[stylist] Finally! Back to writing

[Jackie Williams]

Cindy,
Certainly what you have been through is overwhelming. Just remember that
writing is a healing craft, and now, perhaps, you can find the time to
experience its healing power.

Subject: [stylist] Finally! Back to writing

I so excited to report that I have finally been able to write again. It was
2012 the last time I actually did any writing.  My father developed bladder
cancer and my uncle's health was quickly deteriorating and he finally passed
in November of that year. Thirty days later his ex-wife passed, three months
later my sister unexpectedly passed, and four weeks after that my father was
in the hospital on a ventilator. For the next six weeks, I spent ten hours a
day at the hospital and my mother stayed the rest of time. He made it
through that but as a Vietnam Vet he had problems with every organ and while
he got better, things were still in a decline. He passed in October, and I
have been more than over-whelmed with all of the paperwork we have had to do
and even though he had given us some information when he passed, it just did
not prepare us for the amount of information gathering we would have to do
for the government, military, and VA.

 

While I am still over-whelmed with things we still have to do because of his
passing and my mother's health, I was able to actually start a story the
other day. I am still slow with braille but I am so thankful I have a U2
mini that I carry with me everywhere and I am able to actually "read" what I
am writing.

 

Cindy
