Stolen
I try ever so hard not to hate, but there are still very strong emotions surrounding the tornado.
You stole the orange from my sunsets, the singing, the dancing, and the monkeys from my car.
You stole my boy and left me questioning my skills at fatherhood.
You took my boy...from 10 feet away from me...you took my boy!
You took my courage and wonder and replaced them with fear and doubt.
You are not a "you". How do I remove this weight from myself? How do I forgive a weather phenomenon? It's tough enough to forgive myself.

Jerry,I feel your posts, Bill & I were there and have been changed forever by it. Parts of us have died and we will never get that back. Our emotions feel dulled or completly gone. I lived day by day and was happy to just make it through a single day. It was total survival mode and a total blur at times. I've learned to appreciate all the little things in life and find a positive even in the deepest, darkest days. I would turn to humor and find a way to laugh. Things could always be worse - at least I would look for something or someone who was worse off than me to help me cope. My glass was alway half full, not half empty. I learned what battles to fight and the ones to leave alone because I needed my energy to take care of Ryan and my family. I learned to work with the people who I knew needed to help Ryan acieve the most he could. I thanked God everyday for the people he sent our way to be our support team. We were truly blessed and know that God never gives us more than we can handle. With that said, we must be exceptional people to be given the challenges that we have. Maybe one day we will fully understand God's reasons. If you ever have any questions or need some advice with Ani, please let me know. I would be more than willing to share anything that can make Ani's journey in life a great one. 507-689-2902 or Work 507-457-5605. Lori Flikki
