I am very aware what cancer does. I sat by both my parents bedside as they died from it.I believe everyone handles it differently. My father died first. He was told he had cancer & he went home & went to bed & waited for it to take him.(it took 2yrs.) He wasn't ill when he was told. He just wrote life off after being told. He had us do everything for him. I mean everything. My mother was told 4 yrs.later.She was given 6mos.(she lasted 6wks.) But she lived the most she could until she couldn't stand anymore. She didn't take to the bed till 1 wk.before she died. She was always a big beleiver..she was glad to be going home.

where's Beth? how come she is hiding? is she afraid of me???

How are you Jimmy? do you hear any from kim? I wonder what has happened to him??

hahaha. That is an interesting question though...how will we know each other?

My stepdad passed away earlier this year and I made sure that I wrote him a letter with everything I wanted to say (the cancer also took his hearing).  I spent as much time with him as I could.  Other than that, there isn't much you can do but provide a shoulder when needed.  For yourself, try to say what is in your heart so you have no regrets when it is too late.  I know he just appreciated people taking the time to stop by & visit with no talk about the cancer - we all knew that is why they stopped by but he just liked to BS with them. Take care.

Don't forget lunch on Sunday at Panera.....74th ish and Dodge....1pm can't wait to meet everyone!!
