    Family and Friend Need Prayers

    I first posted about Joy here:
    http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/show...light=pray+joy
    I can't believe it's been that long ago. The time just flies. I'm at work and had gotten an email about them having lots of medical expences and that she was in the hospital. A fund is being set up for them now. So, I had called her house to speak to her husband to find out if she could have visitors or not. His mom answered the phone and said he was sleeping, that he hadn't slept in days. So I asked her if Joy could have visitors. There was a pause and then she asked me if I knew how serious it was. I told her no. Joy has been on life support and they don't know how the next few days are going to go. I was so upset that I couldn't say anything and had to try to keep from crying. I've been friends with her since I started working back in 1983. We didn't see each other much outside of work. I remember making a blanket for her daughter who is now about 7 I think. I attended the baby shower. She's been ill for so many years(I'm guessing around 15) and finally had to retire a few years ago. She's always been just a people person and really lives up to her name. I am so sorry she's had this trouble. She's too good a person to have to have suffered like this. I've got to commend her husband because he's stood by her throughout it all. I'm hoping she'll make it through this. I feel horrible, too, because one night a few months ago. I was busy and never called her back. Now I may never get to see her again. I am so thankful I got to give her that drawing of Amy's. I got a pic and I will see if I can put it here. It made them both so happy.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Oh, Val, that is hard. I'll be thinking of you and your friend and her family. What an awful thing for anyone to have to experience.

    Update

    Sad circumstances mean that she's not going to be around much longer. I can't really get into details. It will be a very sad holiday season for the family.

    She's Gone

    She died yesterday. There are other extenuating circumstances that make this even worse but I can't get into it here. Their little girl is only 5. It's a very sad time for them.

    I am so sorry.

    I had a similar situation a few years ago. I go to a very very small school, it is K-12 and there are about 180 kids in the WHOLE school, so everyone knows everyone. Well, this guy that is a lot older than me, like 5 years, said hi to me. I just ignore him, and rolled my eyes because I thought he was just picking on me. I felt bad, but he was a really really good guy, but I never did say hi. That was on a friday, then on Saturday, he died, in a 4 wheeling accident.

    I know it is a VERY different situation, when it is a good friend, but it still bothers me that I never took 3 seconds to say hi to matt.
