Love Note

               

Dear Corey,

I hold you in my arms every moment.
I love you,

Yann

My friend Cecile took the photo up above. Since I hadn't seen it French Husband added a note and sent it to me today. Ah a breath of fresh air!

------------------------------------------------------

Note: Many of you have asked me how I can keep up my blog during this difficult moment. Blogging feels like one of the only things that hasn't changed in my life. Whereas everything around me is different.... My blog offers some normality to me at this point. It helps me chart the unknown turf and walk steadily along the path.

Thank you for listening to my tale.

Wonderful photo, the words are a bonus as even had he not written them you can SEE he adores you.

(He is truly scrumptious too I must say)

I stumbled upon your blog by accident tonight and your family all seem so warm and close, I have only my children now so I took comfort from your happy closeness. Thanks for the blog and yes keep it up, throughout the hard times and the good as a record of how you felt which may give comfort later on. I dont pray but I AM hoping all works out ok and your father recovers or is at least comfortable.

Much Love
Yewandé

Wonderful words that can fly accross the ocean and this picture is so touching .
You own all that in your heart no matter where you are

[Denise]

It is hard to know what to write, but I want to write to you. This is my initial thought that types out.

Beautiful.
In times of heartache, you are blessed.
You treasure the sorrow and the joy. But in the midst of sorrow;
You have much joy.

I enjoy your blog.

[My Melange]

You both look adorable together!! I bet your face lit up when you saw it :)

[Caffienated Cowgirl]

Such a great photo...glad you shared it. Keep the faith :)

[Paris Parfait]

What a sweet and romantic husband you have! Thinking of you and your family...still praying. xoxox

[Lisa Oceandreamer]

I know exactly what you mean. I blogged during THE most difficult time in my life - it kept me somewhat sane amid the insanity and the uncertainty. It was like being enveloped in the unseen nurturing I knew was out there. It is in those moments nothing changes and everything changes.
I continue to hold your hand.
XOXO
Love,
Lisa

Tender and true, he is.

Another love note....

Everyone must find their own way of dealing with such situations, and yours seems to me to be especially lovely, Corey. Sending many thoughts and prayers your way~xo

SO beautiful =**

[Karen C]

Corey - Whatever it takes to get you through. I know I owe you a lot for what you have brought me through and you never need to know. Perhaps one day I can 'pay it forward'.

PS Does Yann write to you in French or English? Not that it really matters, just curious.

[Gillian]

You are fortunate, to have that kind of love~!
Blogging must be cathartic, in a way for you. A rock.
Thinking of you,

I would have cried my eyes out. In a good crying sort of way. :)

He reminds me of Richard Gere.

Together you are both beautiful.

[Maddy]

Lots of love to you Corey, I'm always checking in and thinking of you at this very hard time. Strength to you.

[sonrie]

A love letter from home... even across the miles the heart does not waver.
If blogging helps to distract and comfort you then at least it offers a window of escape at a difficult time.
And a note of thanks for your wonderful article in this month's Romantic Homes that has helped me to escape from this endless winter.

[Jessie]

This photo is so beautiful. It oozes romance. Lovely. Thank you for sharing it. Your blog is a joy to read even if during your tough times. All the best to you.............We're with you in spirit.

[kenju]

In troubled times, a blog can be your savior, and those who respond in empathy are angels. I don't know how someone could NOT blog in those times.

[Anne]

The picture is gorgeous, it made me fill up...it really touched my heart xox

[Lea]

A love note in your heart forever...

[apt a [berriehead]]

I LOVE how tenderly he is holding you:)the way his hand is at the small of your back* great shot! I too am holding you tenderly in my mind and prayers. xo

p.s. The poem about "waiting" is by T.S. Eliot

[farmlady]

Dear Corey,
There are times in our lives that are the most difficult to bare. I understand what you are going through with your father because I went through this last year. My Dad would have been 94 today.
Having the love of a good husband is the strongest support there is. Let those arms surround you with love and strength.

P.S. You have an award waiting for you on my blog.

[Olivia]

Your story is so deep and important wherever you go in life because your offer it up from the depth of your soul. I have been praying for your father and you and lost internet contact for a while because we were moving. When we connected again I immediately came to your blog to see how you and your father are doing to your post about waiting. I immediately remembered this poem which I am sure you know:
"I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope/For hope would be hope for the wrong thing/ Wait without love, for love would be love for the wrong thing/There is yet faith, but the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting - / Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought,/So the darkness shall be the light,/And the stillness, the dancing.//
I know how difficult this is. I know how hard it is to not be able to have the power to make someone we love heal or create a desired outcome and to have to yield to life, whatever it may be. It is one of the central issues of my life to struggle around this. I want you to know how fine and couragous your spirit and your father's spirit through all. I wish for you and all your family the very best of what can be - the light and the dancing even in such a painful time. My heart is with you.

[Pat]

Amazingly beautiful photo that speaks volumes.

I absolutely understand why you continue to blog through this time, Corey.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Pat

[eivlys]

I DO understand ! keeping some little things unchanged !

take care Corey

[kim]

Well -- that just melted my heart. The photo is gorgeous. The words are so loving.

Blessings on you and your family.

Dear Corey,
I am so glad you have the comfort of your husband's and family's love and that you can enjoy blogging during this difficult time. Throughout my sisters long illness, taking part in everyday "normal" things was like magic straws that were able to hold my weight above water. All the best to you,
Merisi

[martina]

The photograph and Yann's note are beautiful!

Corey,
Seeing you and Yann is like watching a beautiful blossom in the peak of it's bloom... as rich abiding love should look.
