How could I, when I'm so off the Fox family grid. I can hardly believe it, makes no sense at all, and yet there's no doubt in my mind, or heat, what lies beyond this awful discomfort; survival, life, more love, more writing, more jean, lauren and haley, more grandchildren, more scones and more evidence of everything you've always Known to be true. I will be calling you. <br />xoxoxoxoxoxox meredithmeredith scott lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216011953770444735.post-14258889042318548492010-12-30T23:06:21.062-05:002010-12-30T23:06:21.062-05:00So glad to hear your voice again!

They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful.

I suspect I have had a somewhat similar experience as you, regarding sickness and not thinking much about it over my entire life. Reading you makes me grateful for that, but also makes me hope I'll go quickly and immediately into my good night....TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216011953770444735.post-40745884014991571022010-12-29T20:56:02.559-05:002010-12-29T20:56:02.559-05:00I love you and your family.

I know much of who I am today is because of that friendship and the experiences I had in your home. Beautiful and touching writing ... I know this has been a rough time for you guys and my thoughts have been with you. Hugs to you, Haley, Jean and Lauren!

You are one of the kindest people I know in the world. I love you brother! Even though I don't see you every day you are in my thoughts every day. <br /> I look forward to seeing you and Jean when next in NYC.<br /><br />One of the things I say to myself every morning and all day long no matter any challenge of my life will come. - "Today is The Best Day of My Life!" Toward the end of the day when things get even more challenging I say Today still is "the best day of my life", and I will fight on.<br /><br />I share this with you with all my love.
