(((Christine))), I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and my prayers are with you. Hugs, Sue

Barb, I don't imagine that there are any of us who haven't said something to someone that we wish we could take back , but when that person is gone forever it seems all those thoughts come back to us. As long as they were still alive, I guess we felt we could make up for it somehow or it wasn't such a big deal. We are all human and not infallible. Oh my goodness, I've lost count of the times I have beat myself up and even cried over thoughts that started with " If only" or "I wish I woulda" "maybe I shoulda" or "If I tried harder, I am sure I coulda "... etc. etc. Think we have all just been there done that and are doing that. I feel sure Rod knew how very much you loved him and that is what is important. Hugs, Sue

LOL, it's good to see you laughing this evening, Mitchell. You made me laugh too. Keep that great sense of humor and you will be sailing through to the new you. Sue

(((Mitchell))) Welcome Home!!! I won't make this long, but want you to know that the prayers continue to come your way for a rapid recovery. So sorry that it hasn't been easy so far. Hoping each day finds you feeling stronger and better. Hugs, Sue

(((Randy))), Those "girls" were so blessed to have you in their lives. Hope tomorrow will be a better day. Sue

Such a promising report on Hank. Happy for you both. Will be looking for even better reports to come. Sue

Jenny, Lots of prayers going up for your fil. Hope the treatment plan will put him in that remission you are praying for. Sue

Karen, I am so very sorry you have lost your husband. I just read over your his journey and I am so sorry he had to go through so much . Knowing he is now at peace must be a comfort. My prayers go out for you and the family. Know that we will be here for you. Sue

(((Patti))), I don't have answers, but I have love , compassion and lots of hugs for you. Your son is one of the most blessed kids in the world, he has had and still has you, Patti. Not all kids have such a loving parent. Second of all, please stop blaming yourself for this disease. That's not allowed here because we know it may or may not have been caused by your smoking, but no one DESERVES to have cancer. If you had known, positively, for one minute that you WOULD get cancer, you would have quit. One more note, my mom quit 22 year ago and she still was diagnosed with lung cancer. Patti, You aren't robbing Nick of anything. You didn't choose to have this disease and I am of the belief that all things happen for a reason. Let happen what happens. Give love to Nick and take his love back. Live life to the fullest. If this disease takes you from him, he will grieve, but he will draw great comfort in the part of you he will carry in his heart. I'm so sorry you have the pain of worrying about these things. I'm so sorry you have lung cancer. I pray you will be here for a long time. You are such a giver, dear Patti, and I'm inspired by you every day I come here. I hope someone can post something to help you to find peace in your thoughts. In the meantime, know that you have my prayers, ALWAYS!!! Love, Sue

Cindi touched a lot of people with her kindness and her wonderful sense of humor. She kept in touch with me for quite a while and helped me quite a bit to get through a crisis with Mike. She was knowledgeable about many things. Condolences to her family and friends. May you rest in peace, dear Cindi. Sue
