A time of sorrow

Many of you know that there has been a tragedy inflicted on my family. I appreciate all of your prayers for the well-being of my sister. Many prayers have been answered; many more are needed. I do not feel comfortable posting updates here--if you have my email address you can email me and I will put you on my update list. Or you can leave a comment with your email address (leave a note if you wish me to delete the comment after I pull the address.)
I spent Monday-Saturday with my family. I wish I could have stayed longer. It is difficult to be so far away. Even when I was there, I had Asher with me, so I could not be as helpful as I wanted to be. I understand intellectually that I have my own family to take care of--I just wish I could be there for both my husband and kids and my sisters and parents, but I can't do that all at the same time.
For now, since I had to come back home, and there isn't much I can do to help, we are going about our "normal" routine. Part of me feels guilty doing anything normal. Tonight I had my first softball game. It is kind of surreal to go about my day. Because I don't know what else to do, I plan to post updates about the happenings around here as usual, even though "usual" is not really possible right now. It may never be the same again. Thank you for your continued prayers. I assure you they are making a difference.
