      From mylees Wednesday

      Tlhink of it like he moved to Florida and you are so broke you can't go see him right now but someday you will have the money and go. Know sounds nuts but it does work. A friend told me to do this about Bill and it does work. Just pray and trust, I know that is hard but devote an hour a day (maybe 10-15 min's at a time) to prayer and studying the bible. It will help. You have to get well for your husband and life. Your father would not want you locked up in the house and missing out on the life he gave you.

    • I’m With You

      From mylees Wednesday

      Honey, I know it is hard but you need to let your father go. Remember he is in heaven, no more pain, worries or problems at all ever. Would you wish him back. I know you don't want to hear it and I don't either about Bill but it is true. You can let this destroy you or you can accept it and move on (I don't mean to not cry or miss him) but I know in my heart your father would not want you on med's and acting this way.
      Get off the med's, grab your husband and hang on, give him a great big kiss, LOVE him.
      God has a plan and we just don't understand it, all we can do is put our faith in him, trust him, and let go of our loved ones who have moved on to heaven. All of this is said in love and praying you will read and understand.
