Although, last night she bled out from her incision and had to have a blood transfusion. So she won't be released today. :( She is not happy with the staff at this hospital, and it's supposed to be a good hospital. Stanford!
Annnnnnnd... it was on the January City Council meeting agenda, but because the paperwork was submitted and processed in time, it has been moved up to the December meeting! That means the money arrives a month earlier than expected and some of the creditors get paid ... whew! Thank you PT!Quote:

Merry Christmas everyone!! :D
Sending prayers out to everyone who needs them and hoping that your gatherings are full of happiness and void of all the family BS......
Make it a point to repair at least one bad relationship this season.
;)
It's a real cheap gift and a sign that you are bigger than any problem they had with YOU before hand....;)
Amen!
Bless you all!:D
I would also like to send out holiday thoughts and prayers to all those that need them.
Richard has some great advice. Life is too short for ongoing squabbles. My wish for the new year is that we can all get along and have peace on this earth.:)
I did not get to visit her...I was near there, and the computer jobs went late into the night. I hope she forgives me - and that the people I spoke with passed on my love to her, as I asked. :(

Dear Family and Friends,
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Barbara peacefully died at 0220 this morning. I was with her at the end holding her hand, and have just helped staff members wash her: she asked me to do this a number of years ago and I found that doing so gave me great comfort. We have shared with you her amazing journey during the last six and a half years and in many ways we had come to expect yet another miraculous recovery, but it was not to be and she has finally found rest. We shall start to make funeral arrangements today and I shall let you all know them when they are finalized. One again I have to thank you all for your support throughout Barbara’s journey and particularly for the amazing number of visits to see Barbara and for all your messages of support that we have received during the last month. There is much that I could and will say but now is not the time. Barbara has left a significant number of poems that she has written over the last 20 years and I should like to share two that are poignantly apt for this time although she wrote them in January 1995. They are the second and third poems of a longer piece entitled “Triptych for Myself”
With all my love,
Peter

SPIRAL
So cool, so calm is the geological,
Biological analysis
Of life and death.
So, I’m a mere blip in the scheme of things!
There’s nothing in the future for me?
The world is as unaffected by me
As it was before my first infant yell?
Can you not see the stinging tears
The wrenching fear of the death times?
If you had ever learned to love,
You’d know what you could lose.
Your glib logic negates my thinning skin.
I see the signs of change
As clear as puberty ever was.
Yes, you have it all wrapped up,
Tidy, swept, arranged,
But my will, my desire is to
Rage against the dying of the light.
I knock all your logic
In the scatter of my anger.
Can you not hear Lear rail
Against the contentious storm,
The pelting rain
Of assured destiny?
NEXUS
Did you forget how love feels?
A dawning, a disbelief
That this is for you;
You surface and dive again
Into trembling anticipation.
Can you not remember how
You walked alone and
Learned the shape and sound
Of every tree?
How you loved the tallest two,
How you whispered secrets
And felt their wisdom?
That was for always,
Love is for always;
The line of smiles is no empty metaphor.
It is how the trees might remember you
After you are gone.
Be still
Take comfort
And rage no more
Barbara Sherrington
July 29, 1947 – December 27, 2008
I'm sure that Barbara feels that no forgiveness is necessary. She knows how you felt about her and I'm also sure that your messages were passed on to her. I'm sorry for your loss, Candace. I wish you peace and am giving you a big cyber (((HUG))) right now. :love:Quote:

Also those poems touched my heart so much...i wanted to read and reread to really grasp the special meaning it sends,she was an amazing person to write such lovely poems.:love:
And one final update: The City Council acted on the favorable recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. So, after the New Year, some of the creditors get paid and some of the evil calls to my dad and my brother will go away. There are no words to tell you what a HUGE relief this is. Thank you PT!Quote:

Candace, Barbara's poems are such a lovely gift, very moving. So sorry for your loss.
Elyse, I'm so glad its all working out for your dad & brother. They will be able to put this in the past and move on to new beginnings - a perfect start for the New Year!
Prayers going out to everyone.
I would like to ask one too. A neighbor of ours was taken by ambulance a week ago with a bad case of pneumonia,her name is Angie, she is still in icu on a ventilator. She is only 50, smokes a lot and out of shape but only 50. They have induced a coma so she can heal, her identical twin sister is my daughters best friends mom and she is worried sick, identical twins have a special bond and I would like prayers for her too, her name is Bunny.
I am not sure what to do to help, I am thinking once she is home to take some food every few days.
I don't always post responses in here but I do keep up with this thread, and I am always prayers for all of the prayer requests here.
If you have a moment, could you please add us to your prayers. Ty was in the ER yesterday (New Years Day) because he had bloody stool and and high fever. They took some tests, and they think it's just anal fissures (like adult hemmoroids) but we are not entirely sure yet. Could you guys just keep him in prayer? Thank you!
Jenbkr, Prayers for Ty on the way. Keep us posted.
Thank you! He seems to be doing better, his fever is down and he's getting into everything and playing again. We see the doctor tomorrow. Thanks for the prayers!Quote:

He will be wearing a helmet for awhile and I believe they will be inserting a replacement piece to his skull down the road. They are hoping to be able to wake him up sometime this week. He is a young guy and I pray that he can make it thru this and recover with minimal if any permanent brain damage. Please keep him, his family and friends in your prayers.
3catcondo-
that sounds so horrible...for him and his family.
prayers are on the way...i hope to God he has no brain injurys from this.
i said to my husband New Years Eve that i hope we hear that noone got hurt tonight in the morning news.
this is why i don't like New Years Eve.I always know that someone somewhere will get hurt bad.
that poor guy.:(
Prayers:love:
I have an interview tomorrow for a job that I'm pretty well qualified for and it is only 4 miles from my house. I would LOVE to work at this facility because it has a good reputation. Please pray that either it will go well, or if not, that something else will come my way. But this would be sweet indeed.
Thank you all very much,
Elyse
Prayers & sibe vibes headin your way, Elyse. Good luck!;)
Could ya'll say a prayer for my granny? I know I've asked for prayers for her before... but her little sister, my great Aunt Betty, passed away Tuesday night at the age of 75. My granny can't make it to the funeral services, because they are too far away and granny says she is "too crippled" to go. Granny's just having such a hard time with all of her own health issues and my aunt having the heart attack and 4 surgeries since Thanksgiving. And now her baby sister passing away.
Thank you so much.
Huge prayers for your Granny...I hope she feels as okay as possible about not being able to go. Her baby sister understands, I am sure...
Prayers for you, too - I hope you can see your medical people soon and get some things figured out so YOU feel better asap.
Hugs and prayers to all.
A prayer for my friend, Wendy. Her father passed away, suddenly, this morning of congestive heart failure. They thought he had the flu, he was on meds for that, and he went to bed last night, and never woke up this am. He was a good man, although ornery, but a doting father and recently a grandpa.
He was taken way too suddenly.
I never want to be a frequent poster here in this thread, but...
My sister has breast cancer and went in for her first round of chemo today.
I talked to her and she's pretty upbeat about the whole process.
Can I get some good vibes and prayers coming my way?
Also, My brother is a complete arse H.
God forgive me for being a jerk, but I have nothing but dislike in my heart for him. A prayer for him to maybe see the 'light' or not to be such and Arse Hat might help?
Goodness, Richard, you've had more run-ins w/that awful disease, haven't you? Of course, special prayers are going up for your sister right now. Her first name? And him, too, sure. :love:Quote:

I would really appreciate some famous Pet Talk prayers for my older brother.
After so many tests we can't even count them - he will be having heart surgery tomorrow at Scripps Institute. Offering some prayers for a good outcome of the surgery would be deeply appreciated.
And you can be sure that I always include all Pet Talk requests for prayers in my nightly prayers or randomly through out a day as I think of them.
Hugs to all!!
Gini
I'm sending thoughts and prayers to all that need them.
Hang on, Left Coast GranMom ... we're >rinngin< God rite now!Quote:

I've posted a couple of threads that I am looking for work, and I am supposed to hear back about a job that I really want today (they told me they would decide by the 15th and let people know by the end of the week... that can only mean today :p).
Please pray that I hear some good news.. I've been off work for months and really want to get back into the workforce.
Thanks :)
THANKS, GOD!
Cali & Molly's Dad, Unka Pat, came through his heart bypass with great reportsQuote:

He still feels pretty **Yuckkie** - but the White Coats are very happie about
how well he's recovering.
We could still use some PT Prayers that Unka PAT starts to Feel Better -
like his heart does.
Dear God,
Please grant everyones prayers on PT and keep everyone healthy.
Also, please keep Frankie in your thoughts since his appointment with the orthopedic specialist is on Monday. I hope he doesn't need the surgery.
Carmen
