails lack the human part of us and can be taken the wrong way. I know how important your friendships and commitments are to you and we all know how deeply painful it is to lose a friend. You're going through so much stress right now with your family and your own health. All you can do is the best you can do and I know that you give everything 200%. Please don't beat yourself up over this any more. If you failed her in her eyes, you have apologized, and that is all you can do. We all have to set priorities in our lives and oftimes cir****tances and our health situations don't allow us to to do all of the things we need and want to do. Some things fall by the wayside unintentionally or with great regret, but it has to happen. Our friends are there to stand with us and support us through these times. Dawn, you're a true friend to everyone you extend yourself to, and I've never seen you turn away from anyone. I treasure your friendship and am thankful to have you in my life. Be gentle with yourself and don't doubt the unselfish positive support that you give to others. You are truly an angel! Love, B

I DO THANK YOU FOR YOU UNDERSTANDING WORDS, MS BARBARA. YOU ARE SO RIGHT ... I THINK THE IMPERSONAL SIDE OF E-MAILS DID ACUTALLY GET IN OUR WAY AS WHAT ONE WAS MEANING, WAS "HEARD" IN A DIFFERENT TONE BY THE OTHER & VISA VERSA. I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM THIS ONLINE INCIDENT. SHOULD I ENCOUNTER ANOTHER UNPLEASANT SITUATION, I WON'T "EXPLAIN" MYSELF ... I'LL JUST APOLOGIZE & TRY TO DO BETTER. EXPLANATIONS ONLINE TEND TO CAUSE EVEN MORE ISSUES TO ARGUE OVER SINCE EMOTIONS ARE TENSE ALREADY. A SINCERE "I'M SORRY & I WILL TRY TO DO BETTER" IS REALLY THE ANSWER TO A NEW BEGINNING. I'M STILL COMMITTED TO ALL MY WLS FRIENDSHIPS ... EVEN THIS ONE ... I HOPE IT WILL HEAL & THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS WILL FADE AWAY. I APPRECIATE YOUR SENTIMENTS, MS BARBARA ... I TRULY VALUE YOUR FRIENDSHIP AS WELL. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

Hello ... I am sorry for your times of struggle...I hope your mom gets better soon and you can take care of yourself... I feel like you should not have to apologize for taking care of your family... Anyone should understand that your family comes first especially someone who calls themselfs your friend and if not they don't deserve to be a friend... To me a friend is someone who is their for you through thick and thin... I think you should just say a prayer for her and move on and let the Lord handle it... I hope you get your engery back soon and you take care of yourself... Brenda...

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN FOR ME & GOOD WISHES FOR MY MOMMA, MS BRENDA ... SHE'S FINALLY ON THE MEND, THANK GOD! I TALKED TO HER TODAY & SHE & DADDY WERE GOING TO CHURCH TONIGHT, WHICH IS THE 2nd TIME THIS WEEK SHE'S GONE OUT, SO WE ARE ALL BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF. WE'LL GO OVER TO THEIR PLACE SUNDAY. DADDY & NICK WATCH NASCAR TOGETHER, & I COOK & MAKE UP MEALS FOR THEM TO HAVE DURING THE WEEK. I FOUND THESE PLATES AT WAL*MART THAT ARE SEPARATED INTO 3 PARTS WITH SECURE LIDS ... I MAKE UP A HOME-MADE "TV" DINNER & THEY JUST TAKE THEM OUT & POP THEM IN THE MICROWAVE. YES MA'AM, I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN PRAYER. NOW, DURING THE LENTEN SEASON ... PRAYER IS EVEN MORE AT THE FOREFRONT IN OUR LIVES, SO I WILL ACT UPON YOUR WISE SUGGESTION. DR BYRNE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THAT I QUIT USING MY CPAP MACHINE TOO SOON. SO, I'VE BEEN USING IT AGAIN THE LAST 3 NIGHTS & I HAVE TO SAY, I'VE FELT AN INCREASE IN MY ENERGY DURING THE DAY. I THOUGHT WITH THE 65 #s I'VE LOST, THAT I DIDN'T NEED IT, BUT IT SEEMS I DO. SO, HERE'S TO A BIT MORE ENERGY! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Hey There Dawn! As with all the others and you know this, Ted and I love you! I don't know how I would have made it through this journey without you going through it with me. I know that you have been going through a tough time and a lot of stress, and you know that we are all here for you. Hugs to you and Nick (my lowcountry mom & dad). Britt PS. Ted has taken all you guys said Thursday night to heart and he is going to act on it when he gets home.
