Since none of you are around today, I'll do all the talking. Hey, did I just hear someone say, so what else is new? Lol

NOTHING but the truth in all you say and the Great Teacher sent me this in my inbox this morning -
An Alternative to Worry | Our Daily Bread
So I'll take that as one of my lessons this time around.

I know you were addressing Nucky in this post but what I highlighted was exactly the source of my worry and distress these past 4+ days. We, meaning hubby and I, have dealt with losing plenty of loved ones over the years. All of the generation before us is gone except this one last uncle. In fact, in one 2 year period we counted 7 close family members who had passed on. That's when we accepted that it can come at any time, at any age, to anyone, for any reason - sometimes expected and at others it was tragically sudden. But I have never been in a position like this current one where there was a very specific time frame of waiting for the verdict. It was 4 days of hell, to say the least, and by the 3rd day I was pretty much reduced to NOTHING. I could have lived with the result - do you have a choice? - but it was the waiting....
So I thank you all again for the support and caring you provided through that time. If NOTHING else, even by just giving me the time and space I needed. And by carrying on with NOTHING was also a big comfort even if I didn't feel up for participating. I don't know how I got so blessed to find a bunch of NOTHINGS like all of you, but instead of questioning it, I'm just gonna run with it. Love you guys.
