I can not stop thinking about you, your family and precious Evan. You have touched upon your past "nothingness" with me before but never with as much candor as is poured into this post. I agree with you that we need the trivial in life. Hell- that is primarily what I cultivate in my own life, so I'd be screwed if I didn't feel that way. This post may make you feel vulnerable, but all that I see is your beautiful humanity and strength. You inspire me. Don't stop blogging kid.<BR/>love,<BR/>TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21601772.post-1164999334714118262006-12-01T13:55:00.000-05:002006-12-01T13:55:00.000-05:00Howdy! My depression had reached the lowest point ...Howdy! My depression had reached the lowest point in 1978 when I attempted "suicide by cop." That event cost me my first marriage, my job, and my health. I had seen several therapists since then and have taken a variety of medications. I'm currently medication free and no longer have depression, which I mainly attribute to my running habit. Nevertheless, I always have a watchful eye on my moods, I find when I start losing interest in running, chess, family events, food, etc., as I could be easily spiraling into deep depression. Keep active with your blogging and running, it WILL keep you sane. Be gentle with yourself, many people love you and want to see you safe and sound.

I look forward to your posts every day, bitter or not.<BR/><BR/>The hard thing is that as much as we'd like to take this burden for you or at least carry it for while (same as you with Justin and Pam), there just isn't anything we can do except what we usually do. As much as I'd like to believe in the power of casserole, it's just food. Maybe we can share some funny stories, maybe share something pretty, maybe just be here to listen.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and my secret word to get this entry posted was hugzh.

But do take time to grieve...it tends to be a healing process.<BR/><BR/>I came to your blog from RW to read about your running/prepartions for your marathons...I just recently got back into running and have been reading everything I can about it. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading your blog...but it saddens me to know that this tragedy has happened to your family and wish there was something that I could do in my powere to make the pain go away. Yes blogs are trivial compared to life and death...but...all your responses show you that there are a lot people that are touched...sad...but most of all...we care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
