Urgent!

[lisa...@gmail.com]

Just wanted to make sure all read this :)

I want to thank you all for your hard work. You know these events are hard on me emotionally as I see the number of friends/family that don't make it and the numbers go down.  Which ultimately means a harder year for us and less therapy for Jess. 

Hard to not feel saddened by it all and be reminded of the loss of not just Jessica's sweet personality but the loss of our people. 

But it also makes me that much more grateful for you all and the things she will get due to the successes!

Even if you couldn't make the event I know you were hard at work prior and in poor Gina and Pop's case after as well!

(Pam, you always go above and beyond even when you aren't able to be there) We are truly blessed to have you all. 

I also know that other people have their own stuff going on that makes this hard so appreciate even the little things. 

I hope this makes you realize that much more how rare you all are to really step up and do and not just talk because that is the norm. Not just for us but for other TBI families that share w me.   I really hope you know how much it means to us and to Jessica's chances of getting better and me sane :)

I know we are beyond blessed to have such a loyal group. I also know I often don't deserve that and that you can separate that and still help my sweet Jess who oh so does. 

There were a lot of people even strangers who came out and had so many compliments of this event and how smoothly it all went and the quality of it all. So thank you team. We love you and appreciate you all!  

Hugs!

Lisa and Jessica :)

We love you too!  Thought I'd share a personal story with you all.  When I came back from AZ I came into the room and as soon I saw Jess I immediately started talking w her and hugging her and she started to look sad like she was relieved or missed me or something. Don't think she'd cry because I was home!  Lol. Hope not!  Even Axsom noticed the change in demeanor. 

I was like "Jess what's wrong?"  I'm sorry you are sad and I know it's frustrating you can't tell me why. I then told her I had been really struggling and sad that day also and that maybe we both are pmsing as we are on the same schedule. That we both have to remember that although sad for reasons, it probably feels worse than normal because of that. That I had to remind myself of this because then I know I will feel better soon. So suggested she did the same. 

I did not share w her what triggered mine as it would only hurt her more. Leaving Trent in AZ and (Sarah Brant's wedding photo on Facebook). This triggered many emotions for me. I can't imagine what that would do to her as it has been years since she has seen her and a horrible reminder of that and what she is missing etc. 

Anyway... after I was done with my pep talk she smiled and laughed a little.   The next day ...Jessica got her period. 

I know it sounds like TMI to some but for me it was proof that I know what I see, I know that when something is big enough like pain, major sadness etc she is able to now relate these things to cause an outward emotion.  When we told her about my brother she also was able to express her emotion. 

Of course I am not thrilled about her being sad but I am grateful that at least when there are biggies we can start to be able to address them with her. 

So again I feel like God can make good things come from the bad. 

That's my novel for the day!  Lol.

We love your novels. We are your people Lis, so it's just as important to us. Never too much info 🙂. And as much as I want to dislike the Brandts, you know Sarah lives with her own demons with exiting and not sticking by Jess' side. This will haunt her for her entire life, so until she grows up (as her mom stunted her growth by being a controlling tiger mom too often), and realizes that healing will only come by facing this. It will come and when it does we will all welcome and forgive. That's what we do. Xoxo!

Thank you - Karen

Lisa, We are the Jessica group. What an honor that is for us. Your novels justify who we are and why we do what we do. In my case, I just want you and Jess to know that I have not been there as much as I used to be. But that doesn't negate the dedication I and speaking for all of us, that we have to the cause. To do all we can to contribute to Jessica's recovery. "Whatever it Takes" !!

This journey is not over and we don't know what God has in store. And thank you Karen for you comments. At some point in her life Sarah will be her own decision maker. When that time comes she will have to come to terms with her past and make a decision to rectify it. We will welcome that with open arms when she can appreciate the truth.

You know your daughter so well you can decipher her thoughts and feelings. As parts of her brain reactivate her emotions and feelings will become more obvious. One of the attendees of the Pasta Feed came by the other day and asked about Jess. He said he noticed from the year before that she was much more alert and aware of the happenings around her. I have seen the same thing. When we are away for awhile, the progression is more obvious than being there day after day. 

You know I Love You !!

PS: By the way......I have flyer miles with Alaska that are yours if you need them. I don't know how that works but I am sure you can teach me. LOL
