(((((KIM))))) I will pray for you, your Dad and everyone else in your family. It will not be easy for y'all and I feel for you. Yes you do need to be strong for your Daddy, but you need to make sure you have some support there for you as well. I know your husband is not very supportive right now so I am hoping that there will be others in your family that will be there for you. If you need anything, feel free to give me a call. And I am sure everyone else here on the LA OH board feels the same way. You are not alone with all of us backing you up. Take care and hope to hear from you soon with an update on your Dad. T--resa

Kim, I am praying that you get strength to deal with everything. I lost my mother almost 9 years ago and I still cry when I think about it. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 -118 lbs.

DEAR LYNN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.....I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT FEELING.... CONGRATS ON YOUR GREAT WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS.....YOU ARE DOING GREAT!' THANK YOU AGAIN, WITH MUCH LOVE AND HUGS, KIM

(((((Kim))))) Many prayers for you and your family. Cherish every minute with your dad. My dad died very suddenly 4 1/2 years ago. We had no time to prepare, as if you can every prepare for such a thing, no last hugs or kisses. Take care of yourself! Debbie

DEAR DEBBIE, THANKK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRAYERS. I SO APPRECIATE YOU AND ALL ON HERE THAT ARE GIVING PRAYERS...IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME! I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, I STILL DON'T THINK I WILL BE PREPARED BUT I WILL BE AS STRONG AS I CAN BE. I DO CHERISH EVERY MOMENT WITH HIM. THANK YOU AGAIN... TAKE CARE! WITH MUCH LOVE AND HUGS, KIM

Kim, Baby, Baby....This is one of lifes hardest parts, You are so blessed to be able to spend what you believe to be some important final days with you father. Theres time to reflect and cherish and finalize....Many of us aren't granted this precious time. I could just SLAP Jody silly! SORRY, he just needs to be compassionate now! What the hell is wrong with these stone statues that call themselves macho-men. How hard is it to hold, hug, say its going to be OK. (EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO FAKE IT)!!!! Give and take, not take and take! Well, we've all said it, and you know it...we're here, we always are! Bath in your fathers love! Rejoice in all your precious memories. His love will blanket you and protect you for ever! The tightest HUGGS for you sweety!

Kim.... OH wow honey, I'm so sorry... I've been so wrapped up in my own emotions and work lately, that I hadn't even checked the boards... {{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} I will be thinking of you and sending thoughts of peaceful days and nights to each of you. I know it's not a great comfort to you now, facing even shorter time than you hoped... but you have a blessing that so many will envy... you have your chance to say everything you need to... Take advantage of it... don't let things go unsaid... and help your daughter to reach out and do that too. It will help you both to grow, and love, and live... Thank him for his guidance and lessons... and help him accept that finding peace is OK! {{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}

It was nice talking with you Kim, let me know if there is anything I can do for you! Just know that you are in my prayers... huggs, Traci P (texas)
