I never wanted to write this post.
Life has taken a complete turnaround in one week, things I didn't think were possible are now my reality. I could write a novel's worth of words to explain what is going on, but I won't, not here, not right now at least.
I do ask that if you are the praying type of person, please pray for me and my children. And if you're not, please keep us in your thoughts.
I do also want to add that this blog has been part of my own therapy, and I hope it can continue to be that.

I read your blog obsessively, but I don't think I've ever left a comment. Just wanted you to know I am the praying type...and you and your children are in my prayers. It's the least I could do after all the joy and inspiration your blog has brought me and my children.

This makes me so sad. You and your kids are in my thoughts.
You and your family are in my prayers and my thoughts. Wishing you well.

I dont know what your beliefs are, but I believe God never gives us anything that we cant handle. I dont know your struggle, but I became a widow at 32 and remembering this has helped me. You can do it, whatever it is.
Anna, you already have been and will continue to be in my prayers. You are an amazing and strong woman and I'm so lucky to call you my friend.

I've been thinking of you this week. I saw the Cottage Home post that said you weren't participating this week due to a family issue. I hoped it wasn't serious, just the flu or something. I am sorry to learn that it's something more. I hope things get better for you soon. Your family will be in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to read that things are so tough right now, I think the fact you've posted this gives a hint at how bad, so yes I'll be thinking every kind of good thought for you and your lovely girls. You have such a delightful blog and have given me much pleasure over the years I've been reading that you surely deserve that good karma back in spades. Big hugs from someone in New Zealand, a long way away but feeling absurdly teary and wishing she could help.
Hang in there, I hope things turn around and will keep you in my thoughts.
Whatever your battle...stay strong, sweetie! ♥

Oh Anna, I am thinking of you and your children. You are such a wonderful person and it hurts my heart to think that you are in pain and struggling. You have always been such a source of support for me and I hope to offer the same in return. Know that you and your beautiful kiddos will be in my thoughts often ... hug, hugs and more hugs sweetie. You are a strong woman and mother and deep down inside of you, I know there is a type of strength you never imagined you could summon, but when you need it, it'll be there. May things start looking up shortly for you. Much love, Jenna
Holding you and yours in my heart and thoughts. Be strong, but don't be afraid to bend in the gales. It keeps you from breaking.
Prayers for comfort, peace, endurance and others to come close to you to uphold you and help you walk whatever road you're on. reading the other comments, there are many who have been through hard times lifting you up and willing to offer words of encouragement and support now, and even more as you are able to share your struggle. God's peace over you.
oh anna. so sorry to hear you are hurting. you are definitely adored by so many people and your blog brings so much joy to others. i hope some joy finds its way back to you soon.

margie
Of course i will pray for you and your children. This year has not been kind to me and i appreciate the pictures you included. I wish you the best.
I say a prayer for you an feel with you whatever happened to you!
I know that life can be so hard since the day my 3 year old son became a diabetc. He is 5 1/2 now an the hardest times are over but is was just shoking! It took almost a year to have a kind of nomal life again. Now we are stronger than before and he dosen´t feel ill at all. To be a diabetic is normal life for him.
I´ll keep you in my mind!

"Woman is like the reed, which bends to every breeze, but breaks not in the tempest." -Richard Whately
I will be wishing you the best and thinking of you and your family, hope your holidays are blessed
Hi Anna,
me too, I'm one of your "non commenting readers - sorry" but after having read your last post, I felt the need to write you, that I'm really thinking of you and your children. Here we say, that whenever a door is closed there'll be another one that opens!
I hope, that this'll happen to you very soon!!!
Martina/Cologne/Germany
will send up a prayer!
i know you don't know me, but if you need a prayer you can count on me. take care of yourself and your family.
xoxo
Oh no Anna! My heart sank when I read your post. So very, very sorry! Although my faith in prayer has been tested, I've learned that even if the situation I'm desperately praying for does not resolve, I can still feel love and strength holding me up. So YES, I will pray for you and your children.
Anna - I'll pray. Being a parent will remind you again and again not to judge because you just don't know what others are going through. Hope you have a good "real life" support system.
No matter what is going on, know that you and your children are loved and have so many people praying over your situation.
The Spirit brought this verse to my mind as I read your post: "Haven't I commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you, wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 Praying that his presence will give you strength, according to his Word, for whatever you must walk through.
Be strong and receive my positives thoughts.I'll be thinking of you and your children.Livy Spain
I will be praying for you and your family, Anna! Sending love and positive thoughts your way!!!

you can do this anna. whatever it is, if YOU are the praying kind, i know that helps as well. we too have gone through some hell at our house, and i know my prayers and others prayers are why i stand and keep moving everyday. please hang in there, we're with you.
praying for you this morning
Praying for your family to find that God will supply all you need. ". . their soul is melted because of trouble. . . and are at their wit's end. then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses." Psalm 107:26-28
I'm thinking of you and the kids, Anna. Sorry you're going through a tough time.
I am not really a religious person but I think of you and even if it is only virtual, please feel hugged. You know that I love to read your blog for quite some time now and you shared so many moments on your blog. I hope it may help you in the future and if there is something you want or need, please just write :) I know how it is if the own world turns upside down, it happened too often in the past years of my life.

Stephanie from Paris, France
Oh no, Anna. I'm so sorry. I will be praying for you. And wishing I could give you a hug and make it better somehow.
First time commenter...longtime reader...longer time praying person. The best part about praying is that God knows more about what we are asking for than we do. You'll be okay...if it is what I've been through, the worst is already past.
Of course. I hope that you find peace and strength no matter what it is that is standing in front of you.
Keeping you and your children in my thoughts, be strong x.
sending warm thoughts down the river to you.... head up....
Your blog has helped me so I send you and your family happy and healthy wishes that things will soon improve for you all.

Crap. I'm sorry that something you didn't want is now here. Wishing you peace, and prayers for you and the girlies. It sounds strange, since we've never met in person, but know I love and admire you. I am grateful for the kindness you've extended to me and the wonderful creativity you share. Hang in there.
