Re: OT: a couple updates from me

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

You have a great attitude.  I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's and

grandaughter's illness. I hope she has good medical care there in Tx. So glad

you had a memory making camping trip. Great news.

Chat will work out eventually. These emails are better sometimes than quick chat

mail anyway. Less chance for what a person wants to say to become miscontrued. 

That's too bad about your ex. Will pray he has healing and the doctors can fix

that growth. and of course your daughter and grandaughter will be in prayers

too.

I know how the distance can make us so sad and miss our loved ones. Especially

daughters and Moms. Hang in there. Any chance of a visit any time soon?  It is

too bad it has to be this way though, really is. That must have been some phone

call with all that news though.  Do you skype with each other?  The yahoo

instant messanger has a nice video chat feature that I prefer over skype if you

care to try it out.

Best of the best, you know I'll also be there with you while you walk along by

the creek. Just be careful ok?

All the love in the world to you,

there is one of the best but they will have to try and reverse the thyroid

function with the radioactive iodine treatment. My other granddaughter that is

17 also had a medical situation a couple weeks ago as well. So it was quite a

Oh ,

I'm so sorry to hear about all the health troubles your daughters are going

through at the moment. It's so hard to be so far away. My daughter lives

in the Republic of Georgia teaching english.. and longs for home off and

on, and then doesn't right now she's in Nepal.

We suffer as parents in ways our kids never know until they're parents

themselves.. but we don't stop then, either!

Take the hope and strength this group sends... it's wonderful and

uplifting, and rely on us all as you need to.

Love,

Wow . What a lot to deal with. I am sure you are very sad right now and

are needing a lot of prayers and strength at this time. I hope only for the

best. Stay strong and positive. It is all you and any of us can do right now.

Big hugs,

Hi everyone,

Let me say thank you for the wishes for a good camping trip. It was a good week

for me and for the first time in years I was able to help unload, set up, and

contribute the whole time. It felt good and was also appreciated for the

progress from just four years ago by all.

One group thing is that the chat room being talked about while I was gone was a

new one we were trying and it didn’t seem to fly very well so our team is

trying another ;0) Thank you everyone for your input, patience and

understanding. I have to say I missed chat tonight because it’s been a hard

day for me.

and a half and that he is a good man. Our relationship lasted 18 years and we

are civil. He was diagnosed with a tumor on the side of his face a couple of

weeks ago and goes for his biopsy the 18th. Whether it’s benign or malignant
