My dad died on July 5 around 5pm. I miss him so much, but know that he is watching over me, all of us. I can still feel him around especially at my moms house. We have taken turns sleeping at my moms to keep her company and help her do what she needs to do. I slept in her bed with her on my dads side and dreamed of him. He was young and not sick at all, his tumors were gone, and he was up walking...

Things are getting hard. Im scared. My dad now weighs only 103lbs, he is nothing but a skeleton. Hes not as coherant as he once was. He sleeps all day. Part of me wants him out of pain, but I feel like I just cant let go. Ifeel like I wont be able to handle it. How do you deal with someone being gone, I feel so lost in a way. The nurses keep saying they cant believe hes still hanging on, I can, b...2 Comments -

My Mum gave this to me on Mother's Day last year (it was given out at her church) and I thought I would share it with you.
Dear Mother
Who saw you as you counted down the weeks, stroking your growing belly, dreaming of the potential kicking against your hand, wondering if you would be able to measure up to those who had gone before?
Who saw you as you first gazed into that precious cr...7 Comments -

Well, things are going down hill a bit. My dad is in considerable pain all the time..we are back to the point where we cant hug him. His morphine is upped on a regular basis and he gives himself booster shots a couple of times a day. He is also on some oral pain killers...But on the positive side..he is still such a happy and brave man! What an amazing person to be in constant pain and still able...1 Comment -

Somehow, I keep forgetting to stop and weigh myself. how convenient. The gym is a bit ridiculous right now. They have 3 parking lots--all packed. There's a line to get on a treadmill. Ah well, as the new year's resolutions fade from memory, the people will fade from the gym.
It's been storming here hard enough to keep me off my bicycle for a couple of days, and so I thought I'd us...1 Recommendation1 Comment -
