Nice to hear you had a good spa experien...Dear Tim,<br />Nice to hear you had a good spa experience. It is another world when you first do it! I felt the same way. That pain that pours out of you is healthy. <br />I am praying for you and Ang. <br /><br />I wanted to share you with my own little story that was inspired by reading this blog for a long time, just before Bella's death....<br /><br />I tend to get dragged into dramas because I see the negative in situations. I have been wanting to recognize the signs and change my reactions for a few years now. <br /><br />I have been "steering my course" lately. I have been avoiding the obstacles to living a positive life. I can't tell you just WHAT in this blog has helped but I know it has.<br /><br />So, thank you. I read once a week but I don't often comment unless I have something to say.<br /><br />I'm relieved you are safe. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Ellen or Oprah - I'll write!<br /><br />Take care my friend, <br />KaseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-58450798993427305182011-01-29T17:04:12.439-08:002011-01-29T17:04:12.439-08:00Tim: I hope your friends will be able to leave Cai...Tim: I hope your friends will be able to leave Cairo shortly. Here in SD we are watching the news also as a local college has aprox. 90 students and faculty there. The college band was doing a series of concerts and were originally staying near the center of the city. Yesterday they moved to a hotel closer to the airport and away from the riots. The students were to have flown out today but the flights got canceled. They have been re-scheduled for Sunday and Tuesday. (God willing) Our local news media were able to reach them by land line today. This is a quote from one college faculty:<br />"This whole event that you see evolving on television is in about a four square block area, if even that. Once in a while they move and they try to cross a bridge or they try to come back the other way, but it's all happening in the square. You leave that, and there's nothing. There's people out washing their cars. There's kids running around. All these things are happening, and it's just a very complex and very interesting place to be," Heegel said. <br /> Hopefully your friends are in an area outside of the square also and are staying safe until they are able to leave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-85336199283346203742011-01-29T11:28:06.722-08:002011-01-29T11:28:06.722-08:00Tim, what can I say ... it is not easy to lose a c...Tim, what can I say ... it is not easy to lose a child. Hugs to you!<br /><br />I am glad that you had luck and stayed in USA. Egypt was a nice place for a vacation just weeks ago, sometimes things change fast.<br /><br />You try to treat your grief with work... I hope you don't burnout trying to save other people. Give yourself time to rest. And of course - good luck with your plans!<br /><br />ElenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-61281213265305168202011-01-29T10:16:24.114-08:002011-01-29T10:16:24.114-08:00I am so glad that you guys made it to Orlando...wh...I am so glad that you guys made it to Orlando...what a pretty place huh? I'm sure the weather is just fabulous right now. That is so awesome that you got to go to a spa! WOW, I would love to go to a spa and get the royal treatment. But you definitely deserve it. I'm sorry that you started to cry when you were thinking about Bella but, I hope that it also released all of the tension and anything else you had built up so that you can feel renewed and re-energized. Sometimes we all need a good cry! I cried as you were describing the room while laying on your back and that that is what Bella saw for 99 days straight. To think of her that way breaks my heart and I just love her so much and I never got to meet her. You and Ang being her parents, I'm sure it is MUCH harder for you. <br /><br />I am so glad that you guys didn't make it out to Cairo but, I am so sorry to hear about Joes friends. I really hope and pray that they are okay and that as soon as they are able, they find a plane out of there and back to the states. <br /><br />Great idea...about sending your info to Ellen and Oprah!! Let's do it!! I'm gonna start sending those emails right away. I'm with Sara though, maybe if some of your friends send emails or make calls as well they may be more influential in the decision of getting you guys on the show. I'll email our local news too! Maybe they can do a special interest story about you guys. I know the Press Enterprise did a story about Daylon and that is how I was introduced to EB. I participated in a fundraiser they were doing to raise the money they needed for MN and I fell in love right away. <br /><br />I know Bella is so proud of you guys and for all of the hard work you do every day!! God Bless you!<br /><br />Lots of Love,<br />Amber, Craig, Malorie, and Liam<br />The McLaughlin Family, CAThe McLaughlinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13131393449323517990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257209375427878024.post-16481768886397624682011-01-29T07:28:03.270-08:002011-01-29T07:28:03.270-08:00So so sorry....I don't Have the words..
