Hi! How have you been? My dad seems to be staying about the same lately. Though as you know it's hard to gauge with this horrendous disease. Dad is going to be able to get out of the house tonite to go to his youngest grandson's baseball game. (Our son Eric is 9). It has been really warm and sunny here the last few days in Central Illinois. But, rain is supposed to be on its way. Yuck! Take care, Kim
Yasmin, How have you been? I'm so busy with my husband that I hardly have time to come here. Also, I'm busy with work as a teacher. Soon, I'll have the summer off! :) John is having so much trouble using his hands, he uses the breathing machine a lot more through the day and all night. His back bothers him, he is loosing more of his voice, and my heart breaks! :(
I ask God to take him before it gets really bad!
Hi Yasmin,
Hope your mother is adjusting to her new enviroment. My dad is hanging in there. My sister and niece are coming this weekend from Texas to visit him for a few days. I know your situation isn't the same as mine. But, I was wanting to know how you deal with the loneliness after losing Bob. I feel heartbroken about losing my husband to a divorce. I still love him so much and am hurting. He says he loves me too but just can't take all our fighting anymore. Do you have any advice? He will talk to our parish priest but that is about it at this point. Our kids are having a rough time too. Hope you are doing okay. Kim
Hi Yasmin,
Thinking of you? How is your mother doing now? My dad is doing so-so. He was thrilled to get out and attend a few high school basketball games. Take care, Kim
Hi Yasmin,
Just wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from the forum for at least awhile. I have been having a huge increase in anxiety lately about my father and posts on here have been upsetting me. So, I'm going to take a step back. I will be popping back in after I clear my head. Reading about all the PALS passing away lately is just scarying me too much that I'm afraid I'll get that dreaded cal in the middle of the night that dad is gone. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, Kim
Hi Yasmin,
I'm working right now at the hospital. My dad and aunt came over to our house last night to celebrate Christmas Eve with us. We had a nice relaxing time and the kids now have another memory of their grandpa to look back on someday. Dad is getting weaker and it is hard to see. But, we are trying to take advantage of each moment that we can Merry Christmas! Sending you a hug, Kim
Hi Yasmin,
I was off the forum for a few days and missed your posts about a toast in honor of Bob's birthday. I love to get on your profile and see the picture in which he is smiling. It might seem strange but he looks so happy in it that the picture cheers me up when I see it. I'm sure you were a big part of the reason behind that big smile. I am so glad that you have many happy memories together. Sending you a hug, Kim
