Hello my dear, hope that your first Easter without your dad wasn't too hard. Know that this year is going to be full of very hard firsts. The seconds come a little easier. Hopefully the thirds will be easier. Give everyone a (((((hug))))) from me. Now go out and enjoy the sun and warm! You never know how long they are going to last in this country! lol

So glad to hear from you. Thinking about you all the time. You are in my prayers daily. Love and hugs, linda

Right now, Phoebe is cowering in her kennel. It's storming here and she is a 75lb, 9-year old BABY!!!

I still can't believe that after all is said and done, you have to deal with an ulcer. You would think that would have shown up sooner rather than later. And on top of that... no COFFEE, no WINE, no CHOCOLATE. Maybe you should buy some of those sprays that Iris was talking about. ;-)

Things are okay here. My dad is literally skin and bone but I honestly don't think I (or my mom) can change his mind about the PEG and I truly do respect his decision. We had dinner together yesterday, and I have to admit, it was one of the more peaceful dinners together of late. Typically, they end up with him being very frustrated and angry, but yesterday we watched a movie and then grilled out (taking advantage of the weather) and he seemed to be in good spirits. It was refreshing and I cherish those moments the most.

Love to you and Chico from me & Phoebe!

I think you went back to work today - true? How was that? I know a couple of times, I've just had to walk away. I once sent my VERY understanding VP a text that said, "I'm sorry, I just can't be here today," and left the office.

Snuggle with Chico - that always helps me.

i am just checking in... How was your day? Firsts for everything are so hard. I thought about you and your mom today... Big Hugs, Linda

Hi Rosella,
Just checking in on you. How are you doing my dear?
Love,
Melody

hi thelma your in my prayers im writing to wish you a happy easter hang in there friend god bless

Rosella,

I'm glad you've already had one of "the dreams" (It brought tears to my eyes to read it). Honestly, one thing you have, is that you made sure you were there for him and your family. You won't have to deal with regrets about that. Like I'd said before, I still really miss my Daddy. Some day I'll tell you about the circumstances surrounding his passing. He was "old enough" , but truth is, our loved ones are never old enough to leave.... last night I had an action adventure dream, lots of terrorists, and I think Barry was in it somewhere LOL. Was happy to wake up. Ernie says to tell Chico "Hi" (his B-day is Sunday) lots of love & hugs, Diane

Hi Rosella, I am getting ready to go to bed soon. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers. Hugs, Linda

Rosella,

How are you getting along? You're in my heart every day. ((Hugs))

How you doing today? Thinking of you and knowing that this is hard. Sending more hugs.

Hi Rosella, here's a (((((hug))))) for today. Finally got to send a little something your way. Keep an eye out.

Oh, I love the moss stitch. I have made a few scarfs out of Misty Alpaca heavy weight.. Beautiful made up.... I wantd to tell you but wanted to wait a bit. I lost my Dad when i was 10. He was only 30 yrs old. I will never forget that day. Ever... A huge loss and hole in my heart. That never goes away but living without them does get easier with time. Just takes time.. I know you will be ok but it is ok to hurt and cry too. We need to get that out too. Love you so, Big Hugs, me
