Beth, I am praying for you and your husband. Cherish these days. You are so blessed to have a wonderful husband. I feel your pain. I know this is pure torture on your heart. Hang in there. God bless you, Nancy C

I am having a hard day. I lost my brother, Ron, 41 years old on Oct 21. He died in his sleep. He was epiletic but recently had been weaned off his meds, after taking them for 25 years??? He lived a very normal life, graduated from college and was upper management for 17 Dollar General stores in Iowa. I am so upset. I just lost Mike to LC in June, actually June 21st. Why does God take 2 very important people from me?? Ron was my backbone while Mike was ill. He was always there for me. Now, I am watching my mother want to curl up and die. I don't understand any of this. I know God is good and I love him, but this makes me ask why??? God bless,Nancy

What a wonderful picture of your son and his wife. Treasured memories. I am late responding to this. Sorry, it has been a whirlwind in my life this last week. I do so hope Brian gets some results from his new meds and you have many more days of memories. God bless you both. I am praying for you. God bless,Nancy C

..of Don really being gone is why you were crying......not the bike. You have suffered a great loss and looking at the bike as it left makes you realize it's final. God bless you, Nancy C

Peggy, thank you. With now having to cope with Mike's death 4 months ago and now my brother's recent death, this is something I certainly can do to help me. Grieving for 2 people is totally exhausting me. Along with the fact, that I am worried sick about my 75 year old mother. She shouldn't have to lose a child. God bless, Nancy C

Joyce, I am so very sorry. This tears at my heart. I wish you comfort and peace. You and your family are in my prayers.Nancy C

I am so sorry your trip wasn't the best. But, do know, Brian, like Mike, mad it to a very important event. And that takes an enormous amount of energy as ill as he is. What an amazing man. God bless him, love him, kiss him, hold him. Nancy C

I am so glad to hear the good news. God bless,Nancy C

Thanks to all of you. My main concern is my 75 year old mother. She sat on the floor when she heard the news, and cried there for an hour. It was so pitiful. This brother, Ron was a twin. And the youngest. My mother always said the twins were miracles. My other brother is with my Dad in Texas. He had to tell my dad. I guess my dad is so shakened. I have 5 brothers and 1 sister. So we are a close big family. We will need each other now more than ever. I worry about my mother.

My 41 year old brother was found dead in his bed this morning. Exactly 4 months from the day Mike died. Why does this have to happen? I loved him so much, he was my buddy. He was the baby of the family and a twin. I am lost. Nancy C

Toni, my husband had Avastin for several months along with his chemo. It is approved for colon cancer(FDA) but not yet for other cancers. But, Mike's oncologist said many studies were being done and using it decreases or blocks the blood supply to the cancer tumors. So he did give it a try on Mike. However, Mike's cancer was very advanced and his outcome was not positive. Give it all you've got and keep fighting. God bless you and your husband, Nancy C

Thanks so much for the update!! I know how important being at the wedding is. It is a goal my Mike wanted to do, and he did. Thank God that going to the wedding put spark in Brian's eyes! God bless them both, Nancy C

My husband only had one week of hospice before dying. They were absolutely wonderful. I just wish they had been involved sooner in Mike's care. But, it is hard to adjust to the fact this "is for comfort" for the end of life. God bless,Nancy C

Don, I am so very happy you have good news!! Keep up the good health! God bless,Nancy C

Thanks to all of you!!! I just got back in town from Vegas!! Went for my 50th on Oct 12th--so I just saw this post. Thank all of you. You are all special loving people. God bless,Nancy C

Beth, I am so sorry...I just got back in town yesterday. I just saw this post. I am going to pm you. God bless,Nancy C

Bunny, thanks for the update. It hurts me so that they are going thru this absolute hell with this disease.God bless them. Nancy C

Katie, of course your cat is a major loss in your life. Animals give us huge pleasure and love. I am sorry for your loss. Life hands us many difficulties and we handle them...but not without hurt. Take care,Nancy C

I do so understand. I feel I am still in the dark world, although I have traveled 2x since Mike died June 21. I feel like I am going thru the motions, but not really living yet. I think it is very hard to see ahead and ever enjoy life again, but I know it will eventually come. Some days I don't want to get out of bed. But, I have to. The pain in our hearts for our loved ones is unbearable at times. I just pray I can do this. God bless,Nancy C

Pat, I just pmed you. You are both in my prayers. God bless,Nancy C

it was great to hear from you. hang in there!! god bless,nancy c

I love you picture!!!!!!!! and your head!!!!!!!! God bless you,Nancy

I know what you mean. Some days I can handle so much more---and other days I can't. It just depends on the amount of grief I am dealing with at that time. It is so unpredictable.Take one day at a time. God bless,Nancy C

I am so sorry you are going thru this difficult time with your mother. But do take care of yourself. God bless you, Nancy C
