All,
I sat here late last night. I have been thinking about everything that has happened. I feel like every aspect of my life has changed. I catch myself thinking about how this has happened to me, but it hasn't. It has happened to Jodi. However, I continue to think about how helpless I feel, not only about Jodi's situation, but about everything else in my life.
I don't feel like I can be with my kids the amount of time they need or even watch little Ana Jain as I would like. I don't feel like I can be with Jodi the amount of time she needs and I can't spend the required time at work. I don't have time for Christmas and shopping for groceries. There are many other things that I can't do and feel like I haven't given it my full attention.
This may sound like post for self pitty, but it is really a post for gratitude. I am a proud person and I don't like anyone doing something for me that I can do for myself. For all of the things I haven't been able to do, someone has stepped up to do it for me. There aren't words I could say, or deeds I could do, to repay all of our neighbors, friends and family for all of the things they have done for me, Jodi and our kids. Any ONE of these things I could do, but I couldn't do ALL of these things. I thank you all for everything you have done.
It has been a humbling experience. Thank you all for the love you have given my family. Continue to pray for Jodi.
I miss her.

Thanks to the family for the blog.
So many of us have been wondering about Jodi and how she is doing.
Jodi, we think of you and pray for you each day. Get better soon!

Thank you for the updates on Jodi. There is not a moment that goes by I don't think about Jodi, Robert and the rest of family. Jodi, you look BEAUTIFUL and your smile is amazing. Forget about the Wii, Eye Patches are "the thing" this season (ERRRRRR):) It was 3 years ago almost to the day (Nov 30) that we were dealing with alot of the same things with Saige and I can tell you that things will be different but in a way you can't ever imagine and we wouldn't change a thing. We are here for you. ANYTHING...I am just a phone call away. KEEP SMILING Jodi!!!
All our Love and Prayers,
Stacy Abbott and family:)
