Hope you have a Happy Birthday.

Hey sweetie, I saw your post on your thread and want you to know that I will be thinking about you tomorrow. It's going to be rough, but just remember how strong you have been and draw from that strength. It is a time of sorrow, a time to remember, a time of change. I am sure your mom will look beautiful. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please give dad a hug from me. Things are overwhelmingly sad right now, but it will get better in time, I promise. Hang in there and know that there is a lot of love being sent to you and your family from our forum. ...Hugs, Kari

Jenny
Saw that your mother passed. I am so very sorry. I know words are useless at the moment but know that your friends on this forum are holding you up in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. You both are way too young to have to deal with this, again, I am very sorry.

Jenny, that is my oldest daughters name also. I have 2 girls and 4 boys. I pray everyday that they and my dear Rich will be ok after I am gone. That is my only worry about leaving them.... I want them to be happy that I am not struggling with this hard trial any longer. Oh to be at peace and to let my family get on with their lives without the worry they have about me eveyrday. i want nothing more than for them to be happy.. I know your Mom will always be close to you.. She will never be far away. Big Hugs to you, Linda

Hi Jenny, just wanted to let cha know I am still around. I just got back home from being in AZ and then cat sitting at my parents. Home finally with my own babies! Hope all is well with you!!,,Hugs, Kari

Hi jenny,
I've been off line for a while and I just received your message, thank you! A bed in a hospice hasn't opened up so today I'm brining her home (she has a hair appointment first though!) So I'm scared of taking he home but miss that little monster. We are having a celeibration of life party this weekend for her.
How is your mom? How are you?
I hope when ever you read this you know I'm sending you pink thoughts and big hugs!

Hi Jenny, I had a good day. Its been 2 1/2 years since my husband died, and I actually finally tossed out some of his clothes and cleaned out some of his stuff today. That is big stuff for me. Oh, you are friends with Devon? (MaxwellMurder) He is a kick in the butt! You should read some of his poetry, its great. He is writing a book on when he was dx with ALS, the first chapter is done, you should have him send it to you, its really good. Well, hope you had a good weekend with mom! How did it go with the video camera?? Well, gotta go, Celebrity Apprentice is coming on and Bret Michaels is on there. He is a babe!! Hugs!!!....Kari

some of my poems are up as blogs

Hi, saw the group you started, what a great idea! I thought about the friends I have here that have parents with ALS..try messaging andy2020, fencer, thelma313 and debA. I am sure I will remember more later. You are already better at this than I am...ahh you younger generation and your computer skills! I am really tired tonight sweets, let me know how it went today with mom and the video camera thing. Gotta go and sleep now....Hugs, Kari

Hi Jen, well you could just go back to the post you did last night to say good night if you want. It then pops up and keeps the thread going. Make sense??? It took me a while to get it right too. I STILL message myself from time to time! Derka Derka! K your mom is 10 years older than me. My daughter does not talk to her biological dad, she considers her step dad who passed away her dad. She has a ton of boyfriends too, and I cover for her all the time. Hey I was young once too right! All her friends come to me with their troubles because their parents are not so open minded. Anyway, you are precious my friend, you have a good night!!! Hugs, Kari

Your mom is still very pretty! What a wonderful family you have there!! I wish my family were big like that. Hey, you have a sister named Dana too??? Wow, that's my sisters name, what are the odds of that! Your mom has to be in her 60's?? I think my conservative parents were the only ones on the planet to miss the 60's hippy generation. Sad, I know..haha....

Hi Jenny, Oh I will have to take a look at that web site! I talked to my mom down in their home in Arizona today. (they live there part time and here most of the time) My dad was out, and my poor mom just broke down crying because my dad is getting weaker and weaker. To watch this strong man struggle is going to kill her. I held back my tears and just let her cry. They have the best marriage I have ever know. It has been 48 years of bliss. Best friends, still holding hands, still in love. My God, how are we going to handle what is down the road? They wont even talk about the future. Okay, deep breath for me! Today is here and today everyone is still alive, so its a good day!
Hugs, Kari

Hi Jenny, hope your day went well. You are thinking about reading that beautiful poem to your mom before she passes? Well, if you do, I have to give you props, because I just couldnt get through it without losing it completely. If my daughter wrote me a letter that wonderful I would want to hold on to her and never let go! (well I kinda already feel that way) So, you are the brunette in the picture? The blonde is mom? Beautiful family!!!!!..................Hugs, Kari

Good night everyone. xoxo

New message back to ya!! Hugs, Kari
