You pick yourself up one more time, dust yourself off, and throw another punch. It may not be the strongest punch in the world but you throw it with all you got. Believe me when I tell you that if I can do it, *anybody* can do it. And you can do it because you've got more grit than I do. I understand all too well what you're saying regarding family and country, but somehow we'll get through this and that includes you. Just know that you're not alone. You've got a whole lot of people trudging along right beside you that care for you. As for the ankle biters, ignore 'em. Just let it roll off you like water off a ducks back. Their snark says way more about them than it does about you and your readers know that. And, as I said earlier, if you need to step away from this then step away. Come back when you're ready or don't come back at all. You're not obligated to do this but you are pretty good at it. It's folks like you and Ken that help me get through *my* day.D S Craftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-6974600652387442072016-10-21T08:53:27.584-07:002016-10-21T08:53:27.584-07:00Keep the Faith !Keep the Faith !Notenkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928123363373605364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-83435545588393952242016-10-21T08:53:17.888-07:002016-10-21T08:53:17.888-07:00Keep the Faith !Keep the Faith !Notenkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14928123363373605364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-315311604987480902016-10-21T08:33:57.091-07:002016-10-21T08:33:57.091-07:00Hey, Friend- the next time you are in your Dr'...Hey, Friend- the next time you are in your Dr's office for a checkup have him/her check your Vitamin D level.

Reading you and Wirecutter is the morning ritual and I love it.<br />I have a friend who has a daughter, Miss Stacey, that is developmentally challenged, non verbal and physically able though delicate. She is 20 and needs constant supervision, instruction. Thankfully, the family is financially able to keep her in school. Every day is a struggle but they are determined to give her a normal life. I remain awed by their dedication and joy in making her world positive and enriched. Their love and dedication is infectious and flows from them to all their friends and family. I feel incredibly blessed to be their friend.<br />I also feel blessed to be able to read your blog and wonder how in the world you have managed to keep your two young ladies in school, learning and developing. You and my friends were chosen to carry what others may feel a burden. You actually demonstrate the greatest part of being a parent, it's complicated, but The Man Upstairs has chosen well.<br />Never give up, my friend, your struggles make you stronger. Take a break, close comments or whatever. Do what makes you happy.Geretha 'Jeep' Zeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898418260536913270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-3629179966043983352016-10-21T03:53:20.759-07:002016-10-21T03:53:20.759-07:00I also hope that you keep on blogging - its a favo...I also hope that you keep on blogging - its a favorite morning read of mine. If you have to close comments, thats fine (although a lot of good material will be missed).<br /><br />Family issues - yeah, I hear that. My Dad passed away in '97 and Mom is having health issues that may or may not be curable. She is game though, and if it comes to facing the end, is ready for that too.<br /><br />My son, diagnosed as autistic PDD is in 2nd year of high school senior, is taking 1/2 day class, 1/2 day job vocations by various companies. My wife and I too are having trouble finding what he will do to stay occupied after graduation the end of next year. I don't think he has the concentration for attending college on his own - he will need a shadow. Just getting into the SS system and the rules of what his stipend will cover / not cover. Way too much information for me, but I'm Dad and have to cowboy up.<br /><br />Take care of yourself and your family and hopefully, things will find their level.

You have a gift for writing and I'm fairly certain that you'll eventually get the itch should you decide to walk away.<br />And to the heartless spelling Nazi: go fuck yourself! I'm as pedantic as anyone about spelling and grammar, but calling someone out on their own blog for someone else's error is just lame.

It's like watching a high-speed wreck in agonizingly slow motion knowing you can't stop it, can't change it, you'll just have to wade through the smoldering wreckage, picking up whatever is left that can be used to rebuild. And right know, I don't know if I have it in me to rebuild. I'm so tired.<br /><br />You said EXACTLY what is on my mind.<br /><br />You are not alone.
