Yesterday's spending was $28 for gas and $2 for Halloween cards. Today I'll stick two tens in the cards and mail them to my Florida grandchildren. Unfortunately, they'll be late, but hopefully, still appreciated.
Last night I picked up C's sister at the train station. I will go over there today, but now that she has two people caring for her, in addition to DIL, I will probably make it short. I spent most of yesterday there.
I made spaghetti sauce last night, and I will take it over today, along with the pasta.
I am assuming I will pick up the boys today, though DIL has not said yet. She may be off work and planning to do it herself.
I appreciate all the support that is expressed here. You are all so kind. I hope everyone understands I am writing about this just because it is my world right now; I'm not looking for kudos. In fact, I feel I am doing only what anyone would do for a friend, and my DIL and C's sisters and friends are the real heroines in this story!
Another Day

I love the saying "It takes a village." Sometimes we are only the tinder gathereres that keep the fire going, but that it the fire that warms everyone and all kindnesses count toward the bigger picture of lifting people in need and loving them. I run a bereavement group for people who have lost children (it totally sucks and isn't a very fun thing to do, but is totally necessary). And it is interesting that even the small helpers are always appreciated (driving kids to places and having warm meals so things are "normal" for them is So So So important). Keep it up! x L
