I just received my bracelet. What a wonderful remembrance of Bill. I will cherish it forever. Thank you so much Sharon.

I read his blogs daily and will miss him greatly. He was a very brave and courageous man for sharing every day of his cancer life with us. God's blessings to his family and friends.

Debbie, I know.........and I'm sorry you have to go through this too. Try and let God help you through this....let him give you strength. Of course it's horribly lonely. For 3.5 years that was your existence, taking care and loving your Alan. The Serenity Prayer helps me...... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen. God bless you Debbie.

Thanks for the update Randy. They have been missed.

Teri, The days will pass and you'll get through them. Thankfully you have your G-Group. Let them be a comfort to you. Continue getting those things together for your trip. I have always so admired your faith that God will get you through these times. Rely on the Serenity Prayer. It works. Thinking about you. ((((((((((Teri)))))))))))))

Thanks for posting that Patti. I too keep up with the Leroy Seivers blog. Yesterday and today's blogs just broke my heart and brought back memories I'd pushed away. Reading it today allowed me to let go a little of my grief. I so get it.

Debbie, May God be with you and your family. I'm prayerfully thanking God that his passing was peaceful. Rest now, my friend.

Dar, Thanks so much for sharing her story. Mom is now with so many of our loved ones and they're all finally at peace and without suffering. You'll do ok, give yourself time and be gentle on yourself. She was one beautiful woman who had a very loving and beautiful daughter. God bless

Nova asked me to post this link for Harry's Obit. Today we will rally for our friend for strength and peace. http://www.legacy.com/TBO/Obituaries.as ... =111220445

Nova and Jacob, You have my deepest, heartfelt sympathies. God will be with you and your family and He will get you through these times. Your Sista

Teri, Thanks for sharing that wonderful time you had. I so get it. I too, have had good times and don't feel guilty about it. I know my Bill would be thrilled that I'm moving on. He knew how much I loved him and he knew I'd be sad when he left, but he also knew that I am strong in my faith and that is what is getting me through. God bless you and thank you again for sharing.

Thank you Jen, that's excellent news. It's wonderful he is beating the odds. God is so good.

Judy, I agree with you, Dr Tseng is the BEST.

Jen, You're not being negative at all. You're being real. Cancer does suck, for all of us. Those who have fought it, those who are fighting, those who have lost the battle. It's ok to be real. That's what life and death is, REAL.

Ernie, That is the absolute best post I've read in a long time. The Lord is the only one who got Bill and I through these last months. He always said to me, just be happy for the good times, no reason to focus on the bad. He had an opportunity to say goodbye that many don't have and he was forever grateful for that. Thank you. Where does my help come from. My help comes from the Lord. Maker of heaven and earth Psalm 121:1,2

My heart just hurts for you and the kids. Try and let God's peace be with you and enjoy the memories.

Many thanks to all of you who send prayers and good wishes. Many of you know what it's like to lose a spouse. Many of you are still going through the trials of this horrible disease. May God's blessing be showering you all.

Bill left us yesterday after a long, two year battle with SCLC. The last two days, with the help of our Hospice Angels, he was able to give in to the dreaded disease and have peace. I held him in my arms our last minutes and told him I would love him until I die. Bravo Bill, you did it all your way!

I am so grateful for my daughter, son in law and grandsons who came today to help with yard work and to just be there for us. What a blessing they are......and our beautiful 82 degree sunny day
