Support system

I was having coffee in town this morning with my dear friend W and we were discussing the great value in these circumstances of having a good support system.    I certainly have that - a whole host of good friends, family and all of you in Blogland too.   Thank you most sincerely.

    A friend of mine years ago went through an illness... she did not have much of a support system at that time. When she became well again, she knew that she needed to make changes and now she has the most incredible support system in place should she ever need one. Plus, her life is now so rich and full.
    I am very glad that you are so well supported at this time. Sending you and the farmer lots of love and prayers!

    So glad you are getting out for a coffee with friends despite what must feel grim times.
    Take time for yourself every day even if it's only escaping into a book for half an hour.
    As Beverly says, " Hugs from a complete stranger".
    I won't say that I'll never see you 'cause we often camp at the campsite just out of Grassington.

    It makes me glad to read that you have been out for coffee with a friend.
    When my husband died, that was when I learned the true value of friends and family.

    I am glad you have a great support system in place, and please count me in it, as you are in my support system. I have a support system in place which is even more precious after the death of my husband. Those phone calls, cards and lunch with lady friends give us little sparks of joy, don't they? I wish you and The Farmer well.

    Pat, you'll find the silver linings and just possibly, for you and the Farmer, the skies will be bluer...

    Isn't supportive friendships when the going is tough THE most precious thing - you have our prayers and best wishes in blogland, but I wish I could do something practical for you. I'm glad you are doing 'things for YOU' while this is unfolding - that helps keep your strength up, and your sense of perspective. Thinking of you both, Love Virginia

    Friendship and family are a powerful force and you have that by the shed load judging by all the messages winging their way to you in real life and across the miles via your blog. Best wishes to you and the farmer. x

    Sending love and positive wishes to both the Farmer and you. Your support system ranges far and wide and we are all here for you both, sending prayers, warm wishes and everything we can through the ether.

    It's a beautiful time of year for him to be able to sit, relax and drink in the awakening of the countryside. Birdsong is everywhere, the bushes and trees are full of buds and blossom and everything is awakening after a dreary Winter. A positive time of year for everything and everyone. xx
