I would like a prayer for my mom and my family.
My mom is ready to cross over the Bridge.:( The nurse was here earlier and we are just waiting for the lord to call her home.
Thanks to all of you who have asked about her, said prayers and sent cards to her.
I also want to thank all of you who remembered her on the Christmas card list.
It meant alot to her and to me.
Thanks again.:)
Oh, RICHARD...of course, prayers for her and for you and all the family.
She seemed to be feisty and I hoped she would thrive at home.
{{{{HUGS}}}}.
You're a good son. :love:
Richard, I'm so sorry. Of course you have my prayers. Stay safe.
Prayers for your mom, Richard, may she make her transition peacefully. And prayers for all the requests on this thread, I may not comment every time, but I do catch up on them all & include you guys in my prayers daily.
Oh, Richard, even though she isn't a computer user, we all count your mom as part of the Pet Talk family. May she be comfortable and at peace when the time comes. You will be in our prayers, as is you aunt, Scooter's Mom - any update, how is she doing?

Richard, I consider you to be my cyber son and I guess I'm going to have to settle for giving you a cyber hug. A special candle will be lit for your mom tonight and for you as well. Many prayers are going up that her transition will be peaceful. You're a good son and I wish I could take all the pain away. (((HUGS))) :love:
Sweet peace and blessings to you both. :love:

Lots of prayers and loving thoughts for you and your mum Richard...she is blessed to have a loving son like you!
Words fail, {{hugs}} will have to do. :(:(
{{Richard & family}}
Richard, you and your mom remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)) Now I wish that I had mailed your Christmas card a long time ago. It's also addressed to your mom.:(
Everyone else who requested prayers they're being sent. I always say them every night for all PT'ers.

Thanks to all of you, Your support is amazing and it has kept my head up!
Richard, words fail me sometimes. I send my most heartfelt prayers and some ((hugs)) across the miles. My mom will be there to greet yours, and help her get into a little bit of mischief along the way.

My Aunt Joanne had 2 stents put in on Sunday, 1 Monday and will have another put in on Tuesday. They are doing them sporadically because her heart did receive damage during the heart attack. Her husband, my uncle Kenneth, says that had she not gone to the little hospital in their small town when she did, she would not be here now. God was watching over her.
Dec. 1st was my grandma's birthday. She said it was surely a good day, as her daughter has survived a heart attack and surgery for having stents put in twice. My grandma isn't usually an optimist, so I have to hand it to her. She's taking this well. Aunt Jo isn't out of the woods yet, but I am hoping that she improves.
My grandma had 4 children. This makes the 3rd one who's had a heart attack. My uncle who had a heart attack took really good care of himself - so it appears this is genetic.
Oh gosh Richard, I'm so sorry to hear this news about your mom.
:love: My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone and their families who are having problems right now. :love:
Richard, my heart goes out to you and all of your family. I am so sorry to hear this news. You have my prayers.
MY mom passed this morning at around 10 a.m.
SHe was not in any pain that we could tell and I got to spend most of last night with her by myself.
Again, Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and kindness.
Richard you have been an amazing son............your Mom was blessed.
May God ease your pain.
Richard, I'm so glad that you got to spend most of the night w/her alone. I'm sure it was just as special to her as it was to you. What a wonderful son you are. My heart aches for you. Today is the anniversary of my mother's passing as well, so we share this date in common. God bless you, honey, and of course, I'm here if you need me. :love:Quote:

Remember her with Love and Affection ... and know that
You Did Good, RICHARD.
Big {{{Hugs}}} of Sympathy to you, Bub!
/s/ :( :( Phred
Right now her and my dad are sharing a cup of coffee and eating a Mr and Mrs apple.
LOL and a cookie or two.
I would buy some huge apples and my mom would call them Mr and Mrs Apples.
They were way too big for them to eat alone, so they would share it- A Mr. and Mrs. Apple!
My dad would sit in his spot next to the door with a cup and a stack of cookies. He'd lean on the table with his elbow on top, pluck a cookie from the stack, hold it up to his face and twirl it around before me ate it.
I would laugh at this because he would inspect it with a critical eye before he even took his first bite.
"Is this cookie worth my time?";)
--------------
I think that Dad, Mom and my GF are having a HUGE cuppa cawfee right about now! With Phred's mom's Cookies!!:D
I am very sorry about your mother Richard. It doesn't matter how grown up we are its sure hard to lose our Mom.
RICHARD
{{{{HUGS}}}}:love::love::love::love:
:( Oh No Richard I am so so sorry of your Mother's Passing.. Sending lots of Huggss & Prayers.. RIP Mother
I do not venture to this thread often, but happened to come take a look today.
Richard, I am very sorry to hear about your mom. But your previous post definitely made me smile. It's memories like that which help you through the tough times. :)
Ah, Richard I'm so sorry about your mom. It's never easy to let them go, even though I'm sure you are right: she and your dad are having coffee and catching up on things even now.
Just remember now they will both be keeping a close watch over you (and Eddie too). :love::love::love:
Richard, sending my prayers to you and your family.
Losing a mother is so different from losing any other person in one's life.
Always know I'm here to lend an ear.
((Hugs)) to you,
Crystal
Richard, many loving thoughts and cyber hugs to you....I am sure your mom is watching over you now and feeling proud of you.
Yes, she was, Gini. What perfect words in the midst of a time of grieving.Quote:

And I would also ask that you please remember my husband and his family in your prayers. My MIL has terminal cancer that is inoperable. And our nephew is facing some tough times because of a bad decision earlier this year. Our hope is that some good is going to come from this situation and we already see God at work, performing a miracle, in our little family.
Prayers for all in need.
Logan
It seems everyone needs some extra prayers right now - I suppose it is just the times that we are living in.
Pam, you have my sorrow over the loss of your Mother. No matter what age - losing a mother is one of the most difficult of all.
Logan, you have my prayers for your MIL and your entire family.
My thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone at this time of need.
Logan, thank you so much for letting us know about Pam's Mother and Robyn's Grandmother. I've really missed seeing Pam here lately.
I'm so sorry , Pam and Robyn and families. Please accept my condolences. I'll pray that God gives you all the strength you need during this period of sorrow and grief.
I know this magnificant lady is sadly missed.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}:(
Thank you Logan for your kind remarks. When someone is 99 it is sort of inevitable that they don't have much time left. On the other hand, it is actually because they have been around so long that one just starts to feel that they will always be there. We are doing OK and are praying for your situations too Logan.
Richard and I have noted that we have a couple of things in common - we are both Scorpios and now we have a shared loss. Richard keep those memories of the good times rolling around in your head. Your mom wouldn't want it any other way. (((hugs)))
Pam - hugs to you and Robyn. :love:
Prayers to all that need them.
Sending love, prayers and hugs to Pam, Robyn and Richard, and Logan's nephew! :love:
Sending lots and lots of prayers to everyone that needs them! :(
I wanted to add my prayers for everyone else that needs them.
Gosh, when you have a situation all your own you tend to focus on that.
I am thinking of everyone else who has 'stuff' to worry about.:(
All tests indicate that I have a tumor on one of my parathyroid glands. This causes very high calcium levels, which can cause headaches (as one symptom) and my dr. says he's seen people be diagnosed as clinically crazy from the high calcium levels (where their calcium levels were lower than mine!). I am waiting for a referral to a surgeon who can 1) give me a 2nd opinion and 2) get rid of it. I mostly need prayers for patience.
Oh my goodness Crystal, that sounds scary!!! I hope they can do something to take it all out and make you feel better again! If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you my dear!
My thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone who is need of medical help, emotional help, and just anyone who is in need at this time.
PRAYERS please for Barbara. She has beat back every new spread of cancer from her original diagnosis of breast cancer over six years ago. She and her husband moved to a gorgeous house in southern Alberta, but she had to move back to Calgary in August, as another "lesion" had shown up.
Her husband sends out updates every so often, and this just arrived in my e-mail box, which says it all:

Dear friends and family,
This is another quick update on Barbara and I apologise for the lack of information over the last couple of months. After Barbara moved back to Calgary in late August she experienced a slow but steady decline in her condition which appeared to accelerate in late October at which time I moved back to Calgary to be with her at Mark, Martina and Shimon’s house. Two weeks ago her condition seriously worsened just two days before she was to start a new round of therapy involving Herceptin and Methotrexate, and she had to be transported to the Emergency Department of the Foothills Hospital. She was eventually transferred to the Palliative Care Unit of the Tom Baker Cancer unit (unit 47) where she still is. Tests have shown that the brain tumour is still the same size that it was 9 months ago and that there is no new uptake anywhere else, but she has continued to decline and is now completely unable to walk and finds talking difficult. These symptoms became more acute four days ago following an MRI which lasted about an hour and which appears to have traumatized her. The only physical change observed from the MRI was a very local spread of the cancer from the left cerebellum into the adjacent Meninges, but there be other non-detectable sites. We have a meeting with the oncologists and the rest of the medical team tomorrow to review the situation and perhaps we shall find out if and when she might be able to start treatment. At the moment Barbara is really not up to receiving visitors and if you plan to come to the hospital I should be grateful if you could phone me first to ascertain the current situation (either at Mark’s or my cell phone xxx-xxx-xxxx I am at the hospital all day). Barbara has greatly appreciated and has benefited from all your messages and visits up to this time and we hope that she will again be able to receive visitors again soon. She is still the indomitable Barbara that we all know and love and is still fighting hard, but after six and a half years and three previous surmounted metastases I fear that she is weakening, but we all still have great hope.
With love and best wishes,
Peter
Barbara and Peter attended church regularly where I go. They were well-loved. Barbara was nonchalant about arriving with her bald head - she might wear a light hat in summer.
One year she was participating in the Run for Breast Cancer, though she planned only to walk. She announced this from the pulpit, and cheerfully asked for donations, saying, "I know I've got you all in a half-Nelson standing up here with my bald head!" Of course all who could donated. How could we not? :)
She has taken good vitamins, done her homework, kept healthy and positive about all. It's often suggested to people who will lose all their hair due to chemo or other treatments that they have their hair all cut off before, as it gives one a sense of control over that, at least.
Barbara told me that she and Peter had candles and soft music - and he cut her hair off for her. I get a bit of LES thinking of how loving a moment that was for both.
Barbara has always been an inspiration to me. The night before her mastectomy, she held a "Bye Bye Boob" party. :D That inspired me to have a Bye Bye Period party last year before my hysterectomy.
She and Peter need huge PT Prayers, they can work miracles.
THANK YOU.:love:
