Just checking in

I haven't been online here in such a long time. My father had a heart attack on March 11th. A few weeks later, he had a stroke, and then some major seizures. Soon after that, they discovered a "mass" in his brain. The next day, he had a massive bleed in his brain. He died, after much suffering, on June 17th. I'm just trying now to figure out how to live without my Papa here on earth. It's been a real struggle. Needless to say, my weight loss has been the furthest thing from my mind recently. I did get on the scales this morning for the first time in a while and learned that I guess I'm now in the century club. It's time for me to get focused again and get back in the gym. I worked out again on Monday, and it sure felt good. I'm glad Papa got to see me healthier and happier. He was proud of me for finally facing my obesity and doing something about it. Please keep me and my family in your prayers. Catherine

Awwww.... Catherine... Many, many hugs and warm thoughts coming your way. I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your father. He is with God now, and not uncomfortable anymore... Plus, maybe he is hangin' out with my Daddy talking about how great their daughters are doing with their WLS!!! Your definitely in my prayers, Susan

Catherine, I was 37 years old when my daddy died and I felt like a little lost kid !! That was 19 years ago, and I still think of him everyday. But I always try to remember the good times and not those last few years when he was so sick. I pray that time will help ease the pain your family is feeling now. Judy
