Tears of gratitude edition. Shares still needed.

Y'all are making me cry. I know this is my girls doing this, and I love you all for it. For too many reasons that I'm not going to put out there, I have spent the last month so alone (not referring to Wings, obviously; just the complete lack of any familial or other support of my own here). And when I've been so sick I felt like I wanted to die, not even energy yet to do anything yet beyond the most basic stuff, here you are just going ahead and taking care of stuff from a distance, and I don't even have words right now.

Thank you.

We still need shares, of course:

• Shares of our YouCaring page via the widgets provided, especially the widget code, which has once again been moved back to the purple box at the lower right-hand side of the page, that produces the image shown just above.
• Shares of Wings's site; sales also fund the construction (indeed, they are the baseline for it). Testimonials help.
• I've added Lowe's gift cards to our Amazon wishlist. We're having to spring for lumber, lath, and plaster material locally. The rest of what makes it habitable — flooring, paint, appliances, etc. — are coming from Lowe's, which is giving us the best selection and price, and therefore best bang for our buck, but it's still a lot. A LOT. And so one of the best, most immediate ways to help at this point is with Lowe's gift cards. I have three separate denominations posted on the wishlist, but cards in any amount whatsoever are useful; they all go into the same pool. We're going to have to take care of the flooring very, very soon.

Still, before you share our links, please go share Laura's. Lin's spirit is where the water meets the light, but Laura will still need our help for a while. Please T/R/share/donate to her fund if you can. Especially that last. It's needed.

In the meantime, please also take a moment to share the links above.

I don't know at this point how much longer it's going to take me to get my strength back. This has wiped me out as thoroughly as a bout with Epstein-Barr (and in fact that may be an issue, too, but I'm not going back for any more labs, because even if it is, there's nothing for that except rest). The timing has been horrible, but there's nothing to be done about it now except try to get well and then get caught up. But closing out this phase (and then ::heavy sigh:: moving on to the next) will help us do that. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
