Journal entry by Kristin Madeja —
Hello friends,
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to say thank you. So many of you are reaching out, helping with the leaves in my yard, bringing me meals or having me over for dinner. Your care means so much during this time.
I am doing ok. It's very quiet at home and I attempt to get out regularly to enjoy the fall. I spent several days in Wisconsin with my parents earlier this month. I have attended more plays/musicals/shows than I thought possible, which has been so fun for me.
People often ask what they can do to help.
- Providing a meal. You can sign up for the Meal Train.
- If you feel like helping with household tasks, let me know. My energy is often low and it's taking me longer to get the simple things done.
- Invite me out--lunch or dinner is great. Gets me out of the house and outside myself a bit.
- Share stories. Some of the best moments have been you all sharing your pictures, stories, new prayer boxes. Hearing John's legacy continues to inspire me. You can text or email or leave a comment here on Caring Bridge.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
