Oh Steph,

How blessed your family & friends are to have someone of your strength, grace, devotion and love such as yourelf.

Thank you for always sharing those pieces of your journey that might otherwise go unsaid.........for its all the moments along the path ~ both the triumphs and the tragedy ~ that bring together this amazing story of how 4 became 5 and onward.

I continue to pray for your Dad and for you all ~ what a terribly difficult & emotional time for your family. How you are managing to juggle all that you do is nothing short of a miracle.

I'm here if you ever need a shoulder!!

Wow, so much going on in your life – I am amazed at your strength and resilience. You are an amazing daughter, mother and wife. I am also so awed by the way you can write and articulate yourself. I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and praying for you and your family.

I feel for you, having been there myself last year. You totally have to let it out, it seems to me that you are coping pretty well all things considered and seem to have it pretty balanced out. Having an ill parent really helps to put everything in your life in perspective. I used to drive 1.5 hours each way to see my dad twice a week, with one of those being a day durng the week that I would work there, my daughter spent every sunday for 7 months at the hospital with me and I don't regret a second of any of it. You are fortunate to be living close to your parents, you are right in saying this is where you need to be in your life and how your life need to be right now. My thoughts are with you and your family, it's a very tough time.

This blog is now about your family of 5, and Major is one part of that family. You are another, MAJOR, part. This blog is as much about you as it is about your children and your family. If it helps you to use this forum to sort out your thoughts, vent, share, that's what you should do. I can't wait to meet you someday Stephanie Karp!

I love you too Steph. Your post has me crying hard sobs for you and your wonderful dad, who I feel so honored to know and adore! I wish I could write my thoughts down like you do, you are an amazing and gifted writer. The deep love you have for your dad and your whole family is heart warming and so inspiring!

Thank you so much for yet again a beautiful post that has left me feeling so much joy in my heart to call you... friend.
Thinking of you today and ALWAYS!

I love you Steph. I'm so glad you put your heart out there. No words of wisdom or even words of adequate comfort do I have. Simply an acknowledgment of all your pain and joys, frustrations and sorrows, peace and fears is all I have to give. That and a big cyber hug for what it's worth (probably not much). 🙂 Keep drawing from that deep well of strength that you have (even when it doesn't feel like you have it), and just know that through it all, there are people out there who care for you and love you and think about you.
