WG's mom.

I hope you guys don't mind, I'm falling hopelessly behind on comments right now. I've read them though, and I appreciate all your thoughts and kind words.

We're flying down on Friday, though not sure if WG can get the day off or not.

He called a coworker and apparently there's this wild rumor in the yard that WG took a week off to do some training or something looking for another job, which is just crazy. But if they really believe it no wonder his job is asking for proof that he was sick. He does not need this right now.

We fly out on Saturday. I'm flying from Sacramento to Spokane. Originally I hoped WG would come with me. Last night he liked the idea. Now he feels it's just too much travel time and he doesn't want to be locked into a four-hour event. I was hoping a stadium full of fans and something pretty mindless would be just the ticket -- and I want to be near him.

I'm fried. Trying to do homework, it's not sinking in. I've told all my professors what's going on.

wildernessguru broke down sobbing last night. This is just devastating to him.

I'm thinking of shining the nationals. God, I want to go so bad, but if we're not together....

A friend of mine who'd finished three-year retreat once said that we try to avoid the sense of limbo when our lives are going through a lot of changes. We want to be comfortable again. In fact, that gap, that spaciousness is a good place to be and we shouldn't run from it but stay with it. This is bizarrely helpful.

Don't worry about responding to comments hon.

You guys do whatever you have to do to get things done and know that we're all thinking about you guys, sending positive thoughts and warm hugs your way.

I am so sorry. Please pass along hugs and comfort to WG, and take some for yourself, too.

The poor guy does not need that sort of work stress on top of everything else he's going through.

Don't worry about replying back to every comment you get. We certainly understand.

It's early in the term yet. I know this is probably unwelcome advice, but it might be wise to consider dropping any classes you can.

That's good advice. If I weren't on financial aid, I'd do it, yes. Under financial aid I have to have a minimum 12 credits.

However, there may be a way I can do this. I have one class this quarter that was supposed to be 3 credits and then turned into a 5 credit class. I might be able to talk to her and perhaps do it as a 3 credit class.

I've been trying to figure out what to say and not saying anything and then realized that saying something is probably better than saying nothing at all...

I am so sorry for you both. I know that you'll both make it through this - you're strong people - you'll be battered, but not broken.

I wish I could say more, but I have an inkling of what you guys are going through, and there's not much to say.
