Benji, I’ve never met you, but I watched LeeAnna grow up in Thomson. I want you to know that your writings helped me so much, as comforting and giving me a trust in God! My story is similar to yours with AC, but it was my husband who grew ill. To make a long story short, my Chip started having problems with his heart in March 2018. After several procedures we stayed in the University Hospital from June until September 9th, I was with him except for one night. On September 9th we were sent home with Hospice. My Chip died on September 13th with his family around him saying goodbye. Due to my health issues, I had to move to Madison to live with my youngest daughter! I spent 46 years with Chip and that was not long enough, every once in awhile I get angry with God, but I remember that I will see Chip again....,,, Truly, I am so thankful for your sharing your faith, it saved me in my tragedy! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Happy New Year Hollis family and Happy Birthday to AC! Thank you again for sharing your heart. I can not know the weight of your grief but I am grateful that you share. Grief is unkind. I was watching a movie the other day...it was a weird one but there was a quote that said "Sometimes the only way out is through." With grief, through is like walking through an abyss. Seems like there is no way out. No forgetting. And then that painful realization that the world just keeps right on spinning. Tragedies all around and yet it keeps moving. It can be an all-consuming darkness. How do you get out? You all are never far from my thoughts and I keep a special prayer in my heart for you, LeAnna and Everlee. I thank you for answering the questions that I can't and wouldn't ask. I'm not entitled to know or to be allowed any access to what you are experiencing. It's your pain. She was your child. Thank you for your candor. As a person that has had to have a different walk with grief knowing how you are doing, good and bad, is comforting. I never thought that it would end, the pain. It changes you. Most people would abandon their faith and you've found it! That is so amazing. I also know that it's complicated. Thank you again for sharing. I'll be eating a piece of cake in her honor and praying for blessings upon blessings for you all in this New Year.
