Well, tarnation! I don't know a darn thing about the procedure, but I'm going to go and register a complaint with whoever is in charge! I guess I'll start pestering God with prayers that this procedure will be gentle on you.
Crap indeed. Sorry for the bummer news.

Grateful to doctors and feeling better, and those magical little pills called 'antibiotics'. Good stuff.
Grateful for more good news on DH's possible job. I finished a novenna to St. Jude on Sunday, and Matt was called before 8:00 am Monday to tentatively offer him his job back. They have to officially post it for 5 days, but hopefully we will be back in business next Monday.
Grateful for hope, and a lifting of the spirits!

Such a beautiful post. I'm glad you and the girls can laugh sometimes. I bet he likes that. I'm amazed with what you have managed to accomplish in the last 11 months, imagining how very hard each step must have been. The girls are so lucky to have you.
Prayers for you all tonight.

So hard...

I really do get it. I can't change my picture (though I've changed my hairstyle twice since then), because that picture meant/means something. I sometimes think of editing my signature, but I honestly use it to reference times...answer questions my brothers and I have.
Your dad was so much more than the disease that stole him away from you. Soon you will be able to get past the cancer part and remember all else that was good. I struggle almost every day, but know that I need to keep going. One day at a time for now.
I'm rambling...but I do understand. Prayers for you tonight.

I just hate that this happened. She was just so young! I know that your being there for her at the end was such a comfort. My prayers are with you and your family. We are here for you...we understand.

Not only do I have jumper cables, I have one of those nifty boxes that will jump start a car all by itself. Not sure why I have both...

DH has been really intrested in this show---has it TiVo'd for tonight. Somehow we completely missed the LC angle. Thanks for the heads up!

Grateful to the wonderful example of MLK and the day off.
MOST grateful for the news that DH may have a job! Two months unemployed is too much. Tentatively celebrating...

Thanks so much for remembering.
I always think of Jimmy Buffet's quote, in a song about the loss of his grandfather: "And though I cried I was so proud/ To have loved a man so rare..." I'm so blessed to have been my mother's daughter, and so proud to have known so many of our fallen warriors.

Happy birthday Harry! Grateful for friends at church and work who keep me going. Hopefully I do the same for them. Grateful for a sunny Sunday.

It's Over.

Oh, I'm just so sorry. I know that the speed of his passing is a horrible shock. I'm sure that he knows now about your boy. I'm sure he's even met your little ones.
Prayers for stength and peace for you and your family.

Oh, Jackie, how do you pick the quotes we need the most? Very sad today, going to the funeral of a wonderful woman/single mom who died of LC and left behind three young children. I'm trying to find the light today, and struggling.
So grateful for the people who lift us up when we need it most.

I've wondered so much about my 'other Kelly'. I am just so sorry to hear this news. I'm glad that you have had some healing, and that your mom had a peaceful passing. We are here whenever you need us. Sometimes helping others is such an important part of the healing process, and I'm sure you have a lot to teach us as well.

Grateful for a community at school/work that pulls together to support those who need it most.
Grateful for a daughter who is going to the Rosary for my friend tonight with me. DH couldn't go, and I didn't want to be alone. That kid is pretty cool!

This morning a dear friend Lisa, who has children at my school, died of cancer. I knew this was coming, it is really a blessed relief for this warrior woman, but I just feel ripped in two. Her 4th and 7th graders (7th grader is in my class) are at school today. Her 16-year old daughter, a former student of mine, went to school, too.
I feel like, after all I have been through, I should know what to say or do for the boys. I just feel impotent in my grief today. I hugged the younger boy, told him that I loved him and his family and that I was praying for him. Thankfully, as a Catholic school, we can pray openly and talk about it. I took my 6th grade class over to the church and we prayed for the family together. I'm trying to make today as "normal" as possible for the older boy, but be compassionate and loving as well.
I want to help the boys, and be strong for them, and be the person they need today. I also want to cry at the drop of a hat. I loved and admired Lisa. Mom loved and admired her, too. I think Mom met her at the gates of heaven today with a party hat, and a hug. I love this family, and these kids, and I've walked this road with them for the past 6 years. When my mom died, the boy came to the funeral, and the 16-year old wrote me the most beautiful letter--one that I kept and still look at often (she had a GREAT English teacher, I tell you
).I feel lost, but I feel like I need to be together for the boys. I just needed to come somewhere and say that. I'm so glad you guys are here.

What a blessing for Carol to have you for a friend. I know you have been a real source of strength for her, even though that had to be tough at times.
Carol and her family are in my prayers.

Oh, man, do I understand. Seven months later, and there are still times I feel that way. I can tell you that it does get...not easier, but maybe more managable. I remember when I couldn't take a breath without feeling the crushing grief. Then I could go moments, then maybe hours. I can sometimes get through a whole day, not without thinking about it, but without being crippled by it.
Your love for your dad is (not was) so strong, that of course your grief is equally strong. He helped you build a strong foundation in your life, and you WILL be OK. I think going to a counsellor is a great idea, if you are comfortable with that. I get a great deal of help from a grief group aimed at my kids, but the adult portion helps me, too. Also, 'letting it all out' here has been very therapeutic for me as well. We are here for you, and we do get it.

Grateful for Wednesday--half way to Friday!
Grateful for family and friends.
Grateful for a DH who helps get so many things done during the day--the 'upside' of unemployment.
Grateful for a Mom who built a faith in me that I fall back on time and time again for comfort and strength.
