Dear Lorna,
I am so sorry to hear that Mark has passed on. He was a fighter. I know that no words can help right now, but try to take consulation in the fact that he is no longer suffering or in pain. He has gone on to a better place. He will always be with you in your heart & memories. It is great that he was able to be at home & surrounded by loved ones in the end. You and everyone that loved him are in my thoughts & prayers.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaPatty,
If only I could, I would love to be there to meet Marion, you and any of the others that are there, but it just isn’t going to happen for me this time. I am hoping to hook up with some of you lovely people in the future. Have fun and enjoy.
Love & Hugs To All,
DarlaKris you sound great. Enjoy your time on Crete. You two both deserve it. Buy a lot of great scarves and eat some of that wonderful food for me!!!!!
Darla
I have to agree with Marion. I think it is time for a trip to the ER. She probably is dehydrating and that will only lead to other issues.
Good luck to you and I hope things start to improve soon.
DarlaSorry to hear the news about your Mum. Hopefully the second opinion will give you a different (more promising) perspective to it all.
Congratulations on baby Pamela. I am so glad your Mum was able to be there for her birth. What a special time this is for all of you. Enjoy your little one & let Grandma spoil her all she wants!

DarlaDear, Dear Kris,
You have every right to all those thoughts & feelings. I feel so badly for you. I know there is no way any of us can really know what you are experiencing & going through, but we are all here for you. You and Hans are in my thoughts & prayers.
With much love & lots of hugs for both of you.

Dee,
I am so sorry for what you and Lenny are going through and want you to know I am thinking of you. I too am hoping he can be kept comfortable and relatively pain free. Make the most of this time together. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaDear Elaine,
I am so sorry to hear that Gary has passed on. I had been following your posts but couldn’t bring myself to reply as I had feared the worst, but hoped for the best and didn’t want to risk any negativity. After what you and Gary have endured, know that you both did your best and that atleast now he will no longer suffer from this awful disease. Try to take comfort in knowing that he has gone on to a better place & is no longer in pain. Remember that he will always be with you in your heart and memories. It does sound as if his last days were full of love & comfort for all.
Know that I am thinking of you and your family as you now travel through this time of grieving. Please post when you can and know that we are all here for you.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHi Robin,
I can only echo & agree with what everyone else has said. I also want to welcome you and hope we will be hearing more from you.

Dear Mary,
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I don’t really think these feelings ever really will go away. I think in time we just learn to live with them and try to go on. You are so right. If I had time to think about all this, the thought of never being together again would have been unthinkable and unbearable, but now I am faced with just that and we do survive, some days I am not sure how or why, but we do. Having this site and all the wonderful people here sure does help.
I sometimes have a hard time reading and replying as there are so many sad stories. I often wonder why it goes so swiftly for some and others are treated successfully. It does make me feel good to hear about the ones like your Tom who are fighting and winning. It lets others know that there is hope. Hopefully the more that is learned about this cancer, the more successfully people will be treated. We can only hope.
So keep fighting and I hope we can continue to hear good reports from you about Tom’s progress. Take care.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaMarilyn,
Thanks so much for sharing your feelings with me. Everything that you said is what I also am experiencing and feeling. I talk to Jim everyday too. I know we were lucky to have what we had, but I too feel cheated. I wanted more. Everyone thinks I am so strong & dealing with things so well, but that is just on the surface. Inside it still hurts so much and no matter where we go or what we do, we still come home alone. It is all so hard & so sad. Although I would not wish for anyone to have to go through what we are going through, as you said, it does help to know there are others out there who know & understand as no one else can. Take care Marilyn.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaHi Everybody,
Just wanted to drop in & check in on everyone. I think of all of you all the time and hope that things are going as good as can be expected for everyone.
Sue, I don’t think you are mad, I think you are adventerous & give you a lot of credit for trying new things.
Joyce, You do seem to keep yourself busy, which I think is a good thing. We haven’t gotten any snow yet. Saw some slight flurries in the air one day, but that is all so far. I suppose I need to touch base with my plowing guy too one of these days.
It sounds like you both did OK dealing with the end of the first year. It is hard to believe it has been that long, isn’t it? It still is hard to accept that all of this happened, but atleast we all seem to be doing our best with the circumstances we have been given. I, like you Pauline, am trying hard to remember the special things and to focus on all the good times and all the wonderful things we did together. Those memories will never replace having them here with us, but being lucky enough to have them does help.
Janet, I envy you down there in Austinmer with the warmer weather approaching & those wonderful pools to swim in. Here the days are getting shorter and colder & soon the snow will be here again. I am hoping this year won’t be as bad as last year was. I finally got my van back. So that is one less thing I need to deal with. It sure does seem like it is just one thing after another, doesn’t it? I hope things have settled down some for you.
Everyone take care.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaAshley,
Thanks for posting this. My husband too had a needle biopsy done. As Karen said, everything was moving so fast & you didn’t really have a chance to think about it or to say yes or no, but I often wonder if that was part of the reason things went so swiftly.
I too am hoping others will read this & will have a chance to think it through and make a more informed decision on wether or not to have this done.
Thanks again for putting this information out there. I will be hoping for the best for your Mom.
Darla
