Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Bless your heart. You have the spirit of a saint.. It isn't easy to always be the one who takes care of the others. I was the youngest in my family 4 older sisters & brother (oldest). All but one have gone . I actually took care of my mom & my sisters & brother had family (children ) who took care of them. BUT . I was the one they all came to & made the decisions-had all the family reunions, holidays, funeral arrangements , etc..Not fun. You are having even more to do as you do have 3 kiddo's withCF. I hold you in my prayers each day , as I also hold so many.. I do also know many others look to you as their mentor. Your sense of humor & Dana's is terrific & a big leveler for each of us. Oh, I know you wont do anything drastic. Besides the pillow's fibers, it could also make a mess in the room & really screw up the vacuum cleaner. Lord knows , you cant sweep them up either :) I meant it when I said I have the light on. Getting away sometimes helps to look at situations & think about how to change or move out of them. So call, whenever you want. LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV. Would you like a Bill Nye tape?? Bill Nye Bev - Do you think you could send me BILL NYE? Maybe he could do my kids treatments...LOL I agree with n - its a fluke, luck of the draw, luck of the Irish, etc. Although its beyond me why all these flukes keep following me and many people with CF. Half my family died or are in remission with cancer the other half in denial.....but not me ...I am the idiot whose feet are planted firmly on the ground. I know that I will live to be 100. Everyone around me will die but not ME I will have CAREGIVER embrioded on my forehead!!!!! First my mother, which was long and awful, then my Dad, now my kids........if my dog gets sick I am jumping LOL........Why, Why can't it be my husband?????? I sometimes feel that is the only way I will get rid of the basturd......not to worry I won't take things into my own hands. I know the pillow leaves FIBERS. LOL LOL Rosemary in NY with 3 children (13, 10.11 and 7) with CF. I have a dog named TOBI and have coined the phrase " BREATHE DAMMIT " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Rosemary, Dito to Grandma Bev's offer. You are always welcome to come visit Ohio and stay at my house. You'd have the house to yourself during the day. Your kids would love all of the video games and computers that my son has. Think about it. Gale > > Bless your heart. You have the spirit of a saint..
