Christy, How devastating for all of you. My heart goes especially to your dad. Barb

Bucky, good for you seeking help. I am sure they will be able to help you be more content. Barb

I am so sorry for your loss. There just aren't words to express how wrong this is, God bless. Barb

Thanks for responding Janet. I sure hope that's the reason for her mom, too. My friend is expecting their first child next week. I think that's why she won't talk about it much. Barb

My friend at work found out recently that her mom has LC. I know nothing more, she doesn't talk about it. Her mom isn't having any chemo/rad since she is so ill, but my friend called last night to say the Dr. wants to put Mom on Tarceva. Is that something that is done often? Seems like all I've read here is it is given when the chemo has done it's job. Barb

Ned, I hadn't noticed the little "rock" by Moloki! It would be fun to see a photo of all the islands, inhabited or not. I suppose there are many? I enjoyed reading about your busy life at the site you listed, along with others I "know" here! Aloha Barb

That was excellent Barb

Grateful for my "baby fix". The chiropractors next door to our office brought their baby in and I got to hold her and cuddle her twice today! Barb

Ned, that is the east end of Molokai! That impresses me that from the picture you could tell! It was so amazing that we could see two other islands from the whale watching boat! Now that was FUN. Seeing those whales with babies and dolphins in the wild!!! This was my dream trip, I always wanted to visit Hawaii and now I have. What fabulous memories. What island do you live on? Barb

That is THE BEST NEWS!! Barb

May I just add, what an *ss H_ _ _ Barb PS I'll be furious about this for awhile for you so you just don't have to be.

Patti-- It worked!!! Picture from my bedroom window

That's a good one

Sandra That is really good I particularly liked " If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before." Barb

Laughing...crying...that happened to me, too "They" left big clothes in my closet... HELP Barb

I'm so sorry for your loss. Barb

Have a wonderful getaway! Barb

My deepest sympathy. Barb

You CAN do this. You will find strength you never knew you had. God bless you and your friend. Barb

I thought I could run away from the pain. While I was with my family I was able to talk about Rod and it didn't hurt. It was like other trips I took when he stayed home. But back then, when I got home he would be here. This time he isn't. I keep expecting him to be in the kitchen, I want to go tell him something about the little cousins or something about Hawaii. But he isn't here. I still can't accept that he is gone. Last night I just had to take a nap, I slept on the couch while the sun was up and it was dark when I woke. It felt just like the first weeks after my family went home after the services. Cold. Lonesome. There is no running. And I know I could never leave this place to live elsewhere. Barb

Denise, that brought tears to my eyes, thankful tears. I'm glad you posted it. Barb

My aunt didn't let me pay anything for the condo we stayed in on Maui. She also tried to buy all our meals, I was able to treat a few times. My cousin took me on a whale watching trip. It was incredible. Barb

My condolences to you on the loss of your mom and best friend. Your mom was a wonderful lady I can tell by your post. So loving of her to leave letters and a gift for your child Barb

Lily, That's funny Barb
