Soon, But Not Yet

I know you're all anxiously awaiting Getupgrrl updates, and I assure you that you'll get them as soon as I do. I've got The Hotline duct taped to my hip, ringer volume on high. It could be hours, it could be days. But it definitely won't be weeks. It is, you know, nigh.

In the meantime, please keep sending your love and good wishes to Getupgrrl, Sarah and their families. And go boil some water.

[Trina]

Hi Danae and thank you so much for the update. I have never commented before but I wanted you to know that I have thought about you in the past few weeks more than a complete stranger should :)

You are in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you nothing but the very best this life has to give. You deserve it!

[mamadaisy]

ditto PP.

danae, thank you so very much for keeping us updated, especially while you are in such a dark, dark place yourself.

sending you lots of hugs. oreos don't make it better, but they sure help.

[Toni]

Danae:

Thank you for keeping us posted about Grrl and Gefilte.

I hope you are doing well (as well as can be expected), too. I know I'm a total stranger to you, but I've followed your journey and have been thinking of you recently, wishing you well, though please take your pants off sometimes to wash, okay?

[Brighton]

Yeah for Nigh!! Best wishes!!

[Jo]

Thanks so much for letting us know, Danae. I'm another stranger to you who has been thinking of you and sending you all my best comforting vibes. You're a gem to be presiding over this information in light of all the painful crap you've endured.

One Who's Been There

[Mary]

Yahooo! Waiting and refreshing...again and again and again!

[Julia]

What gave it away that we were anxious? A cabillion hits? (200 of of the mine?)

Thanks for the update.

Still thinking of you and wishing you peace.

[Trish]

How bad is it that I dreamed of updates about Grrl last night? SIGH- signs I'm going crazy.

Thanks for the update! I cannot wait to hear the collective sigh when it's seen that NBH.

[Beth]

Danae! You are back! We have missed you. Of course one look at your site statistics would tell you that but, that's not quite the same.

Hope you are doing okay and recovering. I think of you daily and say a little prayer begging any diety who will listen to send you some good luck.

Thanks for being willing (and able) to keep us updated on the Gefilte Boy, most appreciated!

Take care and send our love to Mr. Danae too!

[Momness]

Thank you Danae for the update. Sending Sarah easy labour thoughts, Grrl and hubby calming thoughts... and thinking of you, too.

[Jessica]

Sending lots of good thoughts to Gefilte, Grrl, Mr Grrl, and Sarah. May something good happen soon.

[Vix]

As well as boiling water, should we get towels as well?

Hope your feeling as OK as you can

[Lyss]

How YOU doin?

[sara]

Danae,

Thank you for the update on Grrl. I know it can't be a very easy time for you right now.

Thoughts and well-wishes and boiling water to all involved. And major hugs to you.

[wavybrains]

Sending good wishes to Grrl and her family, but also to YOU. I know this can't be easy for you, and I can't even begin to contemplate the wide range of emotions you have swimming through you right now--thank you for doing this for Grrl and for us, and take care of yourself during this time.

[Liz]

You are an effing unreal friend.

They don't make them like you anymore...and I know Grrl knows it, too.

Hugs...

[Ellen]

Thanks for what you're doing for her and us - thanks for the update. God bless and best wishes on for yourself as well -
E

[FrumDad]

Yeek! Ark! I'm going into Shabbos in a few hours, and then 25 hours of no refreshing!

I already have my Wahoo! comment/post all thunk up...

(I tried doing it white-on-white, but I ain't got the chops. Ah well.)

--FD

Danae -- I don't have anything insightful or clever to add to what's been said. Sending you warm and good thoughts.

[JuliaKB]

I am not going to boil water-- with the temperature outside, I think it's all boiled anyway.

Thank you for the update. Will keep refreshing.

And like everyone said, thank you for being such a good friend. I am sorry your circumstances are not happy-sappy. So very sorry.

[Jenn]

I've got towels, boiling water, and toothpicks! Bring Nigh on!

[LisaN]

Yes thank you for the update. I think I broke my refresh button.

I've never posted here before, but I have been following your blog for a while. I'm pulling for you.

[Amy E.]

Even though your heart must be broken it is nice to see your wit and warmth are intact.

Thanks so much for the update. If we are all this anxious for the good news I can hardly imagine how Grrl is feeling.

[LEB]

ditto what everyone else has said - huge waves of good stuff to Grrl & Sarah et al but loads to you too.

[Suz]

Thanks so much for the update, Danae, but it's good to hear from you, too. I hope that you are doing well.

[anonymousey]

"Oh, and Danae? It's good to hear from you...even if it isn't a post about you. How very thoughtful of you to give us a bridge to grrl's happy news in the wake of such sorrow."

Ditto.

[Tanya]

Thank you so much for doing this, in the midst of your own heartache. Grrl's blessed to have you. (and so are we!)

[Emily]

Sending everyone my love and very excited it is nigh.

[Sandy]

Danae...seeing you post an update today has brought tears to my eyes. You are an above and beyond kind of friend. Thanks.

[Libby]

Thank you so much for the update Danae. It's good to hear things are moving right along for grrl.

I am also just a lurker, but I've been thinking about you and hoping that you pull through this difficult time.

All the best for you and grrl.

[MM]

Thanks for the update. Glad to see you posting again, even if your post isn't about you. Hoping things are ok.

[Simonne]

So Gefilte is being stubborn, hmmm? You know, we should have expected this. He is, after all, the son of Grrl :-) We have them all in our thoughts 24/7.

Danae - I was reading about your recent experience yesterday in your archives. I couldn't believe my eyes. You have been through a horrible time. Awfull. I am so sorry.

[Jen (yup, another one)]

Thanks, Danae. I was stunned that you would be doing the updating after all you've been through. You are selfless and kind (as is Grrrl, who better to receive the kindness?).

Best wishes to all of you!

[Ria]

Thank you, Danae.

Wishing you well -

[MaR]

Thanks for the update Danae! You are a good friend - to all of us!

[juliejulie]

Danae -

I just want to say ditto to what everyone else has said. You are amazing and we are all thinking of you.

[Amanda]

Thanks for keeping us posted, Danae. I hope you're doing ok. I had some post ER chocolate peanut butter ice cream today and thought of you.

[expat]

And towels, we need towels - did anyone remember to tell Grrl she'd need towels?

Danae, thank you so much for keeping us posted. I am so sorry for all you've been through.

[Cyd]

Thank you for the update on grrl, Danae. You are a friend to be treasured (and I'm quite sure she doesn't need us to point that out!).

Wishing you and yours a fountain of blessings after all you've been through...

[Kate]

To repeat what everyone else has said, thanks for keeping us updated, you are a real doll.

I also hope you are doing as ok as possible. (((HUGS)))

[Sally]

Thank you Danae
As with everyone else I am sending good thoughts to grrl & her family, and hoping that each day helps you and Mr. Danae to move forward in your life.
Sorry for your loss seems like such an inadequate thing to say - but it is heartfelt, and comes to you from the other side of the world - as someone has already said "I have thought of you more often than a total stranger should" - and I hope it is some small comfort to you and yours.
You are a classic example of a definition I saw recently "good friends are like precious jewels - difficult to find and impossible to replace"

[Kristin]

Thanks Danae. You truly are a special friend to Grrl. I know from experience how hard it is to do something for a friend who has a baby coming (even when you know it would kill you not to do something). I'm anxiously awaiting news about Grrl and Gefilte and I'm also praying for you.

[Simone]

When needed an update on you, Grrl obliged & now you return the favour to us with her. Thank you so much.
Thoughts & prayers with you both.

[Laura]

Thank you so much for keeping us updated. I keep checking both hers and your site every few minutes! Hmmm, maybe I should get my OWN life. Anyhow, thanks. I wouldn't want to miss anything!

[Lissie]

Hi Danae - YA lurker saying both THANKS for the update, and who has been thinking about you a lot, sending you prayers as you go through your own pain.

[dawn]

woohooo! danae I have been worried we would never see you post again. Thank you so much for updating us on grrrl and gilfilte.. I hope you and mr danae are doing ok and thanks so much for the update!! Good luck!
dawn in ky

[Menita]

Thanks so much for the update Danae. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you were holding up. You are such a good friend to do this in the wake of your own pain.
Now i'm off to boil water, as requested.

[Ally]

Thanks for keeping us updated. Boiling plenty of water.

Please take care of yourself.

[chris]

Thanks for the update.

I hope you are feeling well, also.

Take care.

[Lioness]

More importantly, WASH YOUR HANDS and scrub under the nails.

Much love is beng sent their way. And much love to you as well.

[Jessica]

Thanks for the updates! Hope you are recovering and are going to be back to posting soon. We missed you!!!

[Rachel]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You are a hero to post this, given the circumstances. R.

[terri c]

What everyone else has said. You are awesome and in my thoughts.

[Reprogirl]

Thank you for the news. Thinking of you too.

[Jo]

Oh, Danae. I just love you. I really do. It's a kind of love that's mixed in with awe, and a lot of other things.

What everyone else said: thanks for the news. I am thinking of you.

[susan]

Thinking of you, Danae.

Thanking you for your willingness to share your friendship with Grrl too.

[Kinneret]

Danae, you are a special woman. I hope you know you are in my thoughts frequently - hope you're hanging in there.

My best to you as well as to Grrl, Mr Grrl, Sarah and baby boy Gefilte Grrl when he arrives.

[Becki]

Thanks for the updates on Gefilte's progress into the world. I hope that Grrl gets to return the favor someday.

[MaggieO]

Hey Danae. I'm a long time lurker referred to your site by the Grrl. I hope that your recovery from the ordeal(s) you have been through is deep and that eventually you will find yourself in a place with other possibilities for the future. Goddess knows you and Grrl are kin in this department! Please know that even when I'm lurking, I imagine my hand resting gently on yours.
Bright Blessings on you and those you love. Keep the posts coming...

[Nors]

Thank you Danae, Grrl is very blessed to have you in her corner. Hope you are doing ok.

[Sarah V.]

Tell her that the next bit of the saga is going to be one hell of a lot better than passport control and waiting for suitcases. Scarier, true, and involving even more exhaustion than the average bout of jet lag, and lots messier. But still a whole lot better.

And for you..... I can't begin to imagine how bittersweet and difficult this must be for you, and I genuinely can't think of any appropriate words. Just hang on in there through the darkness and know that you won't be in this kind of pain forever.

[Lola]

It's wonderful to see you back, Danae. I've been thinking about you.

[unexplained]

Argh! I logged on as soon as the dog woke me up (6:30 AM CDT) and still no news... Continuing to send lots of love eastward...

[Stephanie]

woo hoo!!! Danae thanks for keeping us updated! I hope and pray here sometime soon Grrl can return the favor and give us updates for you!!! take care of yourself.

[Brandee]

How can I say anything different than anyone else?? I've been thinking of you often, hoping for you, and glad to see some words from you. I'm also anxiously waiting to hear that something wonderful has happened and so glad that you are the friend chosen to deliver the news to the internet masses.

[PJ]

Thanks for being our Grrl hotline link. Will you be charging the obligatory $3.99 a minute?

[OnTheFence]

Thanks for the update!

[Kitty]

Hi Danae, even though I only found you recently I have been wondering how you were doing after your last post. More hugs for you and please pass on hugs and lots of good wishes to Grrl and Sarah.

[Manuela]

As much as I appreciate you keeping us informed as to the status of Grrl, Sarah, Gefilte, et al... I also want to acknowledge how incredible it is for you to do this given your own life events as related in your last post. My heart continues to go out to you ALL over the next days and weeks...

[karla]

Thanks for the update. I can't help but think of you as well, and I am sending good thoughts your way also.

[Carrie]

*goodwishesgoodwishesgoodwishes*..

[KathyH]

Today is my birthday.

Today would be a good day.

[bec]

is there really no shower for grrl? am twitchy.

[SB]

I'm saying prayers for a healthy delivery for both Sarah and Baby boy Grrl. As you can imagine we are all sitting on the edges of our chairs waiting with bated breath for the birth story.
((((Hugs)))
and may i add, Danae, that you are a commendable friend, being here for Grrl during what I can only imagine is a raw point in your life. (((Hugs))) for you too.

[Wavery]

Adding to the run off of the river of comments to confirm that you are solid gold to be taking such good care of Grrl with your recent weeks.

[lindsay]

sunday morning here in BC. hope all is well with grrl, Gefilte and Sarah. speedy delivery wishes!

Best wishes to Grrl, Mr. Grrl, Gelfite Baby, Sarah, and you, Danae. Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on the proceedings!

I keep obsessively refreshing throughout the day to see if the much-anticipated post has been posted yet... but I get nothin'! I even checked the lunar schedule to see if that might affect things, but the full moon came and went on the 21st, apparently. So that's not going to hurry things up, though it may have gotten things started!

Anyway, thank you once again, Danae, and I'll keep checking in.

[Momofone]

Lets hope everyone is doing well and Sarah will soon be delivering Gefilte! Wishing for speedy and smooth delivery.

[Andrea]

I. am. going. nuts.

[VHMPrincess]

any bets on the hit count for today and yesterday?

[Emma]

obsessively refreshing ...

[Toni]

In agreement on the hit count for today...I've tried about 4 times myself...

Danae...you are wonderful for doing this. :)

[Erin]

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm holding out for tomorrow. Leo's rock.

[Jessica]

I've hit this site about 5 times myself - just today! I dread what tomorrow will bring if we do not have news...

[tracey]

Thank you so much for keeping us up to date with Grrl, Gefilte and Sarah. Checking from the southern hemisphere, starting to feel anxious. Hoping all is well.

Danae, heartfelt feelings for you too.

[Jo]

Ok, this is another sad, pitiful comment on myself. I DREAMT about Gefilte fish last night! Grrr! I can't stand the suspense!
