K and Kids

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

Now I see them. Boy, she is a cutie. I love the one of her in the suitcase. She looks like a little doll. Thanks for sharing.

It just seems like not long ago she was saying that she was responding well to treatment. This is a shock. I just don't know what to say. Too many wonderful people have had their lives cut short by this disease.

Michael, My prayers are with you and your family. You mom certainly was an amazing lady. She will always be remembered.

There are no words ... just a heavy heart with thoughts of Fay and her family. This is so sad.

Wow!

My prayers are with you and your family. With all my love ... for you to know how much you are loved. Karen

I am adding my thoughts and prayers for Fay.

Welcome Home!

I am so glad to hear this. Wishing Fay and her family all the best possible.

TAnn, Sending you lots of prayers and positive thoughts.

Prayers are on their way to you Fay.

I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear this news. It was so clear that Addie was such an angel here on earth and an angel she will continue to be. Love and prayers to her loved ones.

Wishing you both all the best and sending prayers.

Carleen, I wish you all the best whatever you choose to do. I know that even in normal circumstances it is always important to have a strong support group when raising children. I found the friends I met when my children were babies have been the best thing when it comes to dealing with those trying times, tragic times and joyful times. They understand where I am coming from and offer support when I need it. I'm sure your family and Keith's will be there too but other mothers with the same age children can offer amazing support. IVF is not something that I have experience in so I can't offer insight there. Pregnancies are different for everyone but knowing what you are up against as far as Keith's health will probably come into play and you are right in considering this as part of decision making process. Again, I offer prayers as you take in all the different possibilites and weight all the options.

Addie, I can't tell you the impact that you have had on my life and outlook. I wish you precious moments with your family and comfort. You sure are loved. With love and prayers, Karen

Pat, I am so sorry. There are no words except that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Karen, This has got to be unbelievable to go through. I think about you and Faith often. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. You and your family are in my thougths and prayers.

Val, I don't have the words ... but I understand. Sending you a hug.

I just wanted to check in and let you know that while I haven't been an active participant in this board lately, I have been coming to read every day. For one reason or another I can't find the words to post any reply worth a grain of salt or comforting in anyway. It is not that I don't think about all of you ... my prayers are always including the terrific people on this site. November 5th was the 1 year since my dad's death and I understand, now, why people say it is so hard the months and years afterwards. I miss him so much and find there are more and more moments when I need him and want so badly to hear his voice. I really don't think I have come to terms with all of this and don't really know if I ever will. That aside, I just want you to know that you guys and girls are very special and incredible in so many ways. To Dear Addie, Pat and Brian, Beth and Bill,... my prayers are with you every day and I imagine great big, comforting hugs coming your way when you most need them. To the many other names belonging to all of you who supported my mom and me, I think of you and keep you in my prayers too. Mom (Paddy) is currently in South Africa on a trip with her brother and sister-in-law. It is a part pleasure/part necessary trip. Mom's sister has not been doing well and they are trying to sort things out there. It is quite possible that this will be the last time the siblings (Mom and her sister)will see each other ... a sad thought. I have to say that Mom is doing very well, all things considered. She has settled into her new house better than we could have hoped but it is still difficult. I know you of all people understand about that. Sorry for the long message. I just wanted to let you know that I am still here even if I am not posting. Love and strength to you all,

I don't give in to the superstitions. The only reason that I don't walk under ladders is because there is a chance that something could fall on me ... paint can or hammer. One thing I get really ticked off at is all the emails that people send me saying that if I don't send it on to 10 people I will have bad luck... even when it is some really nice or positive message. I try to warn people that I don't follow through on chain letters of any kind. I just can't bring myself to give into those things. Grrrrrrr!

Itzhak Perlman ... I have always loved this guy's spirit both in interviews and in his music. The back up would be James Galway for the same reasons.

I think fried chicken or chicken salad sandwiched. Brownies. If you have to have something healthy then ... veggies and dip. An ice cold Pepsi to wash it all down with. That is what I would do this time.

Beth, I will definately keep your Bill in my prayers.
