    Update and Question

    in INTRODUCE YOURSELF!

    Posted

    Gosh, Sawyer I don't have any answers to your questions either :cry: but someone should be along to either answer your questions or at least share experiences that may be similar.

    We do have a section: to ask a physician..do check that area out because that may be a good way to go, too. I *think* I have the name incorrect but if you look around the index you will find what I am referring to.

    Many prayers for some answers, Sawyer and I know how difficult the *waiting* can be.

    Your mom is so lucky to have you!

    What I remember Christmas

    Your post brought tears to my eyes..thank you for sharing your memories with us.

    As most of you know, I am *here* because my mom has lung cancer and presently, things are *stable* and I thankful every single day that she is doing so well.

    Lost my dad to colon cancer and I, too, have beautiful sweet memories of him and so so many involve the holidays. I come from an Italian family that is steeped in tradition and much of that tradition revolves around FOOD! Homemade pasta and every year, about two weeks before Thanksgiving, my dad would make lupini beans. They are a bean that is cooked and then cured in salt water and it takes a good two weeks before they are ready to eat. They are served cold and have a tough outter skin that you pop off (similar to eating a sunflower seed) anyway, he would always make them and Thanksgiving and Christmas just wasn't the same without them so my brother now makes them :)

    He was always in the kitchen with my mom helping her cook. I can see him so clearly, smiling and wearing his red santa hat, sipping a glass of wine and mixing and tasting.

    Hugs and more hugs to you.

    Oh, Pat...my heart just sank when I read the title of your post. I wish there were some magic words that I could write that would help ease the profound heartache you feel, but sadly there isn't anything that I could say that would help.

    I do know that from the very first moment that I came *here* you reached out and were right there comforting me....surounding me with sage advice and loving prayers. You listened patiently to me go on and ON about the fire and you will never know how healing that was for me..it was one of the few times I *let it all out*

    YOU, are a dear, dear person and are in my prayers nightly. I am so, so sorry you are hurting, Pat.

    I truly have no idea what emotions you are feeling but THIS I DO KNOW...walk through them and when you come out on the other side...we will be here for you..and I will be one of the first in line.

    Hugs and love,

    Libby

    Oh ((((Kathleen)))) I read this when you first posted and just didn't know what to say...I, too, went through the *what ifs* when my dad died. Honestly, it does not help..we can't change anything, Kathleen. I don't have any magic way of telling you how to not think about the what ifs but really do try to focus on the beautiful memories you have.

    Gentle hugs

    Libby
