Have a wonderful time. I remember Bill and I planned that cruise and an unexpected lung cancer diagnosis changed that plan. I've heard it's wonderful. Not so much the slowness of the actual Panama Canal (it's a guy thing) but the scenery in the other ports. Enjoy.

Judy, I think of you often. Please know that you continue to be in my prayers
-
If you pray, please do so.
I do and I will. For patience, for strength and for your faith not to falter. God will hold you up.
-
That is awesome news. Thanks for coming back and telling us.

....just and added note. Bill had a twin brother whose name is Thom and spelled like your Thom. You don't see that spelling often. I found that interesting.

Jean,
It will be three years on April 3rd. When Bill was diagnosed he immediately went into the "make sure Laurie will be OK mode." He was the strongest man I've ever known. He was diagnosed with SCLC and believed with everything he had that his two year diagnosis was what he was given and was all he was going to get. He was thankful for time to take care of business, saying goodbyes his way and just for the time given. He wrote a poem about 6 months before he died and called it: SOME PEOPLE NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO EVER SAY GOODBYE. My nephew has since put music to it and recorded it. It's a bittersweet memory that I will treasure always.
The reason I mentioned all of this is the reason I am who I am today. I have become a very strong, determined and happy woman. I truly believe it's because I know that's how Bill wanted me to be. When he was alive, we did everything together. We played, traveled, cooked, entertained and just spent all of our time with each other. I miss those days very much but my life is so busy now I barely have time to worry about being lonely. I literally don't have time. I am very active in my church and volunteer two days a week. I have been remodeling our home and that takes so much planning and creating. It's fun and it keeps me young. I also travel whenever the funds allow.
My faith plays a huge part of who I am today too. Without God in my life I'm not sure where I would be or even who I would be. I know I'll see Bill again and he's promised to wait for me.
I wish with everything I have, that all of you who have lost their soul mates could be as happy as I am. God bless you Jean and I pray you'll soon find that life will be ok.

Great news, thank you so much for checking in. God bless you and your family.

Prayers said Judy. May Dottie and her family have the strength and courage to get through this surgery with minimal discomfort and great faith.

Don't have much to say about Florida weather other than it's HOT. I'm thinking about KW Judy today. It's scan day.
Lot's of prayers and fingers crossed for good results.

In most cases the heart stuff is way more fixable than the cancer stuff. Many blessings for a good fix.

Bud I know all about hot summers, the humidity is stifling. I hope you and Bruce get to go fishing this weekend and are able to bring in a bunch to fry up. I'm missing those days. Randy, I hope you have a free minute to smell the flowers.
Blessings to you all

We should honor every day to those we lost. Cancer is horrible. Bless you for acknowledging the survivor.
-
Have fun and let them all wait on you.
-
Thank you for sharing.....God bless

Good day all.
Bill used to make things himself and post on the fishing forum @ the Sports Illustrated site. He had so much accumulated in the garage he always was able to find parts and pieces and build something. He also was a master at cooking on the grill and posted on another forum about ideas on grilling. I think he also subscribed to the Jeep forums. Sure miss those days when he was around. We had a very busy, active life.
Judy in KW, do you have a date when you'll be back in Orlando?
-
Eric, it was great. Almost like meeting you in person and yes, you got your point across. Thank you.
Thanks too to Ned for posting the link.

That was great, sure wish I would have seen Dr West....thanks for posting this

Hi Muriel,
I'm guessing the reason no one is on the computer is because they're all enjoying their lives. I certainly hope so. I hope they're all out having whatever fun there is to be had today. I've already had my fun this morning. We had "Church Pride Day" and I got to scrape up gum off the floors in the sanctuary, clean the kitchen, scrub the kitchen floor, vacuum and spray Round-Up on some outside weeds. Life is good here in Orlando. Blessing to everyone today.

Judy,
Sorry no results yet. Hopefully the Neurologist will be the one to give you some answers. Xanax puts me to sleep, but I'm a lightweight.
Hope you're feeling good enough to have a good holiday weekend.
Some of my thoughts

Ronnie,
After Bill died I relished sad movies just so I could cry. I really felt that crying got rid of so much sadness and hurt and the frustration of the new life without your loved one. Crying is so very healthy.
It's coming up on 3 years since Bill is gone and the crying has diminished. I pray that the day will come when you are smiling more at the wonderful memories with Pat. God bless you and good luck in your new work status.
