I wonder if Addy knows I think her response to "How are you?" is a good one. It's an honest answer, but it doesn't place too much pressure on the greeter.

I wonder if Sunnyside knows I'm happy she found this place because kind words here are real. We understand depression, daily struggles, and unbearable stress. Kind words won't turn to hurt because we don't expect you to perform for us. Share with us only what you feel comfortable in sharing. If by chance some words we say do hurt you, let us know and we can talk it out. It's not the intention of anyone here to hurt other members.

I wonder if my sister will be able to drive in the ice and snow that is predicted over the weekend. She and my nephew are coming in from Texas and renting a car at the airport. It's been a LONG time since she's had to drive in such weather.

I wonder how I'll get along without my closest friend and confidante. For over 30 years now we've always been there for each other. With the exception of my husband, he's the only person who truly knows when I need a loving hug or sarcastic teasing to make me laugh. His throat has been hurting for over a year now and he finally got his diagnosis: inoperable cancer in his voice box. He starts chemo in January, but his overall health isn't very good.

I wonder if anyone knows how much I hate that "C" word (cancer). I watched it destroy my best friend when we were in our 20s, and I watched it destroy my father. I'd like to say I refuse to watch it destroy my friend, but it's not my call. I can only do my best to watch over and care for him. I can only cherish the time we have left together.
