Disconnected

One of the hardest parts of Ashley's Story is the disconnect that we experience. I have to be at home taking care of all the things in life that must continue. The kids have to go to school. Work must go on. The issue with these things is that they are part of normal everyday life. Trish and Ash are 700 miles away and there is absolutely nothing going on there that is normal. So sometimes when we talk on the phone it is very difficult. Difficult for me to connect with her and her life and difficult for her to connect with me and mine without her. She is sad, I am tired, the kids are busy, Ash is sick. It has been hard for me as I realize and now accept the fact that there will be times when we are going to live two separate lives. Trish and I have been married for 15 years this month. We have grown up together. We are very close friends and this disconnect is not something you can really prepare for. My prayer tonight is that Trish and Ash could be transferred to a hospital closer to home so we can eliminate this disconnect and begin to re-connect. I miss Trish and I miss my Gherkin.

Thank you for all your prayers and support and thank you for being an important part of Ashley's Story.

Goodnight,
