    About Me

    hi -- my husband died in september 2007, but i qualify this statement with years of preparation i had expecting his death as he/we valiantly faced his death for the passed four years. he was diagnosed with leukemia 2002--his lengthy hospitalizaions/treatment and chronic and acute setbacks defined our lives for a long while--i have been blessed by knowing the most incredible medical personnel in the universe; i tease them all i've earned my degree in everyone of their disciplines. :) i don't know how to handle his death. we had many instances that were near-death medical situations--so i had thought about how it would be, how i would do this. reality is so very much different from supposing or predicting what it would be.

        From JazyJo November 23

        Thank you so much. I just wish I could have quit while Jim was still alive. He quit when he started chemo and never started again. He was smoke free for 5 years!! He is my inspiration to keep me strong. I am bound and determined that I will stay smoke free. My little grandson is so precious and getting big fast. His appetite is ever increasing. I am giving his HUGS for all of his DS godmothers as Martha calls all of you. HUGS for a good Thanksgiving.
