    Radon

    Our Realtor recommended a Radon test (the computerized one) as part of the house inspection that we had done. I would hope that Realtors would be educated in the different environmental issues of their state/area. Our's was and we did get the test done and it came back with a high reading. We paid half for the Radon mitigating system to be installed and the sellers paid for the other half. Letting people know that it is a fixable thing and not a reason NOT to buy a house is an important thing.
  5. I was touched by those lines too. It really hit home. I don't know why I watch things like this either except that sometimes it validates what I am already feeling. Then I can pick up and go on. Is is it a kind of release or permission to "go there" when I might not normally let myself? I don't know. I just heard this week that a highschool friend of mine passed away late last week from colon cancer. He suffered greatly and some how I can't find the sense in it all. I am numb all over again. Each time it hits hard. The tears don't come ... just an overwhelming feeling of helplessness or something. I'm just rambling ... Karen
  6. Frank, I don't post here often but I come by to read and check up on everyone. Your posts are some of the first that I look for because of your incredible outlook on life. Your insight and sense of humor are one of a kind and truly a blessing. My prayers are with you and your family always, Karen
  7. Boy ... do I hear you. About 3 months ago I found that I was having a really tough time missing my dad. Why it hit then I don't know but I find that if I am even a little depressed for some reason or other then my missing him is worse. Like many people mentioned it is the silliest things that trigger a memory or moment of missing Dad. The two things that most trigger these moments are my children. When they do something or say something that I would normally enjoy sharing with Dad or want him to see that makes me sad. I'm sure he is aware some how but not being able to hear his voice or see his smile is hard. I can definately relate and wish this hard time lightens up a bit and good memories comfort you.
  8. Don, I am so sorry to hear of Lucie's passing. She has certainly been an inspiration to many on this board. With love and prayers for you and your family during this time. Karen
  9. Hip, Hip, Hooray! Congratulations Val and Big sister Carolyn ... and daddy too! All the best to you.
  10. This is great news to hear. Whooo Hoooo!

    Too much pain

    Carleen, A great deal of the feelings that you described I have seen and heard my mom go through and say. I am glad that you have chosen to post here with many wonderful people who have gone through what you are dealing with now in some form. My prayers are with you. Please know that there are so many people who love and care about you.
  13. I am so sorry. You and your family are in my prayers.
  14. Carleen, I am thinking of you and wishing you "angels" around you. "Angels" who take the form of friends and family and strangers who appear when you need them most ... for a well needed hug or shoulder or ear. And most of all precious moments with your Keith filled with love. Karen I am trying to read the following every day as I find it calming and centering. Just offering it in the hope that it might help you. Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations, and say continually "The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart has trusted in Him and I am helped. He is not only with me but in me and I in Him." St. Frances de Sales Found in A New Songby Jan Karon
