I can't even describe to you all what your messages meant to me. I am so sorry to have put you in the situation of having to worry :( That night I was in a state of depression that I thought I would never be able to get out of. Your immediate posts distracted me long enough for my father to unexpectedly come home that night and be with me...if it wasn't for the distraction and all of your kind and caring words, I feel like I would have taken action in harming myself before he had a chance to be there. I truly feel that you wonderful women saved me, if everything had not been perfectly timed as it was, I feel there would have been a much different outcome to the story. Thank you SO much for all your love and care, I am truly blessed!!! The situation has brought me to view life in a much different way...this world is not as cruel as I once thought...God Bless you ALL!

Love, Abbey

P.S.

Anna, thank you so much for visiting Isabel's Gravesite, I went there yesterday and saw the beautiful flowers you brought, thank you for all your lovve and support!

Abbey,

I am sooo very happy to see that you are doing well and have posted. I know I don't personally know you but I was worried sick about you. PLEASE do not do that again - I do not think I can take it:)!

I am happy you have a new view of things and I pray your days get brighter. If you ever need anything you can email me: kath1221@optonline.net

Abbey,

I'm so glad to see a post from you letting us know you're all right and that you're looking at things differently now. I have thought about you for several days now and even tho we don't know each other, I just felt compelled to do the things I did. Maybe it was the local connection, maybe it was a "mommy" connection - I don't know. Just know that if you ever need support you can come here because we all do care.

lots of love,

Anna

Abbey,

I too, am so grateful to see you posting. It really made a huge impact on the lives of the women here on the board after reading your post. When my DH came home from work on Monday, I told him how so many women had reached out to you and how it reminded me of Sept 11th all over again. Strangers helping strangers. It was so beautiful to see.

I really agree with Tara - I think you should print out the almost 80 responses (combined posts') and put them in an envelope, keep them with the keepsakes of Isabel memories. When you are thinking of her and having a difficult time, re-read them. Allow God to show you how much HE LOVES you and how much you are loved by others!

Abbey, it sounds like you are a Christian... or at least that you believe in God, so I wanted to give you a couple of scriptures to read and hopefully remember.

In Psalms 27:4-5 it says:

"One thing I have asked of the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to meditate in His temple. For in the day of trouble, He will conceal me in His tabernacle, in the secret place of His tent He will hide me, He will lift me up on a rock."

God is there for you. He is there to provide shelter to you (literally, but I'm speaking figuratively), to take you under His wings and protect you... from hurt, fears, anger, anguish, and so on. God is a God of love... He does love you!

I am so sorry for what you went through. I truly hope you are doing better and are able to reach out to someone close by. Someone who can help pull you through this one day at a time, without feeling so alone and saddened.

We love you here Abbey, but more important that "man"... GOD LOVES YOU!

I have been praying for you.

In Him,

Bethanee
