Do you ever feel at a loss for the right words when someone you know is going through a tough time? I sometimes do -- nothing seems to adequately express the empathy or sympathy I feel.
I compiled this far-from-inclusive list of just some of the most beautiful words written to Steve and I the past week. This doesn't even include the supportive spoken words from others. We somehow have the world's most poetic, compassionate and giving friends and family members. These words are incredible gifts.
We stand ready to help with meals, errands or anything else. Just say the word. Your family really, really are in our prayers and our thoughts.
I’m here if you need anything.
I hope you can feel God’s loving arms around you.
We're pulling for you all and wish you strength during this tough time.
I know God is capable of things we can never begin to wrap our minds around.
Please let me know when I can do anything else. If you ever need to get away you know where I am.
I know you're not one to ask, but I don't want to bombard you with calls, so PLEASE let us know what we can do.
We are all connected in this world for a reason ... right now support, love and hope are surrounding you and your family.
I just want to give you a big hug.
We serve a God of healing – I hope you can both cling to that during this time. You’re both strong individuals, and your faith will bring you through this.
I'm sending positive vibes your way.
Know that you have friends that are here for you at a moment's notice.
I want you to consider me "on-call" for you starting right this minute.
I just want you to know that you guys are thought of all the time and we are praying each day for God's help and healing.
My prayers are going full throttle for all of you.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers, surrounding you all in healing light.
Stay positive, stay strong!
Your love for and devotion to one another has always been so apparent. That alone will get your through many dark periods in life.
We love you guys.
