a semi-good day

From what my family tells me, his day was tiring, but not too bad.  His back is none too happy about being bedridden for so long, so they had to give him some pain medication and muscle relaxers for it.  They made him drowsy, but better.

He's pretty much leveled out for the time being.  His vitals are stable and he is able to talk to us some.  He ( Read more... )

So I have acutually been trying to think of some comment to lwave, or something to say that wuold not sound trite or cliched, and kindness and comfort are nor emotions that I am finding an easy time to express at all, so I am not sure if I even still have come up with anything of value.
About six years ago my grandmother was dying from lung cancer. It was so hard watching her waste away, and it still brings a shudder and an ache, ultimately my family had to make a very similar desicion. I am not going to say thigns get easyer, because that enver gives me any reliefe so I don't think ti really is all that comforting, but what I will say is that things get easyer as the days pass. I cannot truly know what it is like in your shoes right now, but I know whatever comes you can handle it. I am so srry your family has to go through this.
Later man

I appreciate your words pm_trombley July 2 2006, 05:43:25 UTC
One of the most frustrating things to hear is "I know how you feel," when you know damn well they don't. Sharing a story like the one you did shows me an increased level of understanding, which is nice.

I especially appreciate your belief that "whatever comes to me, I can handle it." That speaks highly of your opinion of me. Thank you for letting me know.

I'm sorry my friend.

Prayers and supportive thoughts are going out to you and your family. If there is anything you need (and I can possibly provide) please do not heasitate to ask.

Big hugs to all of you!

It's good to hear from you. My parents once again send their well wishes and prayers. I am praying for peace for your dad every day. It's great to hear that you've been able to have some good conversation and laughter most of all.

This may seem like an odd thought, but did you and your brother do anything for your dad for father's day? I can't think of a better reason or time to tell him everything that he's meant to you and done for you. I'm sure it goes without saying, but I've always been a person of ceremony.

My best wishes to you and your family.
Love ya babe.

ps. As far as the mail's concerned...looks like it's junk actually. More notices about consolidation...no worries.
