Worse Than An IA

Sorry for your loss, Elle. 

I'm sorry for your losses, Courtney & elle. 

Andee, do keep us posted on your dad's situation - thinking of you.

Hugs pb and Mrs.R 

I just spoke with my mom, she's still waiting to hear back from my dad after his appointment with the oncologist.  She did say my dad is optimistic as it seems it hasn't spread too much.  But then she jokingly said, "But he was on painkillers when he said it".  What can I say, my family has a black sense of humor.  Then my sister was going to rush down to Florida from Pennsylvania but my dad told her not to and said, "What for?  I'm not doing to die tomorrow!"

Don't know if it's a Jewish thing or just my crazy family, but at least the lines of communication are open and people are trying to see the light side of things (seems nuts to me, but better than hyserics). 

Big hugs for all you guys right now!!  Sorry for the losses and sad news! Will be thinking of you all!

Me, too! *HUGS* all around. Thinking of you all. 

Thanks everyone. The calling hours were tonight and the funeral is tomorrow. I feel awful I can't be there, but at least had a good cry the other night to get a lot of it out of my system. I just have a feeling I'll go through it all over again when talking to my family after the funeral. 

Andee, I hope the best for your dad. *hugs*

Goodness. All my sympathies to Elle and Courtney. This is exactly the thing that I am most worried about... However I have to remind myself that if even if I were on the other side of the country, it could happen, too (not being able to be there for the funeral).  

Andee, I hope the news for your dad is positive! I think having a good, positive attitude is one of the most important weapons when recovering!

Hugs to everyone who needs one!

Sorry to hear of family losses.  And hope your dad's spirits will keep him buoyed up, Andee.

Just catching up on all of this.  Hugs to all.

Andee, I hope it's good news for your dad soon and in the long run.

Thanks for all the hugs and support ladies. 

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. The funeral was yesterday and it was very beautiful and moving.

Hugs for you Elle. I know how surreal it is to not be able to attend in person and yet still have the grief to deal with.

Andee, I love that your dad is fighting back with optimism and humour. Powerful stuff! 

Sorry to hear about your dad, Andee. I hope he will be ok. I will keep him in my thoughts.

Sorry for your losses, Courtney and Elle. I adore my mother in law, I would be beyond sad if we lost her.

My cousin gets the results from her MRI and other tests today to see what stage she is in and what the treatment schedule will be. I got to spend a fun day with her while I was in Dallas and she was scared but optimistic. I hope it goes well for her today.

We just found out yesterday that while we were away, one of DH's good friends was in a terrible car accident and is in critical condition with abdominal injuries and his two children, aged 8 and 10, are in critical condition with brain injuries. We are hoping at least his kids will survive, if he lives and they don't he would be devastated. :'(

Oh no 

So sorry about all the recent posts.

Jewlz, I hope your DH's friend and kids recover. That must be heartbreaking.

Sorry to hear about your DH's friend and his kids, Jewlz. 

Also, I hope your friend's MRI results give her every reason to be optomistic. Positive thoughts for her!
