I know what you mean, Richard. This profound statement you made really hits close to home for me.

I just wanted to send more thoughts and prayers out to you. I'm sorry you're all having to go through this. Your Mom sounds like a great gal. {{{{{RICHARD, MOM, AND, FAMILY}}}}}

I'm sorry your mom is in poor health, Richard. Keeping both of you in my thoughts and Prayers.

Richard, I think us sending cards to her is a wonderful idea (as suggested a few posts up) You said she really enjoyed the Christmas cards. I'd love to make her one. And don't forget Hospice. They were a tremendous help to my friend when her mother was ill.

Everyone's sentiments are making me weepy. I don't know what I'll do if, or when, this time comes for me.

I am so very sorry to hear how ill your mom is. The two of you will be in my prayers.

Richard, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom.

My thoughts and prayers are going out to the both of you. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Richard, My prayers are with you and your Mother.

Cards would be a nice idea, and I have spoken to Richard. He thinks it best if we send the cards to his home address, so it gives him something to talk about when he brings them to his mom.

Anyone who wants to send her a card, PM me, and I'll send you his mother's name, and Richard's name and address.

Richard, I know you are so close to your mother, so this has to be upsetting for you. I hope that she will remain comfortable and that every day will create a cherished memory for you both. Please know that she, and you, will be in our prayers.

I had no idea that you mum was ill Richard. I will be withing you all the very best during this time. I hope that family can all be supportive for her.

Richard, I am sorry to hear about your mother. It is a terrible position to be in. I know you will stay strong, for her, for you, and for Ed.

I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

I was also going to bring up sending a card. I think that will be a great joy for her, knowing that LOTS of people, who have never even met her, care.
