Next Step

I wish I knew what the next step will be. My husbands job was eliminated today. A lot of peoples jobs are going away right now. I do not know how I feel...just numb right now. And scared. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I can't even worry yet. Because I don't know what is waiting further down the road for us.

I think I will probably go into survival mode. Food and shelter will be priority one. Then cars, electric, and water. Everything else, I don't know. I just want to know that Allan and I will be alright.

We knew that this could happen. We knew the company was going through looking at every position....with the intent of cutting jobs, to save money. I prayed. We both prayed. On Saturday night, at the concert, I relaxed. Allan still had his job. Maybe this awful thing would pass us by. Other co-workers agreed. Afterall, who would want Allans job.

Maybe, by some miracle, this will be good and everything will turn out better. They say that when a door closes, a window opens. I hope that happens for us.

To my family and friends, please pray for us. Don't be afraid to reach out to us. We will keep you in the loop, we will ask if we have needs. Help us only if you can. We truly love each of you.
Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mom - I know it is no fun and really scary. Hang in there! Keep us posted, and if there is anything else I can do let me know.
