I. Am. Here.

Hello all of you near and far. All of you wondering and wandering about our little family Sandwith. Though my heart and mind yearns to tell you of the events of the last month, it would be impossible due to many things---my lack of techno savvy, and most importantly, a little thing I like to call *recovery*."

Though my attempt to hold time in any sort of solid form is shotty at best, I can tell you that during this last month I have taken that one last glance at those little people I might not see "for a while???" And i have deciphered the desperate but muffled tears and shudderings of a man who is carrying me through this turmoil with strong loving arms...oh how I love that man, those hands.

It is morning now...more later.

  3. Thank you for showing me the true meaning of "tears of joy". I love your post title and echo it with We. Are. Here for you. We love you like family, and you must know how good it's been to hear your voice and to, now, read your words. So, so thankful. May the love you feel from your islands of friends and family carry you through home's door and recovery's journey.

  6. Oh Marlis...my heart goes out to you as you continue to face this emotional and physical pain. I don't understand all that you are going through physically, but I know the heartache of being separated from your little ones. I am well aware of how excruciating it is to watch your spouse suffer too so I will be praying for strength for Roger, as well as you and your beautiful children. I am so sorry you are having to endure all of this.

    Love and Hugs to both of you...
    Jackie

  7. Dear Marlis,
    You are such a strong person to get through this and still have the grace to write such a beautiful post. I am so sorry to hear all that you have been through but so happy that you are on the road to recovery. You are so blessed to have the friends and family support that you have, as they are to have you in their lives.
    xoxo, Macaulay
