  4. Cherry chip cake with cream cheese frosting. My mom made it special for my birthday every year. Now I am lucky enough to have a loving husband who makes it for me.

    Good to see your post, Fay. Keeping you in my thoughts. Sending you best wishes that you are feeling better soon. All my best.
  7. May peace and comfort be with Gaye during this difficult time. Dean was such an inspiration. I just happened to be talking about him to a friend this weekend, about his courage and fight. I was so saddened to return to see this post. My heart goes out to his family.
  8. I am so very saddened to read this post. My heart goes out to Beth and her family.
  9. I too didn't know lung cancer was possible in children. So sad. My heart and prayers go out to him and his family.
  10. Your welcome, Don. My mom saw Dr. West for a second opinion and we all thought he was great...very well informed. He is the one who is moderating the seminar.
  11. Swedish Cancer Institute (affiliated with Fred Hutchison Cancer Center and located in Seattle, WA) is a leading treatment facility for cancer. They are going to be offering a free seminar about Lung Cancer, including risk factors, screening and latest treatment options. It is Monday, September 26, 6:30 - 8pm or Wednesday, November 9, noon - 1pm. You can register by calling (206) 386-2502. They also have some good information on lung cancer on their website: http://www.swedish.org/body.cfm?id=117
  12. I had a piece of c#ap Mustang II...no, not the cool Mustang of '67...but a 1976. My dad and I went and looked at it...it had a rod loose in the engine and rattled horribly. But for some reason I had to have it. So I drove home with it...only to have the transmission blow about 3 weeks later (drove around with blue smoke shooting out the exhaust) and then the engine went about a month later. I did put a new stereo and cheap speakers in it and cranked my music. For some reason I felt so cool driving it. I don't miss that thing!
  13. That happened with my mom...she slept in her chair for over a week. But my mom could fall asleep standing. Thinking of you and your mom.
  14. Hmmm...I have this red wig that I love to wear on occasion (naturally I am a dishwater blonde), but I am definitely going to have to say hats. I wear them almost everyday. TPBM...Is a singer.
  15. I am getting better but...always putting everyone's needs before my own and rushing through things and not stopping to take the time and enjoy them.

    Year One

    My Dear Denise, I have been thinking of you knowing the anniversary was coming up. You are an amazing woman and you continue to make your mom proud. I just went back and read my journal entries...from her diagnosis, through the "battle", her death and how I coped afterwards. I can say I am much healthier now, but miss her so badly. I will never ever get over her loss. Please know you are never alone...I feel like fate gave me you to help see me through this dark time. And I am here to see you through too. Have a wonderful trip to Ireland. I will be thinking of you (as I always do). My love to you.
  17. What a wonderful man your pop was. Cherish those loving memories. I too feel the same way about my mom. Thanks for sharing...it brought a tear to my eye. All my best.
  18. Adding my prayers that they are both home soon.
  19. Geri, Thinking of you and hoping you feel better soon.
  20. Thanks Denise! Thinking of you dear Andrea and your sweet mother. Hugs to you.
  21. Don, I am sorry to hear about Lucie's PET results. You both are fighters and there are options. Lucie has had success with the other treatments, so I am keeping her in my thoughts for the same with the Navelbine/Gemzar. All my best to you both.
  22. I always thought my mom would be here to watch her beloved granddaughter (grandma's girl) grow up. I always thought I would have my mom's companionship until I was older. I always thought I was the luckiest person to have such a loving mother. I always thought I would never survive if I lost my mom, but I am surviving and I know she would be proud of me.

    Scared...

    Dear Val, I feel your pain. My mom and I spent so much time together, talking, laughing and loving. She nurtured me like no one else. When she passed away I felt lost...as if out to sea. I felt so very alone. I didn't know who was going to take care of me, who was going to help guide me in my daughter's upbringing. I too have a wonderful husband, but I still felt so lost. It has been 16 months and just now am I starting to feel like I can do it. I truly believe I had to take one day at a time. You have support through all of us here, so reach out. I know no one can take the place of our beloved mothers, but it helps to no that people do care. PM if you ever want to chat. Take care.
  24. Happy Birthday to David! Then a hug to you Becky. What a wonderful and loving gesture to plant a tree in a place David loved so dearly. My heart goes out to you. I know the pain is so difficult. Please remember we are all here for you. All my best to you.
  25. Karma, sending my good thoughts for your mom. All my best to you.
