Welcome Back, Don!!
What a great picture of you and your son.
Now, where is the parasailing picture? hmm??

Today would have been my Moms 70th birthday.
All these 1st "holidays" without her seem to be bombarding me right now. Mothers day, her birthday and tomorrow would have been her and my stepdads anniversary.
For the first time in 39 years I can't call her and wish her a happy birthday.
Happy Birthday Mom. I really miss you today.

What great words of wisdom from your friend, Jodi.
I know how difficult it is (from a caregiver/daughter point of view) waiting for the results....hoping Thursday comes quickly!
Keep the hope alive and I'll continue to pray for you.

Oh Kelly...I was just checking your last post regarding hospice to see if there was an update when I saw this.
I'm am just so sorry. Your Mom fought such a fight. And you were right there along side her fighting just as hard.
There is nothing that can make you feel better right now. Just take it one moment at a time and get through the next few very difficult days and then we will be here for you when you need us.
Praying for all of you.
Warm Hugs,
Melinda

I was just wondering about Pat (patkid).
It has been so long since I've seen a post from her.
If you see this, please let us know how you're doing Pat.

I get up at 5:15 during the week.
On the weekends, it all depends but usually up by 7:00.

The first Mothers Day without Mom......it really, really hurts deep down inside your heart and soul doesn't it?
You are not alone.

Congratulations!!!!
She is adorable and I love her name.

I hope you have a nice trip Nick

That was cute

I'm not sure how I missed this one either....I'm so shocked.
Geri, you WILL beat this. I have no doubt.
Hoping to hear good news from your appt yesterday!!

I can't think of a better way to spend Mothers Day than with all those that completely understand..........
I'll be thinking of ALL of you on Sunday.

Kelly,
I keep typing and erasing because I know how difficult all this must be for you. There is just no words that seem appropriate. I'm so sorry that it is time for hospice to enter your lives. I'm thinking of all of you and saying a prayer for peace and strength for you, your Mom and family.
Warm Hugs,
Melinda

I only fill it up when absolutely necessary.
I've found out you CAN go below the red line and even past the indicator that tells me how many miles I have left before I run out. (Knocking on wood over here

Oh, I can feel your pain!!
Everywhere you look you see Mothers day being advertised.
I went to Walmart and accidentally walked down the Mothers Day card aisle, didn't make it out without crying.
I am really dreading Sunday. I want to fast forward to Monday too. They say it will get easier for us Kim....one day at a time I guess.

Congratulations Rich!!
Here is to another 5000.....

I suggest asking your hospice nurse for a pamplet called "Gone From My Sight." It is full of information that will be very helpful for you.
Here is what it says regarding eating....
Food is the way we energize our body. It is the means by which we keep our body going, moving, alive. We eat to live. When a body is preparing to die, it is perfectly natural that eating should stop. This is one of the hardest concepts for a family to accept.
There is a gradual decrease in eating habits. Nothing tastes good. Cravings come and go. Liquids are preferred to solids. "I just don't feel like eating." Meats are the first to go, followed by vegetables and other hard to digest foods until even soft foods are no longer eaten.
It is okay not to eat. A different kind of energy is needed now. A spiritual energy, not a physical one, will sustain from here on.
I hope this helps just a little bit. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. Try to stay strong and know I am thinking of you and your family.
Warm Hugs,
Melinda

I won't even tell you what I refer to my stepdads "friend" as.....I don't think the system would allow me to anyway
I think you should sit down with both your Dad and Becky and explain how you feel. She needs to know how delicate of a subject this is. Maybe all of you could come up with a title that makes everyone happy.

What a wonderful idea to go to the restaurant where you and Earl shared such happy memories. I'll toast a glass of wine for both of you tonight. Thinking of you, Ginnie....
Warm Hugs,
Melinda
