Our Little Break :)

Dear friend,

This is a little Good-Bye :)

Bill and I are going away with the kids for our winter break and we are sooo excited about it! It is going to be a great opportunity for us to have fun all together as a family and enjoy each other's company. We can't wait!! I will take pictures to share with you in 2009. I will be back here on the very first day of January of 2009. 

But before I go I want to say THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for your comments and e-mails regarding my last five long posts. You were extremely patient reading them all and that's something that I deeply appreciate. In these days where we are all doing one million things you had the patience to read my story and that's one of the most beautiful Christmas presents that I ever had. Thank you so much for being so wonderful!

And I wish you all my best in these busy days :)

Very Happy Holidays for you and your loved ones!

And see you on January 1st of 2009!!!!

Your friend Elsita :)

Of course you will be missed my dear friend but I hope you have a wonderful vacation with your family and that you get tons of rest to start the new year in the best shape you can be in. It has been a wonderful year and I am so looking forward to the next one. I wish all the blessings of the world on you and hugs bigger than the universe.

Thanks for sharing your very personal and private story with all of us in cyberland. I know from your art that you are truly fearless. I was sad that you feel responsible even a little for your sisters illness, schizophrenia is a brain illness and nothing except medication, maybe psychotherapy and time can improve it. Don't be afraid to re-connect with your sister, there is a lot of water under the bridge and things could be much different now. Start with an apology and see how she responds, if it's a positive response take it from there. You never know what may happen.

Thank you so much for sharing your Sister's tale with us!
I wish you a very happy time for the Holidays!

My dearest Elsa
Altought I have not made any comments (I fell so shy on blogland, different from my flickr images...), I would like you to know that I have read all your story and visited the sister project. I have not had a sister of my own, but today I do have one, my sister in law, a schizophrenic woman, just like Ileana. Sometimes I am amazed by the coincidences of life (do they actually exist?)and the crossing paths between all human beings... I wish you all the best for this upcoming year. LOVE, ART, ART, LOVE. LOVE AND ART IS ALL WE NEED. com amor, Maria and family.

[Ursula Shaw]

Have a great holiday and all the best for the New Year!

[Annie]

Merry Christmas. I hope you're having a good break!

Thanks for sharing the story about your sister. You've gone through a lot more with you family than I have, maybe more than I ever will, and it's given me a lot to think about.

Cheers, and happy new year!
