The focus for me right now is:
1. eat
2. try to rest some
3. love Phil
4. have faith and trust (not so easy..I'm trying)
5. say YES to any help, creative idea, offering
One of Phil's friend's Chris Moran has helped me to set up a family emergency fund donation button on this blog. Within five minutes -- a donation flowed. Amazing, simply amazing. This will help pay for the car rental for a day or two and a few meals. I am in awe.
I promise there will be so many ways to help. My sister Lisa and Sarah are working with a website called Lots of Helping Hands -- which will hopefully offer some tangebile, bite-sized chunks of opportunity. This will appear on the blog as well.
Faith. Trust. Faith. Trust. Faith. Trust. Faith. Trust -- Yes. I will try. Yes.

I only know Phil from reading him on the Shakuhachi.com site, and am very sorry to hear about his illness. It sounds like he is improving, which is wonderful! Wishing you all the best and Phil's continuing recovery. Lance
ReplyDeleteDear Lara, I just found out what happened a minute ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will keep up with the blog and any way to help. Blessings for a quick recovery for Phil, strength and breath for you and a strong healthy baby. Love, Jen Hicks
ReplyDeleteHello Lara,
ReplyDeleteI don't know you but I wanted to share. Last year I was 7.5 months pregnant when my life with my partner changed dramatically. We were both sent into our depths. The spirit of our child was so willing and had so much love for us to grow beyond where we thought we could. I went through doubt, abandonment, mind boggling stress with a focus that I didn't know I had in me. The love I felt in my pregnancy and feel for my son, now 1 year, has carried me into a new strength, a strength that I had longed to understand within myself. I am amazed that I went through what I did while pregnant. I came out with more love. I'm sure you will find yourself in the place you have longed for. Blessings. Michelle
Querida Lara,
ReplyDeleteI heard the news today. I sit here at my desk thinking of you, Phil and the little one. I am saddened but hopeful. You are so full of love and light. This is emanating from the words that you write in you blog. All will be as it will be, in a good way. Even from the deepest of grief in my life good has emerged, as it will for all of you. Sending you much love and light...
Mucho amor,
Tabatha
Hi Lara,
ReplyDeleteI met you once at Andy's. Just wanted to let you know that myself and family and friends have all sent prayers for Phil's recovery, and will continue to do so. Your blog is wonderfull. I have called the hospital several times to check on his status, and he appears to be progressing.
My strong sense is that he will fully recover.
Say hi to him for me.
Fondly,
Jeff
