To all of you that are sending cards, etc. Thank you very much.
(I cried after my visit with him...you all have just TOUCHED my heart so much!!!)


Please, Please don't forget to mail him a Christmas card. He is collecting/saving all of the notes, cards. He re-reads them!!!
Hi Debbie,

I hope you are feeling better today. It is a rainy Thursday here in South Alabama. I am trying so hard to get into the Christmas spirit and it is not working out so well. Time is passing too fast for me to get everything done that needs doing!!!!
Have a good day!!!

Hey Deb,
Thanks so much for getting this address to me. I'll send this off this morning.
I know what you mean about getting in the Christmas spirit. I love Christmas and I love giving and I love celebrating the birthday of the King. But, this year has been tough and not because of my cancer. My daughter and her family are going through a very rough financial time and it hurts me seeing them have to go through this. Chris works at Hyundai so the first bad news was his hours being cut. No more overtime either which was really keeping them afloat. So, they are short on funds and then the plumbing messes up. Something has collapsed on the pipes under the house so that means a backhoe and lots of manpower and labor time. The cost will be over $2000.00 IF they don't have to go in through the house which means cutting through the floor. I don't have the money to help and I guess that is what hurts me the most. Tara is seriously thinking about letting the house go and the vehicles. Leo has never been a parent so he doesn't understand why I'm so emotional about this. DUH!! Men!! She is going to take Christmas presents back and borrow some money from my mom to get enough money to pay $1000.00 upfront IF 2000.00 is all they are going to charge. If it's more then she's going to consider other options - declaring bankruptcy, etc. Anyway, I'm just depressed for them and can't even fall back on Leo. If my husband were alive he would do anything he could to help them out. I know that we have to let go but there are times when our kids need us and every parent wants to be able to say yes. Leo has the money but doesn't let it go and I wouldn't even ask him because he's made it clear that there's nothing we can do to help them. So, I sit here and cry and worry. I don't even feel like I can ask God to help them because they aren't in church and it doesn't look like they even want to be. Please help me pray for them Debbie. Pray for me as well. There are other things going on as well but they are too personal to mention.
I love you and Jimmy and believe in your prayers so please add Tara, Chris and me to your list.
Love you girl,
