I was here three years ago Cynthia but was lucky to be within driving distance to Dad as he spent his last weeks in hospital, it's a hard time, thankful that you can Skype him. Love and hugs always my friend xxx
I am so very sorry for you and your family Cynthia! This is a horrible thing to go through. Especially not being there with him and your family. And the holiday timing probably doesn't help either. I do not know what to say or do. I am sorry for waiting to respond to this. I wasn't in the right mental state to handle this earlier so I did not yet open this thread. But I know the world doesn't revolve around me and there are many people out there that need hugs and kisses and love and warmth. You deserve it right now.
I am so sorry for all that you are going through! I know how hard it is when a parent is sick. Sending good thoughts your way.
@MrsPeel Cynthia, how are you doing? Please know you are in my thoughts... take care and keep on being sweet and strong. Hugs all the way from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Cynthia, I am so sorry that you are going through this! I'm know dealing with just your own health issue must be very stressful, but on top of that the loss of your father as well. My heart breaks for you. I lost my mom two years ago due to Pancreatic Cancer, my 46 year old cousin the following year and his brother (only 41) this year both to heart failure. It is so tough to lose those you love! I pray you are able to get medical help for your condition. Praying wisdom for the doctors as well as comfort and compassion for you during this trying time. <3
so sorry to read all of this!! It has to be such a difficult time for you and your family! I lived this year sth similar with my grandparents so I know how you feel. I know you are strong! Sending you a lot of love and hugs!!
Cynthia, I did not see this post, I was so busy with the holidays. But, my prayers for your Father's comfort, and strength for you and Sarita during this difficult time.
thanks so much, once again So much has been going on, I think I have prayed more in the past 20 days than ever, taking one step at the time, trying to get to the cause of the Heart Failure is proving more than difficult, but some of my prayers have been answered as I got approved for a hydro therapy I have been fighting for in the past 10 months, I got upgraded to new pain killers which I'm trying to balance as I want to be able to drive, so I can go back to work. Very (very) long story with my dad, he showed some improvement and is now more lucid, my mum was admitted too, after she spent 12 days staying there with him and sleeping in a sofa in his room, she is 81 so now the doctors have forbidden her to spend the night there, but we are blessed with the whole family taking turns to stay with him. Sarita has tonsillitis and had very high temperature a couple of days ago, she is improving a lot now, and , in a way (even if it may seem a bit selfish from my part) is kind of a blessing on disguise as she wont be going out tonight. I know we are blessed with so much, not just a roof over our heads and a fridge full of food, a family that may not be all perfect but in it's core has amazing people whom we love beyond blood, plus those who have become as vital and treasured as the blood ones, I have friends of 40+ years of being close who are always present, Sarita has made solid friendships with some people who are a blessing too, and in this kind of family, I am rich beyond words with this community, and some of you very, very special indeed, I treasure each and everyone of you, Hope you all had the best Christmas, and that the new year brings you all the very very best.
Please know that you and your precious family are in my thoughts and prayers Cynthia! You are loved!!
(((Hugs))) Cynthia. So glad to hear your father has had some improvement. Hope your hydro therapy goes well. Keeping all of you in my thoughts.
Love you my dear friend. Sorry your Mom was admitted too, but glad that she will take it easier too, and glad your Dad is more lucid. That I know is a comfort for you. Sorry Sarita is sick, but as you said a blessing in disguise as she will be home with you as you ring in 2018. Keeping you, Sarita and your family in my prayers, for a happy and healthy New Year my friend! XO
Been thinking about you so much and I am always so relieved when you come and update us. Hang in there, friend. I know life hasn't always been kind to you but you are loved more than you know.
