Hi Michelle, How far is Lousiana from Houston? I will see if I could pay you visit during christmas (I will be in Houston from Nov9-Jan29).
You have been so strong, mature through all this, its very humbling. You could be a role model to people in learning to cope with their personal losses. You mom, who would be looking at you from heaven, would be so proud of you. I hope I could be as strong and big hearted as you.
I pray that God gives you all the strength and peace you need to get through this.
Warm hugs,
Ankush
