Well, it has been a while, hasn’t it? I suppose I could fill this with excuses. I could tell you about how busy my life has been. But I will not share all that has been going on, because I suspect future blogs will have some of that going on. What I will share, however, is the hard thing that I finally finished after a 10-year process.
You see, when Molly fell ill 10 years ago, I never would have thought I could be one to share in the written word some of our darkest days. Yet, that is exactly what happened. As time went on, many, perhaps you dear reader, stood by us, waiting, praying, and watching this story unfold. It was hard, but not nearly as hard as the quiet moments we never shared.
Now, ten years later, I finally finished what I had set out to do. I wrote out Molly’s story… well, in part. Because to say this is all of Molly’s story, would be a lie. But the significance of these moments while she was ill shone upon the very character of our girl. And even more so, it was a spotlight on our God and what He could do.
So I am happy to announce that despite all of my kicking and screaming this year, even though I never really start what I finish, my book has been put to print. In the weeks ahead, I will be sure to share more information when ready. But until then, I want to say that the hard things are always worth doing. In fact, I am testament to that. I sit here, in tears, thankful to a God that pushed me to do the thing that He told me to do. And on those days, I sat for hours looking through pictures on Molly that I did not want to search through, I say, I am glad I did it.
Here’s to the next good thing.
P.S. I love... 
Our journeys started around the same time. Different of course but same ending. Saying you were a source of comfort to me sounds odd but our hearts were breaking at the same time. I reached out to you after my husband died to ask how you could go on and still believe in God. You explained he carried you thru. I at first rejected that thought but in the end, I had no other recourse but to reach out to God and He also got me thru my loss. When my husband was dying, his brother ( Curt Eggleston) told him to go be with Molly. And I’m sure he’s there with her and all of our loved ones that have gone before us. Too soon for sure but it will be our payoff in the end. Warm wishes to you and I look to your book ❤️Brenda

Oh Brenda. I remember our bonded hearts vividly during that time. It was a beautiful connection, God putting us in each other’s paths. And I didn’t know Curt said that. I will tell Peter, because I know he would love to hear this. Love you dearly.
