    Prayer Request from Me

    in HOPE

    Posted

    Prayers have been headed your way ever since Fred and I first heard about Tomas. You ARE headed to the right place. If ANYONE ANYWHERE can do what needs to be done the best it can be done it is NIH. We will wait to hear from you and take it from there. In the meantime - I know you know all about taking deep breaths, right? And you know everyone here is great at carrying each others' worries. Recall the carrying the pork chop? Well, I've got yours, dear girl!

    Love,

    Kasey

    I'm so sorry, Nicole. You were strong support to your mother these years we've come to know you. Hope the many wonderful memories help see you through these dark days.

    How Do I "Live" Again?

    in CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTER

    Ah Jean........don't know what to say. I look at your avatar and see the joy in both your faces and I hurt for you. I have not lost Fred, but I weep whenever the thought of living without him enters my mind. I have no doubt, I could not move on and ever be happy again. From what I hear, it is important to keep busy ~ VERY busy. Not sure I would even want to. So I have nothing of any comfort to offer you, just wanted you to not feel so lonely tonight. Wish I could help. Hope you know there are those here to listen and who truly understand ~ some of us to some extent anyhow. Others walking in your shoes get it even more. Just feel the need to say - so sorry.

    Oh Ellie, how moving a sentiment. I'm sure you made Christmas the absolute best it could be for all - especially for your brother-in-law.

    Hope the holidays were wonderful to you. Think of you often - especially during college football season. Some day.........................I'm gonna meet you in the flesh! Was the flower business busy during the holidays?

    Love,

    Of course you know Fred and I could not be any more thrilled for you!!!!! Hope we all can get together soon. Last we saw you I was rather under the weather. Next time - everyone healthy and happy and eating a great lunch in KoP!!

    Love and HAPPY NEW YEAR,

    Oh Denise, so sorry to hear of all your poor mom's woes. Enough is enough, I say. Let's rule out lc ~ what do you say. Seems as if she has enough to contend with without adding that to the mix. Here's hoping the scans and any further testing prove nothing new and that she can begin to feel better. You, poor girl, have had more than a plateful here of late. With all you have, you could be a full menu caterer. Enough is inough for you as well.

    On Christmas Day, It Will Be 9 Months

    Love back to you, Barbara. I cannot begin to imagine the void in your life. How have you been doing physically? You were dealing with issues last you were here. Wish words could make things better. However, just dont' know what they would be. You are special to all of us here, and I know I speak for many when I say we wish we could help you through this difficult time.

    Love,

    Kasey

    Inspiration from the Past

    in HOPE

    Posted

    Each year I love to bring back this post from such a very special member who used to grace our boards. If you did not know DeanCarl, you missed one remarkable man. Each year it brings me comfort to read, once again, his inspirational words to all of us.

    When I was a kid I used to give my folks a Christmas wish list each year. We weren’t rich by any means, but some how some way a lot of what I wished for I got. So, in that spirit, here’s my “wish list” for this Christmas:

    My Christmas Wish List.

    For the newly diagnosed and those who have recently had a recurrence: May your fears be calmed, your strength renewed and your hopes be realized.

    For those in the midst of the battle: May your determination never falter and your days be filled with victory.

    For those who have lost loved ones: May your memories bring joy rather than pain and your days be filled with the spirit of those who have touched your lives.

    For those in remission: May your joy fill the lives of those around you and be a light for those that follow.

    For those who are nearing the end of the fight: May you find the courage to walk the path you are on and to see the glory in each new day.

    And for everyone who has so touched my life since I found this place: Whatever your situation, where ever you are may this Christmas season bring you all that your heart desires.

    Dean

    I hear you loud and clear, Annette. Good for you for speaking your mind ~ sometimes temporary insanity can be used for a good cause. You are right about these people NOT having cancer and having NO idea whatsoever what we, who do, go through. No reason to wait for the next available day. Darn straight you can go whatever time they open and hear what they have to say. I hope she is right and all looks good. Sit down, put your feet up, drink a cup of tea/coffee/ spirits of some sort ~ whatever ~ and just be for a while. Can't wait to hear what you hear tomorrow. Let us know ASAP.

    I'm so happy you finally have something to be happy about! I know only too well what you mean by never being off the hook though. Sometimes I think ~ how terrible to live with this over one's head ALL the time ~ but then I realize I'm here to worry about it, so that is all good. Great to hear from you ~ sorry about all going on in your life that is problematic.

    Oh so sorry, Ann. I just don't know why I didn't realize until this post that Dennis was only 50!!! Why that's just a baby! This disease is just plain evil. Good good thoughts are heading to Florida, Ann. Again ~ sorry just isn't quite enough to say.

    in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

    Posted

    Hi Cody,

    I do not have the info you request, but wnted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. You see, I met your mother a few times. We have a group from the Phila/surrounding area who belong to this site and meet occasionally in King of Prussia for lunch. Your mother had lunch with us a few times. In fact, we even met your uncle too. She brought hom along one time. I was deply saddened when I heard about your mom. She had done well for so long I was betting she would be able to be one of the lucky ones to beat this terrible disease.

    I will research a bit to see if I can figure out the answer to your question. In the meantime, know your mother was so loved here and was inspirational to many of us. Bless you and your family - my thoughts and sympathy to you all. Good luck with your project.

    Kasey
