Dear Lois,
I will be thinking of you both as you make this journey together.
Portia Pennington

Being home (especially with family and dogs) can be such a comfort in itself. Best wishes to you, Martin, and the rest of your family during this hard time.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
Michael Gettel-Gilmartin

Hospitals are a suspension of reality where one has very little control. Home is the place you need to be to feel the reality and appreciate the home that you have made together. Thinking of you.

Lois, you and your husband are in my thoughts.
Betty Birney

Heaven. Now there's a thought. Nothing has ever been able, ultimately, to convince me we live anywhere else. And that heaven, more a verb than a noun, more a condition than a place, is all about leading with the heart in whatever broken or ragged state it's in, stumbling forward in faith until, from time to time, we miraculously find our way. Our way to forgiveness, our way to letting go, our way to understanding, compassion and peace.
It is laughter, I think, that bubbles up at last and says, "Ho, I think we are there." And that 'there' is always here.
--Alice Walker

You have been in my thoughts and will continue to be, we will all make the journey home.
Thank you for your blog. my students are finished with reading The Giver, but they are still thinking of the themes and ideas. I continue to work it in to the daily lesson - some connection to folklore (our current unit) or a life lesson... learning never ends.

Home is indeed where the heart is. You are so open to share this with us, and I thank you for reminding me about all that is truly important in life. My thoughts are with you and yours.

My thoughts are with you and your family, Lois. Praying for you and Martin in this difficult time.

Our way to forgiveness, our way to letting go, our way to understanding, compassion and peace.
