I am grateful to Reb for helping me with posting the photo of Dasher 1. I messed up the whole blog with my blunder.
I felt good after my grief support group last night, however, today I feel rather down. I awoke with sinus problems and have been worried about Danny’s ear problem. He woke me up scratching at his ears and shaking his head.
I called the Vet and he scheduled Danny to come tomorrow for a procedure to get a culture from his inner ear. He will have to go at 8am and be put under anesthesia so he won’t jerk his head. They will call me when he comes out of it and is ready to go home.
I forgot it was Red Hat Luncheon today. I called the hostess and told her I would come.
I called my aunt as she had decided not to go to Sam’s Place. She said that her son would only be singing a few songs and there would be other performers. She decided she would go the next night when her son would be singing the whole night. She was also upset about her nephew have dementia. She felt I would be understanding. Her nephew is a good man. I don’t understand why God let’s this happen to his people. It seems so many good Christian people either have or still are suffering. Ted said the rain falls equally on the righteous and the unrighteous.
I talked to her for awhile and realized I’d be late for my luncheon. I quickly printed a map off map quest. I thought I had followed the map but I got lost. I was able to find the restaurant and met the ladies for lunch. I felt rather anxious. I thought it would be good to get out but the whole time, I just wanted to go home. It seems that’s how I feel anymore. These feelings are part of the grieving process.
I went to Bible Study. I get a lot of support and prayers from the group. I am troubled however, as people have left the church. There were some unkind things said to them. It’s hard to comprehend how good people can be so unkind at times.
Danny has had his walk. It was misting and I believe the rain causes problems for his ears. They stick straight out and the rain can go right in. I hope things go well tomorrow and we can get to the bottom of his ear problems.

Dear Karol, Just keep taking it one day at a time. Try to find something to look forward to each day. I know that there will be days you don't want to get out of bed. Thank goodness you have Danny. Don't be shy about getting professional help. You need to think of yourself now. You have to take care of yourself first. Even if you have to push yourself to go out and be with people. You are embraced in pray everyday try to stay strong and continue on. There are a lot of Hokies out there dealing with the same issues you are. They have the advantage of numbers on there side. If you see one and need a hug just reach out it will be returned with much sincerity. Affectionately, Cheryl

Karol, Ted was right. Bad things do happen to good people. There is so much tragedy in people's lives. Some of it is brought on by our own free will, others because of the nature of our world such as the sickness Ted so bravely fought. I so glad that you have so many support groups and pray you continue to seek comfort from each of them.
How sad it is when churches are torn because of unkind words or actions. Churches should be a sanctuary of peace and calmness. But like everywhere else, different personalities and egos are involved. All we can do is pray about the situraiton and always be mindful of the feelings of those with whom we come into contact.
Hoping you get to the bottom of Danny Boy's problem today.
Phyllis
