I will definately keep those babies in my prayers.

Congratulations on your new baby (BEAUTIFUL!) girl.
That is great news.

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.

Boy, that IS good news!

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 ...

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,

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.

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.

Carleen,

Prayers for comfort and people to help hold you up when you need it.

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.

I am so sorry.
You and your family are in my prayers.

Carleen,
I am so, so very sorry.

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.

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

Karen,
I'm glad I read all the way down to your "update". Based on Faith's needs, the work you and the therapist are doing, how she is at home and all she has been through you are doing the right things. You know her and "get her and that comment from the director about "giving into her" is so out of line. If you know she still needs a nap and that helps her handle the rest of the day that is using common sense and doing the best for the child.
I think you are handling the situation very well and your plans to move out of that day care are for the best ... for Faith. I was wondering if you can find a home day care where the numbers of children would be smaller and Faith could still take a nap if she needed. If you have a child care resource center in your area (CCRC) they would have a list of liscenced homes to check out. Just as you would for a center, you interview and make sure that your "gut feeling" is really comfortable. Just a thought.
Great to hear from you ... I think of you often and wish you well.

Carleen,
I can't find the right words ...
You have been in my prayers for a long time now. Your story is heart breaking but so inspirational and that is what I take away every time I read your posts. Your love for your dear man comes through so clearly and that has touched me more than I can tell you.
I will continue to pray for strength and comfort for both you and Keith.
Sending hugs and prayers,
Karen

Hi Sharon,
Glad to see your "checking in" post. I don't post much but I do check in here and keep everyone in my prayers. I can relate as far as missing your Dad ...I am finding it harder to deal with now and it will be 2 years in November since he passed. I can't even explain the feelings sometimes.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hoping that your little grandson is lighting up your life.

Wishing you all the best.

Karen, Faith and Becky,
I think of you often and wish you well. Your David is definately someone I think of ... especially regarding his humor.
Thinking of you all and Dave.

I am so sorry to hear this? TAnn has been on my mind and in my prayers. My heart goes out to her family.

To me that is one of the most powerful scenes ever and as I have "grown up" in the last years, I understand more and more what was going on there.
I have the DVD with the interview with Robert Harling, the author of the play and screen play. He said that the scene comes from the fact that his sister would be the one to do something outrageous when things got too serious or tragic feeling. She felt that everyone needed to come out of these times with laughter in order pick up the pieces and continue on. I know those are not his exact words but I think that is the gist of what he said.
I agree there are certainly times when I need a Quisa (sp?). And there are times when I need the Clairee to move in and make me laugh.
The funny thing is that when I have gotten to missing my dad terribly, I will inevitably think of something that he did or said that was funny and I end up laughing ... so maybe he is telling me something.

I will definately keep Keith in my prayers. I think of you both often.

Congratulations! What absolutely beautiful girls you have there.

I do check in when I can. My mom is Paddy and she is doing pretty well. We all miss Dad (David). Still think of you all and keep you in our prayers.
