Forgive Me For I Am Alone...
"Daddy, where's mommy?"
"Daddy, when is mommy coming home?"
"Mommy come back??"
Tonight these were easy questions to answer. "Mommy is at Bible Study and she will come back before you wake up." But soon, oh too soon, the answer to these questions will not be so easy.
I sat with Sarah tonight going through one of her books learning about coins, their values, counting and all. Rebekah counted some with us and played in the playroom some. It was just the three of us after dinner tonight while mommy was out at Bible Study. "Daddy Night" with the girls is a delight for me - but I am scared to death for the time when every night will be daddy night ... every day will be daddy day ... every moment of every day will be nothing but daddy and the girls and our wonderful memories of mommy. I don't want that day to come. I am not ready for that day to come.
The house is now quiet, just the noise of the wood stove cracking and the noisy fan above spinning around and around and around. My brain too is spinning and my tears are falling as I miss mommy oh so much; and this time she is gone for only a couple of hours - this time.
Forgive me, for I am alone...

Scott, while you feel so alone, I hope you can take comfort that your tears are not the only ones falling for your family. Frances has touched so many lives. She is an amazing woman, wife, and mother.
She is loved by so many. I wish I had words to take away the pain.
With love,
Sara, Eric, Alex & Tessa-Lynn
I can only imagine how much this hurts and I wish things were different for you. Remember though, you are not truly alone - for one thing there are people round the world who care, even though they don't know you.
Praying for you. I know that you will never be alone. I know that you have family, friends, your beautiful daughters and most importantly God with you always. Still, what you are going through is unimaginable and I, like everyone else am hurting for you and feel your pain. I hope it helps to know that others are crying with you and praying for you. Take care of yourself.
I can't even imagine what goes through your mind daily, hourly, minute by minute. As others have said you aren't alone for you have two amazing daughters and the most wonderful God that will be looking over you and walking with you daily forever. And Frances will always be there guiding you through step by step. Prayers continue for your family during these times.

No words...just tears to keep yours company.
I too am alone, and it happened to me long before I ever dreamed it would. You and Frances are dear to me, as you both were to Mike as well. I share your tears, and I am praying for all of you. Please know that I am only a phone call away if you need me. Give Frances a hug from me.
Scott....I have no words....only tears and prayers....I wish there was something more that I could do or say.
...praying for you to feel God holding you close.
"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Neither let them be afraid."
Please, God. Give my friends your peace.
Thinking of you - crying with you.
Take care, Wyla and Family
