Time to go Private
I have thought for some time about whether or not I should take my blog private. Recently it has become apparent that the timing is right to do so. Please let me know if you would like an invite to follow us still by leaving a comment to this post. I have so many fun pics to post, I can't wait!

i'd love to stay in the loop. :) my husband worked with naki at the state hospital. beka.clement@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteHi Abby. I have followed your blog since day one, although we have never met. My husband knows Naki (either through Mike Day or through treating him as a chiropractor...I'm not sure). I have felt so inspired by your blog! You are amazing and your girlies are darling! I would love to follow your blog, but understand if you only want personal friends/family.

Abby,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for awhile now. I don't know you personally. I just know your sister and her husband (daines) family. I knew Steve from H.S. I too can understand if you only want close friends/family to follow. If you are alright with me to continue to follow I would feel very humbled. anglesey2@gmail.com

Abby, I'd love an invite. You don't know me, but I feel like I know you and your beautiful family :) I'm Megan B's sister, Heather, in WA, and I've been following your inspiring blog for awhile now. I understand if you only want personal friends and family though. If you decide you're comfortable sending me one, I'd be happy to send you one to our private family blog as well, if you're interested :)

I would love an invite. You don't know me, but my husband worked with your brother-in-law, James, when Naki passed away, and I have been following your sweet little family ever since. You are an inspiration to me and so many others.

Abby, You and your amazing and talented girls have been such an insperation to me. You'll never know how much your words and the music you've played have helped me through my own trial. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
ReplyDeleteI have a plack that reads.........
If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together..there is something you must always remember....you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think...but the most important thing is,even if we're apart...I'll always be with You.
I believe these words would be Naki's words to you.
Merry Christmas take care, Vicki
I would love to continue following your blog.

Hi Abby, My husband Joe worked with Naki at Keystone. I know we don't know each other well, but I would love to still follow. I have actually recommended your blog to other people because you have been so open and honest about your grieving process and your feelings. (I have a friend from college whose wife died of cancer and a neighbor whose husband just died of cancer also - definitely not what they planned for their lives!) Anyway, shauntellpartridge@gmail.com. I totally understand if you want to keep it to close friends though! Thanks, Shauntell

ReplyDeleteAbby, I know we are not the closest of friends, but our girls dance together and I find your blog uplifting. I would love to continue reading it if you feel okay about it. I love your girls and you and I think you are AMAZING! I hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!. Wendy Gamette My email address is wendyg@mycpa.com
ReplyDeleteHi Abby! I sent you a message and my email on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteAbby,
ReplyDeleteSo glad I read your last post before it was too late. I would love to continue "blog stalking" you (as Dave calls it). An invite would be an honor. Love you lady!!

Hi Abby,
ReplyDeleteYou don't know me, but I have followed your blog since Naki died which coincided with the death of my dad. I always tell my mom about things you post as you share similar feelings. Your blog is inspirational to me and I believe you live close to my sister in Utah County. I understand if you only want to invite close friends, but if not, my email address is: kapalua1@comcast.net.
Thanks for the honesty you share.
Merry Christmas!
Abby, we've never met in person, but I read your blog constantly...you're strength through your trials is so inspirational, you're an amazing woman! I'd love to keep following, if it's ok with you!

If you are accepting people you don't know into your list I'd like to be included, if not, I completely understand. I too am a blog stalker. My cousin Heather is married to Frank Maile and I learned of your blog from hers. I have so appreciated this window into a world not many of us could possibly understand. It is so nice to see a blog about real feelings and not just the sugar coated stuff. I really feel like your words can help those not only suffering with the death of a loved one, but any sort of grief from a painful life experience. As you continue your education I would really love to see you write a book,I just know that you would be perfect for it. Thank you for your honest and inspiring words. God bless you and your sweet family.

Abby- I too have been following for quite sometime. Naki was one of "My Missionaries" here in Texas. My family was baptized in 1993. While I was sadden by the news of his death, I have been uplifted by your love of the Savior. Your family is beautiful and I have enjoyed reading aobut your adventures. If I could be invited, it would truly be an honor. marykstaley@yahoo.com

Thanks for sharing the good as well as all the rest. Love ya girly! Colette

Hi Abby, as many others, you don't know me. But somehow, through facebook I heard of your story when Naki passed and followed you for a long time. You were and continue to be so real. I'm not much of a blog follower and haven't kept up on yours now for some time but as I was going to bed this, your family came to mind. I came downstairs and googled your name. So glad that I did or I wouldn't have known that you intend to go private. If you will please include me on your list. I need to work to be better at being grateful for what I have and your words are so inspiring. Thank you, Melissa

Abby,
ReplyDeleteEven though we do not know each other, I would love to continue to follow you. I came across your blog through chance -- I had read your dear husband's obituary and was incredibly moved and then happened upon a link through a ward member's blog that led me to you. Your words have strengthened me and made me focus on what is truly important in life.
Thank you.

ReplyDeleteI feel like I am echoing those before me, but even though I don't know you, I would greatly appreciate being able to follow your blog. I have really enjoyed reading your blog over the past year. You have an incredible way of expressing your feelings about death and living. I have recently lost a close friend and reading your blog has really helped me.

ReplyDeleteHi Abby. I have been trying to find you and your family for several years now. I'm not sure if you remember me... you were about 16 the last time I saw you.

Hi again. I left a post yesterday, but wanted to add that I am the person who moved in with your family in Spring Mills, PA back in 1990. I had a little girl named Briane who was the same age as Liz and your mom was my "coach" when Chylei was born that June. I moved back to Florida and we lost touch after your family moved out west. I accidentally found this blog site and am excited to have found you again. I'd love to hear back from you and can be reached through facebook or with my email (llthomas32@earthlink.net). Best wishes to you for a great New Years!

I don't know if you remember me but I was in your ward in State College. I'm Erin (Wachob) Wood, or better known as Jody's little sister. I have been following your blog for quite sometime. Your posts have helped me overcome trials in my life that I was unprepared to face at the time. Thank you so much for words of wisdom and your strength and your wonderful Spirit. You truly are beautiful from the inside out.
Erin
I'd love to follow your blog. I love reading about you and your family. My kids go to school with the girls, but sadly they are all in different grades. (good at turkey trot time :P). And I love to see them riding their scooters and bikes around randomly. I've never said anything to them, and never would, as they won't remember me at all. But, as Erin said, I totally understand if you make it to the 100 invites without me.
ReplyDeleteI worked with Naki on BYD. We had so much fun. In fact I just had a funny memory that I'll have to message you. Good luck with everything in your life! You are an amazing woman and will (do) amazing things with your life.
