I don't have time to post and read right now, but I want to thank everyone for your love and support.
There are a lot of things going on away from the board right now.
My brother's doctor's have said there is nothing more they can do. He is 29 and has leukemia. He has been given a few weeks or months. He lives across the ocean and... I'm sorry, I had to stop to cry. ...I will likely never see him again. (I still have my other brother). Please keep my brother and his wife in your prayers.
Sweetheart's Mom spent a week in the hospital with Pneumonia. She didn't know where she was and who people were. They found a large mass behind her heart, but at that time were unable to do additional testing because she did not have the strength. Please keep Sweetheart's Mom and the family in your prayers.
My 89 year-old Grandma is doing the best. She is recovering from her fall where she fractured her pelvis in three places. She spent some time in a nursing home and is now home and my Mom is staying with her. I went home for a few days to help prepare for Gram's return home. The doctor's were amazed at her recovery--she credits 20+ years of water excercise class. In addition, I credit her positive attitude along with a lack of fear of death. She's a beautiful and inspirational woman. Please keep Gram in your prayers, and Gram is most concerned with one of my younger cousins having trouble handling Gram's recent series of injuries and eventual death--at 89 things can change as fast as an MLCer changes his mind. So please keep my cousin in your prayers; her father (my Uncle) died of Melanoma when she was only 11.
Sweetheart's mother's serious condition is exacerbating his depression. She spent her hospitilization at the hospital where the OW is employed--thus there has been greater OW contact. I am praying.
