(((Oh Randi)))

My friend...it is so good to have you back here. Thank you for a beautiful post...your last paragraph is imprinted on my heart and mind.

Deb

 
Randi, my thoughts continue to be with you during these difficult times...Please

know we are here for you!

 
(((Randi)))Take care of yourself and do call if there is anything I can do from here.

 
Randi, thank you for your post. I think Sylvia is right, the kindnesses you and Don

show others with is coming back to you. A very good lesson, thank you for reminding me!

Your post most certainly brought tears to my eyes as I could feel your struggles thru your words. It also reminded me of the importance of words "love thy neighbor".

Please take care and feel free to call on us if there is anything we could do for you!

 
Our dear Randi, there are tears in my eyes after reading your story. --

Tears of sadness for your loss, and tears of joy for the kindness and love shown by your friends who have gathered around for support.

Thanks for the update.

Love and light to you and yours.

 
Yes Randi, take all the love and support you need right now. You have given so much to others, now

it's just your turn, and some day you will be the one giving again. Blessings and restfull sleep I wish for you.

 
thank you everyone. right now, I wish you all lived next door! smileys/smile.gif

all of your warm and loving thoughts mean a lot to me. what a special group you all are. I will post as I can. right now, I'm shredding so many old financial documents that I almost burned out the shredder. ActionNet's tech was here again this morning and will be back this afternoon as there is yet another critical problem.

the owner has been out of town and returns this afternoon. I hope to meet with him this weekend and pray they will be interested in buying the bldg and business together and I can get out of this hell. I'm helpless before the technical problems.

I'm just thankfull for the community pulling for me and keeping me afloat. once things are sold and the debt it paid off, I can figure out what my "new" life is going to be.

much love to you all.....

 
(((Randi))) there are no words - my heart to you and yours......

keep these wonderful friends by your side. Take time for yourself, be good to yourself, ask when you need help, and share your grief with a good listener.

((((((BIG HUG)))))))

BTW, one piece of advice I will pass on from trauma experts is to try and not make any big changes/decisions for 12-18 months -if you can help it.

 
thanks, and no, big decisions will not be made for a year. Don and

I were already planning to sell the business. I have to now, in order to survive myself and protect a very loyal customer base. I have a preliminary meeting tomorrow afternoon, over a glass of wine smileys/smile.gif

sorry for above, I just had two days of crisis at the office. Michelle is a miracle worker and, of course, ActionNet was here helping again. things will work out and in a couple of months I might even be posting recipes again. something to look forward to smileys/smile.gif

XOXOXO

 
I thought I would share a lesson that I just learned.

in a crisis, it may not be the friends you that expected that stand by your side. but the ones who take your hand and walk by your side through your hell have good fire extinquishers and know how to use them. randi smileys/smile.gif

 
Yep. I think that's the way it is. It's surprising, just who really does come through sometimes

and often it's not the ones you call "friend". And the ones you might automatically expect, are nowhere to be found.

There are some hidden gems out there.

 
Thank you Randi, I think most of us are afraid to be to agressive or intrusive and don't always help

the way we should. I'm just so glad you have such wonderful help.
