Pam,
All I can say is this, listen to Joel and hear what he is saying. If you have a "gut feeling" as you say, act upon on it.
My heart goes out to you, and you and Joel will be in my thoughts and prayers. Paddy

Fay, I think of you often and will do so especially in the coming days. You have so much courage and have been though so much, I know you are going to come out of this too. Paddy

So very sorry Beth. Paddy

I'm with Fay A here, the nurse and the onc are the ones who should be ashamed of their insensetivity.
You were probably releasing some of the strain of the last few months as well as showing your sadness about your Mom. Don't give it another moments thought.

Glad about the "no progression" part Don, but sad to hear that Lucie has to go through chemo , (and all that goes with it,)again. Lets hope it does the trick this time. You two are always in my thoughts even though I don't get to the board very often these days.

Dear Carleen,
My heart aches for you and Keith. It seems though that some of us have no choice but to walk the path we have been given. I too have found that to express your grief and anger is a good thing as it helps to build you up for the next fight. I still do it, but not quite so often. I will allow myself a ranting, crying session in the shower, (so's the neighbors can't hear,) and then I can get on with what I have to do. Life is definately not fair my Dear and the fact that you are so young makes this even worse for you. Prayers and positive thoughts are on there way to you and Keith.
Love, Paddy.

Hello All,
I have been away for some time, but have had you all in my thoughts and prayers. Bet Ya didn't even notice I was gone!
It was so very sad to hear of the loss of our Dear friends Dean and Beth/"Just a kid" while I have been away. God Bless them both and their families.
I have bought a condo in Michigan where I am settling down very well after a traumatic move from CA, (to say the least.) The condo is very pretty, light and airy and has everything I need to be comfortable. It even has a pond stocked with bass and sports Canada Geese and egrets! I am also a ten minute drive away from my daughter Karen, and her family which is great.
So you see I have so much to be grateful for and he only thing that makes me sad is that David is not here to enjoy it with me.
I will not be posting too often as there is still much to do here, however I am at least "on board" again.
Love to you all,
Paddy.
PS. How do you spell geese?!We need a spell-check here!

Hello Peggy,
I am back on line again at last! My thoughts and prayers have been with you and all our friends while I have been away. I want you to know how sorry I am for your pain. I wish I could do something to help.
I used to think exactly as you and it caused me so much pain, however, lately I have realized that even if I did know the answer to all those questions it can't help Dave now, and certainly would only cause me more anguish. I try not to re-live all the awful stuff,( although I often lapse,) and try to think of the happy times. At first I couldn't do that but now they are coming back to me.
Although Dave and I obviouslly knew that it was a definate possibility that he would die, I don't think either of us accepted or believed such a horrible thing could happen ever really to "us".
As a result of his up-bringing David always found it difficult to express emotion. He would always say "We haven't been married for 40 years "not" to know exactly what is in each other's hearts. I understood that, but still,I would have liked to have heard him say "I love you" more often, instead of answering me with an, "I love you too" or a "like-wise". Why did I expect that would change at the end. When I was sitting stroking his arm just before he died, (I couldn't get closer because of all the tubes etc,) I told him how very much I loved him and how much I would miss him,and, looking at me with his soft, hurt, brown eyes he said, "Like-wise" and went back to sleep. He died an hour or so later from a heart attack. I smile now when I think of that because it was so "him"!
Peggy, I will PM you soon.
Love,
Paddy

My Dear Peggy,
How strange that I should log in again on this particular morning only to hear this very sad news.
Peggy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. I will send a P.M.
Love,
Paddy

Hi There All,
Just wanted you to know that I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers although I haven't had time to post lately. I sold my house and now I am madly packing.I am finding it very hard doing it on my own.I think I am going to be taking up some offers of help from my neighbours soon!
I will be leaving the house on the 12th and will be off to MI in a few days after that.
I must say this is a terribly emotional time and I feel as if I am leaving the life I lived with David behind. So much of our stuff has had to be sold or given away and everytime something goes I feel very sad. The other day some friends came and chopped up Dave's beautiful model railroad into small pieces, ( so that it could fit into a dumpster,) I could'nt even bear to watch. Today I tore up the manuscript of his last book,and threw away the photos, it all seems such a darned waste.
Well I must go and get busy again. I will let you know when I get settled in Michigan. Watch out Mr and Mrs Ry, I am on my way!
Love to you all,
Paddy

Oh No Sharon! I am going to miss your posts so much. I have felt like you do at times and sometimes became very depressed but now I am back again. Perhaps you will keep in touch with some members of the board or check in sometime to let us know how you are doing. In the mean time I wish you all the best and it was so nice having you in my life, even in such awful circumstances. Love, Paddy
