What's Going On

I hope you all did not miss me to bad this week. I have had a busy schedule the last week. I have been practicing with a new bass player for a show we played last night, going to birthday party's, and open houses for school. So today is a nice rainy day to relax and get some things done like go to my sisters' so my brother-in-law can help me work on my car. Thanks John. My poor 1992 Chevy Cavalier has been running poorly due to some radiator issues. Hopefully today we can get it straightened out.

If you have read Beth's blog lately you would know that she is going through a lot right now. She is completely overwhelmed by life. It is not far to her to just tell her to pray about it or she's just depressed because that would be the easy way to put a band aid on the situation. For many years she has been silent about a lot of things in her life that bother her. And when she started her blog it was a helpful tool to talk about Christian and what was going on in his life. Most of you know by now that our son was diagnosed with ADHD last October. And I would say that most of you know that he may have some form of Autism. We are still waiting for the TEEACH foundation to call for a evaluation date for Christian. It could be as late as December before we hear anything.


I wanted to share that with you all so that you will stand with us in prayer. I do believe that that will help us throught this ruff time. If you want maybe you would comment on her blog or write her a letter of encouragement. This morning she has gone to talk to a doctor. Thanks to her mom. Thank you Linda. Bethie I love you. I will see you when you get home. Thanks to all of you who read Beth's blog and mine. I don't think she is done completely with her blog. She will probably take a break for awhile. I wanted to share this letter with you to her from me. Thanks again for all the support.


Dearest Bethie,

I wanted to tell you that I am sorry for all the turmoil that feel right now. I am sorry if the pressure of everyday life is pounding at your doorstep. Christian and I love you very much and we support you in love and share with you the hope of better days to come. I want you to know that we are here for you. You have been the glue that holds our family together. And what a magnificent woman you are. I cant help to feel a little responsible for what is going on. I know you stress about our finances. I will not tell to stop worrying about them anymore. I thought we had made a good decision with you staying home with Christian all this years. I will say that he had the best companion and teacher that he could have ever had with you. I know its a job that does pay a lot and it seems boring at times. Thank you for putting his needs above anyone else's. I know that in you are feeling a little down and out right now. I wish I could help you. I also understand that right now there is not a lot I can do. I stand with you. I will be by your side through all these hard times. I love you more than I could every put in words. I am here for you my dearest Bethie. I am sorry if I have contributed to some of your hardship.

Love you very much,

Thad

I will blog at you later.
