  1. Your mom is in my prayers everynite. Try hard to make sure someone is always with her now.
  2. Dolly, I sure don't have the words of wisdom but I can say that it has been 7 months since I lost Buddy and it has not been easy. I have tried to keep myself very busy as my family and friends have been extremely helpful. Even with all of this help, one is alone with one's thoughts sometimes more than we need to be. Sometimes I sit and think of all the great times we had. How fast life goes by. Tears come but they are not as bad as they use to be. Sadness is hard to get through but we do somehow. I am just glad it was me left here for I know Buddy would have had a worse time being left then me and that does help a little knowing the good Lord knew what he was doing.. Sometimes I talk to him and sure wish he could answer. Sometimes it is like he was never here. Like it was one big dream that past life. I guess if it wasn't for our son I might just think that. These next few months will be hard and lonely no matter how many people are around you but know that we widows/widowers are here and know exactly how you feel. God Bless
  3. Dolly, I just saw this post. Am so very sorry for your loss. If I can help you in anyway, please let me know.
  4. Renee, am so very sorry for the loss of Scott. If I can help you in anyway, please let me know. The months ahead will be hard but durable.
  5. I am here, I have been coming on but have not posted for a while. I haven't posted because I just don't know what to say anymore. I am at a loss for words, yes, me lost for words. I haven't even had words enough to ask Ry for a hall pass. I noticed that in the past I had posted over 1600 posts and now I am at a loss for words. I just read about BobMc and my heart did a flip flop again. Paddy, I read about your husband trying to get Iressa and that really has made me mad. I can't understand why our country, as big and rich as it is, can't get meds to people in need and who allow meds to cost so much that one cannot afford to try and live. If I were you Paddy, i would contact the maker of Iressa and ask for them free Iressa or at a very small charge that you can afford for your love. I gave Buddy's Iressa back to his onc dr and he was going to give them to someone who could not afford the cost. I had a three mo supply. Now I wish I had them for your husband. My dear Jane, I know where you are mentally for I have not been able myself to leave the grieving stage this time. All the past times, mom, dad, brother, sister, friends, - - I made it through those, but this one is different. I want so bad for time to go back for just a minute or two again but know that cannot happen. I want to just feel his arms around me one more time and his telling me how much he loves me. I know you are on that same boat with me. We both know the way off this boat but for some reason we are not ready to leave. I miss my Buddy so very much. I try hard everyday to keep myself busy but am constantly thinking of him. I know it will take a very long long time for me to be able to accept his death for it has only been 7 months as of yesterday. Some days it feels like he just left me and other times like he was never here. Like it was some sort of a dream those 46 years plus five. I know and you know we will make it through this life until the good Lord decides our time is up too. Bruce, get yourself out of the hospital and back on your feet. Chat time is tomorrow nite. Thanks for the e-mail. You let me worry about you, not you about me.. Dean Carl, know that you are constantly in my prayers. I miss hearing from you on board. You are one of my KNIGHTS IN SHINNING ARMOR. FayA, I don't need flowers, just you as a friend is all I need.

Don't worry about me, I will make it till my time is up.....after all, I have all of you and who could ask for anything more. Till I post again, know I am reading here often, and with all my heart, love each and everyone of you.

    Bruce, As I am always one day late anymore, I have no idea what this is about but if one does not like a post, more on to another. Love thy neighbor as one would want to be loved thyself. My motto of the day....love to alllllll....
  11. Sharon, I guess that is why he has not been feeling up to par lately. I pray that there will be another chemo that will be available for him.

    The Long Road Home....

    Ann, Oh, I can only imagine how hard it was at first but also can kind of feel the relief you are feeling now because you did something that has been on you mind to do but couldn't make yourself do till now. Am glad you feel like you can move on. I am not at that point as yet but know it is ahead somewhere. Good for you...
  13. Renee, so very sorry Scott is having such a terrible time. Have you someone helping you beings he is not walking? I hope the pain goes away. Why aren't they giving him a little of the good stuff for pain or is it just not working?
  14. It's my turn. I have lost 42 lbs. About 10 in the last few months before Buddy passed on and 32 in the last 6 months. I have cut out a lot of the things I love the most and which loved to stick to my ribs. I am eating raisen bran and One Bran (I think that is the name) cereals, fruit and one piece of whole wheat bread and 1/2 piece of Hoffman supper sharp cheese for breakfast, no lunch and for dinner I have either all veges or spinach salad, or chicken salad with lots of fruit and sometimes I allow myself to have a pork chop or steak or whatever. I also allow chicken strips a lot. Buddy and I never had lunch. We usually only had two meals a day and I have stuck to that. if i have lunch i am not hungry for dinner. If I have lunch, I don't have breakfast. In the last two weeks I have not lost anything. In fact, I keep going 2 on 2 off. Can't understand why it is getting harder to lose. I am walking a little also. I still need to get rid of about 30 more lbs to be back to the weight I was at the age of 47. I gained all this weight when I stopped smoking at age 48. Food tasted so much better. haha. Maybe I should start counting cal's. Don't know if that will work or not.

    wedding rings

    Curtis, I have a couple tears coming down right now. That was a great post! I have been thinking and thinking about my ring. Does one keep wearing it? When Buddy left for Rainbow Bridge, I put his wedding band on my left finger behind my wedding band because his is so much bigger and mine holds his onto my finger. I look at them both constantly and wonder what should I do. I am no longer married. My love is gone. Does one take them off or leave them on? Or, does one have them both made into another ring? More tears.......
  16. Well, here I am, late again but am running out to the kitchen to get a glass of orange juice. Here is to you Earl, and you to Ginny.
  17. I swear Lillian, what else can happen. Am so happy your home was spared and the rest of your little community. sorry about the town.
  18. My dear Cheryl K, I to miss DavidA. He was one terrific man. He would e-mail me just a line to make sure I was okay now that my husband to passed of this horrible lc. this past New Years Eve, my husband was sleeping and I was tired and a little lonely so I thought I would see if anyone was online. there was DavidA and he and I chatted along with either BobMc or DAvidC. Not sure which one but do know it was David. We chatter for a short time when he said he needed to see to his boys for it was almost midnight and he wanted to be with them. I will remember him this coming New Years Eve and everyone after that. Time does somehow help us to keep going and the good memories do come back and we can smile again but it all takes time. I lost my brother in 98 to lc and my sister in 96 to heart attack and miss them both dearly. I now think of them fondly without tears. My Buddy is another story. I still tear when he comes to my mind. That is going to take years to go away. But that is okay. Life does go on and we somehow go on with it.
  19. Bonnie, I will keep praying for you and yours. YOu are having such a rough go at it right now. I sure don't know the answer but am sure you will find it. Much love...
  20. Carleen, I sure hope New Orleans holds the answer for Keith. I wished I lived there to help you out. I will be praying real hard for this new drug to love Keith....
  21. Ginny, I really didn't want to come on board today for I felt that there would be something I really really didn't want to read and now I know I was right in my feelings. Oh Ginny, my heart goes out to you today in sadness for I will miss the good ol stories regarding "The Duke". I am sure Buddy has him a place on that Bridge to wait for you as my Buddy is waiting for me. Oh Ginny.....I wish I could give you a big hug for I know you could really use one now. Much love....

    Fun in Heaven

    Teetaa. Even though I am crying right now, they are tears of vision. I to can see my Buddy hopping on that boat but not to listen to that music, - - I am sure he brought Johnny Cash with him for the ride. If girls were allowed he would have brought June too. I will someday meet my Buddy at Rainbow Bridge. That was one of the last things we talked about before he left. He asked me to try and not be to long for he would be missing me as I do miss him. Thanks Teetaa.
