Comments: As several classmates have said, others have expressed our sentiments very eloquently. We all feel the same way. Nicely said Ronney & Linda! Toni, as you & I have discussed, our Moms both passed away about the same time. It will be 14 yrs tomorrow for my Mom. And yes, I still find myself wanting to run in here and call her to get her opinion about something! It's an emptiness that never goes away.
Comments: Barbara and Donnie, thanks for letting us know the status. Doctors just have best timing, don't they! Hopefully, you'll the OK to come back home and see the cardiologist.
Comments: Barb, I'm happy to know Donnie is better but I'm really glad that you are going to pursue further testing and more medical opinions to be certain. I'm praying for the best results. Ada Ann, I couldn't say it more eloquently than my other classmates have said it today. Just know that I am shedding a tear with you today and love you very much.
Comments: SNL, thanks for letting us know about Donnie. Like Susan, I was on pins and needles all day yesterday. Bruce was really shocked when I told him. I hope Barbara makes him follow doctors' orders. Ada, as for what Ronney and Linda P said...they couldn't have said it better or with more feeling. I understand your thoughts about there being a mistake made by Him. Not only was my mom my mother but she was my very best friend in the world. It's been 14 years and I still have times when I walk to the phone to call her to share something with her...and I still remember her phone number to this day. When I do that, it is my belief that she somehow already knows....and then I smile. 
Comments: Just wanted to check in and let everyone know how much we appreciate all of your concerns. Don is doing OK this morning, of course his Dr is out of town so we cannot get in here. We are trying to get an appointment with his cardiologist in Dallas. Just want an OK from the Dr that Don is OK and is going be ready for the golf game in June  .Ada, Don and I are praying for your Mom and for you. We both know how difficult it is to watch your parents decline in health and independence. I prayed for the end for both of my parents but it did not happen until it was time for them to be in HIS loving hands. We love you and will keep the prayers going.
Comments: Ada Ann -- You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'll be praying for God's will. My 23 yr old daughter and I were driving to MainFest in Ft. Worth Friday afternoon and I showed her my t-shirt from the cancer race in Duncanville that my sorority was hosting this past Sat. On the back of the t-shirt I showed her that my mother's name was on the back of the t-shirt (with many others) and that I had given a donation in memory of her. My daughter started crying and asked me how I got through losing my mother -- that when I died she didn't know how she would get through it. After thinking about it, I gave her my best answer. It took me a long time to live with the loss; you just learn to live with it and go on. They always live in your heart, and knowing that they are not suffering and in Heaven gives comfort. I always lived near my parents and saw them most every day, so there was also a big void to go through. It's not easy.
Comments: That's good news on the Don front. Ada, we know that this is the hardest thing that any of us go through. The ones we have always known as "being in charge" are no longer and we can't step up and do for them. It is so hard. Hope you can feel the thoughts, prayers and love coming your way and hope that will help some. Sandy McM, I thought the silver turban got you immediate seating at all Indian restaurants and the right to order off the menu. The gold turban is required for entrance to the VIP area. (turn down the camel, they are NASTY creatures)
Comments: Ada, I feel your pain in your writing. I have been there, so I am one who knows what you are feeling. You mentioned that the Lord might not be ready for her just yet. His will WILL be done. But, not taking her to be with Him now may not be for her. Perhaps it is for you and her other loved ones. God often uses these times to bring us closer to Him. it is OK to question the Lord. He doesn't even mind if we yell and scream at him. He uses those times to reach us. So, besides grieving and hurting for your mom, take time to realize that He loves your mom and He loves you. Realize that He knows what grief is and he is there to comfort you. And, realize every minute of the day that you will be with your mom again. I pray that she is not suffering, that she is not totally aware of what is happening to her body. And, I pray that God embraces you and holds you in His hands. Put all of your sorrows and worries in His hands. Your mom is already in His hands. We (your classmates) love you very much.
Comments: Ada, I do know what you are going through, it was the same with both my parents. I would just go home and cry, never letting them see anything but the positive side. Never questioned. Did ask God to take my mother. My heart and prayers go out to you. Love ya, Sandy
Comments: You & your Mom are always in my thoughts & prayers Ada Ann. And yes, sometimes it good to talk & let out the frustrations & fear. We're here to listen & console. I love you!
Comments: Thank you, SNL. Sandy McM, Mother is getting weaker and weaker. This woman who would (at 70 years of age) drive ALONE from Dallas to CA can no longer do anything for herself. She has no dignity or privacy. Those of you who have gone through this know what I mean. I think that this lack of independence for her bothers me the most. The quality/quantity issue is really showing...I know that I am not suppose to question His decisions, but on this one, I don't understand. I still pray Thy will be done, so I guess He is not ready for her. Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks for letting me talk....I needed it this morning.
Comments: Ms. Sandra Mc, he ain't got any.....don't tell him you have a two hump anything, the boy will move back to Dallas.
Comments: DWF and Main Squeeze, told ya he's tough as a boot. He's putting all of us on, wants to come home and take a golf lesson with me. I need a helper, $8.00 hr., plus lunch, come on home, plenty of exercise and a suntan included.
Comments: That's good news about Donnie. Barb, you and Donnie are both in my prayers. Good to do follow up! Ada, how's your Mom? McGee, I may get a two hump camel and a magic carpet. Want'a ride  ? JD, don't get too much sun on the golf course, you're not use to the weather. Be sure and let us know how many balls you loose.
Comments: Sandy, thanks for letting us know about Barbara and Donnie. I've been on pins and needles all day! |
