Guest DaveG Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 So many times this has happened with this group. Someday the scientists will find the answers. It never gets any easier when we lose one more to lung cancer, but it is the sad realty of this disease we all share, either as a caregiver, family member, or as one who has the disease. We just have to kepp on fighting and praying that someday the answer will be here. We will miss your stories about your Buddy, but we hope to see you back here to lend the support you have given to so many people. I have the greatest respect for you because you had your own struggles with your Buddy, but yet found the time to offer support to others. You are a special person.

t_beanes Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 I am very sorry to hear that the battle is over. I thought things were getting sticky when I read you went to the hospice. For the one at his side it is as time has frozen as if things could still turn around - but cannot. It is a time where one has no expierience with . I hope you can try to get strength one day from your memories and your believe. Even knowing all the time what comes our way does not help easing the pain once it is there. Not in my case anyway.I feel for you and press my thumbs for you to be able to deal with your pain. Big hugs Bettina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elaine Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 It has taken me several days to reply. When I first came to this board several weeks ago, yours and Buddy's story was one of the first I read. It broke my heart to find that you had lost your Buddy and love. I know there are no words to comfort you, but maybe it can help you to know how much of an inspiration you and Buddy have been to so many of us. God has given you a great and lasting strength, and may you find peace and pleasure in the days to come. Memories seem insufficient in our grief, but they can also be such comfort.

David P Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi Norme. Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your high school sweetheart. I have always felt as though you and Buddy were my next door neighbors, and everything I know of the two of you has come from "over the fence chats". Norme, you are definitely an asset to those on this board, and I thank you for all your caring words of comfort and wisdom that you are so well known for. Please don't go away for too long; there are people that still need you. Take care and try to rest a while -- you deserve it. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were a wonder to watch over the years. So much love and giving. I am sure it was the same with you and Buddy. He is waiting for you and would want you to take care of yourself...so please try to get some rest. I hope you will come here often and visit. You have been an inspiration to us all.
