Thoughts from today
I cried alot today. Don has been very busy today on the computer, so I had to entertain myself without a computer or him. Mom and Dad were out running errands so they did not get by until 2 pm. I think I am just really sick of being sick. Even though I have so much to be happy for…It still gets hard.
On the bright side, the music people showed up again today and we had a nice little sing along. We sang Don’s favorite “Rainbow Connection” from the Kermit the frog Movie, “Amazing Grace”, “Hallelujah” from the Shrek movie, “Somewhere out there” from an American tale, and some other more folky type songs.
Don has been tremendous through all of this. He is so attentive and hardly leaves my side. I am so thankful and blessed to have him. I would like to thank the folks at Don’s work who have allowed him to stay here with me. I am so much stronger knowing he is with me, and don’t think I could do it with out him. I know that God would make a way, but I need my Don. We have become so much stronger as a couple through this. I love all you guys, and am so thankful for the prayers and comments. Keep it coming… Praise and thanks to God.
Hey, Mom just called and told me some of your good news. I cried joyful tears. I’m still praying for full recovery and daily comforting. To let you all know, I finally got my appointment in Ohio. Dec 17th. So, pray for me. Lots of new symptoms has appeared with my body the past few months, but we all will be fine as long as we keep positive in god…. I love you so much.
Having a partner to share the load helps. Sometimes our cross gets hard to carry at times, I’m so glad that god gives us people in our lives to lift the load from time to time. I hope I can repay, and carry the load of others crosses when needed. I hope to see you soon,
Love ya

Hey Karen –
The boys and I are holding you up daily in prayer. Dylan has been writing poetry this past week (seemingly out of the blue). He carries a small notebook with him and writes whenever something “inspires” him. I thought I would share three of his first poems:
THE DARKNESS (by Dylan Gallagher)
In the darkness you are alone.
Cold, hungry, and lost.
To find the way out of the darkest trench you need the Lord.
He is your Fire, your Food, your Map…
out of the darkness
out of the depression
the Lord will save you…
THE LIGHT (by Dylan Gallagher)
In the Light you feel so warm,
In the Light things start to grow;
leaves, trees, fruit, food..and even souls.
That first warming sensation is just a glimpse of heaven.
In the Light your spirit grows,
the happiness fills your heart,
the Light of God is truly amazing!
THE FRIEND (by Dylan Gallagher)
You may not know it,
but a Friend is by your side.
Your Guardian, your Protector.
In the darkest of times, or
in the happiest of times,
He will always be there as a Friend.
Peace & Healing & Grace,
Dennis, Jake, and Dylan
Karen,all I can say is that Dylan has expressed so well what we all are feeling. God Love Him. Auntie M
