thank you so much

Thank you, Ladies for your very kind words and comforting thoughts as I wrote about the passing of my cousin. I was blaming myself because I felt as though I had convinced her into having surgery. I know the choice was hers alone and nothing I said put the seal on her decision. I also know that she had a diagnosed blood clot years ago and the surgery just put too much stress on her system. It is sad and tragic and always so very difficult. I feel like I've lost a friend. Knowing that you all care enough to respond and show your support means so much. I hope that where ever you are you are happy, warm and safe. XOXO Denise

Denise, I feel so close to the people in the February board. We are family. We can feel each other's pain and offer support as a token of our caring since we cannot give hugs in person. At least that is how I feel and I assume the others feel the same. I received so many kind replies to my post on my mother's passing. It has soo helped me to cope. I know you are sad, you will be for a while as you work through your grief. I don't believe that time cures all. In time I hope the pain will lessen for us both. Warmly, Paula

Thank you, Paula. How are you doing since the death of your mother? Denise

Denise...Thanks for asking. I'm feeling lost. It's hard to explain really. It's like I am soo sad I feel upset in my tummy. Does that make sense? It's just so strange to think I won't be seeing her for quite a while (i hope). I hope you are doing a little better. One day at a time. Paula
