In times like this, people naturally look for the positive.
Nobody wants to be the Fuddy Duddy,
saying things to bring Kathy down, pointing out difficulties as impossible or spreading hopeless predictions to the people who love her.
Nobody wants to be the bearer of bad news.
With this in mind, It would be easy to be unrealistically optimistic.
Easy to make a big deal out of little things in an attempt to avoid being that person we don't want to be thought of as.
I have to tell you, there is no avoidance going on here.
Sure, there is the chance that Kathy may not walk right again, but I REALLY think she will!
I'm not saying that it will be easy for her to keep her spirits up, but from what I've seen of her friends so far, it will be alot harder to bring her spirits down!
From the cards and gifts and calls, to helping to take care of her, clean the house and making dinner (so I can get back to work), the positive energy from Kathy's friends is overwhelming!
I have thanked people in this blog who have stepped up for Kathy. I have neglected to thank so many who have sent cards, flowers and phone calls that have been a light in her world. A world that could've easily been dark without you.
So, I'm not exaggerating my appreciation.
I'm not faking my optimism.
I say life will be as great as it was. Greater even!
Kathy says I'm a Dreamer.
I say she's My Dream.
Odds are you will all get to share in this dream becoming a reality.
