It’s Sunday noon and I’ve taken my first plunge into the bloggosphere. Not sure whether this is going to be an ideal format, but will check it out. Quite frankly, until last week, I wondered what all these people were doing on blogs anyway. Today, I see this as a tool with which to communicate and send back a small measure of the love that has been sent our way since Mike’s death.
I am humbled and grateful for your concern, prayers and offers of help. Marley, Avery and I are going to need this over the next weeks and months. As David Brower so wisely posted about his daughter Devin’s recent health crisis, this is going to be “a marathon, not a sprint.” I hope I am up to the task. I know that I can’t do it without the help of my circles of support and am grateful for them all.
Thanks to all who have sent me, Marley and Avery your prayers, food, money and more in this time of tragedy for my family. If I have not returned your phone calls or e-mails yet, please don’t think I’ve forgotten you. This has all been just so overwhelming.
I’m going to send this post up, just to see how it looks and will try to give updates on how we are doing and let you know of any way in which we could use help. I am in the process of sorting out many things, including what form our businesses will take now that Mike, my partner in so many ways, has moved on to the other side.
If you have any stories about Mike that you’d like to share, feel free to post them in the comments. I want to keep a record for my children so they will have a clearer idea of who their wonderful father was despite the fact that they were so young when he departed from their lives.
Blessed Be,
Chris Prichard
