    Dreams

    I've also had many dreams of my daddy since he passed. In my most recent dream he was back. He had passed, but he was back. We were at an amusement park with all the kids (as he so loved to do) and I was sitting with him asking him questions that I wished I'd asked him before he left. We were having such a good time that I wish I wouldn't have woken up.
  2. Terri, I'm still trying to catch up on everyone. I'm so sorry to read about Bill. You're in my prayers.
  3. Hi Rich, Maybe it's hard for you to understand why you are still, but I'm glad you are. You have been a true inspiration to this site. I thought after my daddy passed I didn't would never be able to post again. Then I realized that as much as I hate this disease, there are many people here who are fighting. People that I have grown to really care about. How can I not check in from time to time and see how they are doing. And like many, I am praying for you and that you will continue to be here and doing well when I do check in. God Bless you.
  4. Nick, I just wanted to say congratulations. I know it's not going to be the same without your mom here. My little one is 2 and his "Graddy" is now watching him from Heaven. It saddens me so badly because he will say or do something that I can just picture my daddy responding to. It's hard to think about how much they are both missing out on. On the flip side of that, he is a part of my daddy that (God be willing) will always be with me. He reminds me so much of my daddy. People tell me how much he not only looks like him, but acts like him. I even gave him my daddy's middle name and he has his initials. I know how you feel. Until my daddy got sick I was thinking about possibly having another child, but not now. I'm just thankful for the 2 that I have that are a part of my daddy. I hope you will find comfort in that as well. You are going to be a great daddy and have many wonderful stories about your mom to share with your little one. I did a scrapbook of my daddy's life to give to my kids one day. Just an idea. May God Bless you.
  5. I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Even though I haven't been posting, I think about you often and try to read and catch up on how everyone is doing. I have been struggling so badly dealing with missing my daddy and it gets harder and harder each day to carry on. Since then, my cousin passed and now last week we burried my uncle. Is it ever going to end? Please know that I continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
  6. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Susan for keeping you all posted on my Daddy, and say a big thank you for all of your support and prayers over the short time I've been part of this group. I'm not really sure how to put things in words to describe how much pain I am. And there's nothing that can be done to fix it. It just gets worse because I miss him more and more each day. I've lost a HUGE part of my life and I don't know how to fill this empty hole in my heart. I just want to curl up in a ball and shut the whole world out, but I can't because my husband and children need me and I do love them so very much. However, I don't feel like I can bring them any happiness because (as much as I want to be for them), I'm not happy. Everything happened so fast that it doesn't make sense. Maybe someday I'll be able to talk about it more, but for now I try not to because I just break down. Now, on top of trying to get through each day, tomorrow I'm going to a memorial service for my cousin who was killed on his motorcycle on Sunday. My poor Aunt. First her brother, than less than 3 weeks later, her son. I don't know how much more my family can handle. Please say a prayer for us. I hope this is making sense. One day I hope to have the strength to actively join back in to the group, until then please know that you all continue to be in my prayers. Thank you and God Bless.
  7. I feel exactly the same way you do. I research and research because I want so badly to fix everything. Sometimes I feel like I'm in that episode of Tom and Jerry where the water kept coming out of different holes each time he sealed one up. It is so hard to be happy. One thing you and I have in common is that we have little ones that need us and probably don't really understand what is going on. I have been NO good to them since my dad was diagnosed. I just got back from taking them away for a few days. I stayed pretty close to home (in case my dad needed me), but I devoted those few days to them. Yeah, it was hard to be happy, but I did my best for them. My dad loves them very much and he wants them to be happy too. Try to stay positive. There was some good news in the results, try to focus on that. Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family. P.S. GREAT job on the RFL!!! That does deserve celebrating.
  8. Connie, That is amazing poem, thank you so much for sharing. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God Bless you.
  9. I'm so sorry for everything you are dealing with right now. I know how tough it is. When my dad was first diagnosed I too felt like the sky was falling. Then I found this site and all of the wonderful people here. I have 3 siblings and at first all they they did was try to prepare me for the worst. Now I have found so much hope here and stories I could share. I now have 2 of my siblings helping to give my Dad hope. We all have our way of dealing with things. It does take time though to get passed the shock and start to figure out how to win the battle. I pray that all of that starts to get a little clearer for you and your family once you get the results. Hang in there.
  10. Hi Rod, Welcome. I'm so sorry to hear about your news. Congratulations on quiting smoking! You have such a positive attitude and a warm heart. You sound like my dad, more worried about the kids than your self. What great dads!!! And you are needed so much! I pray that you DO get to celebrate your 80th birthday with your kids and grandkids. Hang in there.
  11. snoopyfn- we kind of heard the same thing. My mom asked if my dad quit now would he live and the doctor said no. However, just like wealthy said, I beleive that having an aggressive doctor is key and I don't feel we have one. I also agree with faith being a huge factor. Because only the good Lord does know. Thanks again to everyone for sharing their experiences.
  12. wiesia- your family does sound amazing! Randy- Yoy are amazing. Thank you so much for all you do for us!
  13. Wow. Thank you all for the replies. I really haven't seen many discussions on this matter so I was hesitant on asking it. I don't smoke, but both of my parents do. I would never judge anyone on that. Especially if you started way back when we didn't know the things we do now. I grew up around second hand smoke because it wasn't a big deal then. Now, I am like tiredmom959 and ask my parents not to smoke around my kids. Shelley, you did not ruffle my feathers. Thanks for the info. Ursol, I agree with you. Smoking does cause lung cancer, but so do other things. My dad also worked around oil burner furnaces most of his life. So which one actually caused it? Perhaps both. Ernie, I always value your insight. My dad has been fighting a disease for about 10 years now called Myastheniagravis. It does effect the immune system. About a year before he was diagnosed he decided he didn't need his medication for the disease anymore. As a result it was difficult for him to chew so eating and getting his vitamins and nutrients was a challenge. I keep beating myself up thinking about why I didn't pay more attention. I wish I knew then what I know now and I would have at least made sure he knew what vitamins and supplements he should have been taking. Perhpas we wouldn't be here now??? Who knows. pewjumper-I admire you for the efforts you are making in quiting. I know it must be tough. You're right it has to be your decission because you are the only one that can make it happen. I would never think try to push my dad to do it because I'm not in his shoes. Keep it up, you can do it!! It's true "old habits are hard to break".
  14. Hi and welcome. My dad's most noticed symptoms were persistant cough and coughing up blood. He was also having pain in his arm and losing some weight. I pray that it turns out to be nothing, but please go and find out. The sooner the better. Sending positive thoughts.
  15. welcome and thank your for sharing your story and so much hope!
