Having a hard night so far....
 

Well my mother and I rarely talk.... except when we have to & or for family matters....well it seemd that my brother is going off to boot camp (he joined the marines) on the 16th of September....she just had emergency surgery for kidney stones last week, my grandmother (her mother) had a car accident with her Parkinson stricken husband and rolled over and totaled the car..she had a sprained wrist and the jaws of life had to get him out....and my aunt with 3 kids under the age of 9 has malignant brain cancer....they were unable to remove all of it and she is undergoing chemo therapy...she will not be able to beat it according to doctors (her husband is a surgeon). Her family from Columbia has flown in and it looks like I wil be visiting her in Florida next week as well, I will then be going to see my toher dying grandmother All of this I learned in the last hour...and I'm sorry to depress everyone...

Oh my, I'm so, so sorry about all of your family's problems. I wish I could do something to make it better. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and prayer your way.


Here's a little joke to cheer you up (from my 5-year-old):

Why can't you tell an egg a joke?

----Because it will crack up!! :D :D

Oh my gosh, As I'm reading your post all I could think is how can one family survive all this sadness.. My heart goes out to you and your family, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh wow sweetie - my heart just goes out to you. Please try to take good care of yourself and I'm so sorry to hear about all this...I dont know what to say except that you have friends and can always come here to talk - we're here for you and I'm very sorry for your family and you...

this is going to be a rough road but we have to believe things happen for a reason. Sure wish we knew why sometimes - it would help alot during times like this - Big hugs to you

aww i'm sorry!! Keep your head up!!! lots of hugs from kelly and bentley!!

Girl, I am so sorry to hear your family...that is alot for one family to handle at once...but God only gives what we can handle....keep strong...I will be praying for you and your whole family!!

Oh man Samantha, I don't even know what to say!! I am so sorry for you and know you must have a very heavy heart right now. Please try to keep a positive attitude about everyone and then they will feel your energy and heal faster. If you need a shloulder, I'm here.

Wow - that's a lot for one person to bear. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.

You're lucky to have your puppy to help you get through all of this. Unconditional love and lots of puppy kisses.

Oh, how very sad. That's a lot of bad news to take all at once. I feel especially sorry for your Aunt and her children. Everyone should be able to live long enough to see their kids grow up. Life can be difficult at times, I know.

On a lighter note, I checked out Maximus' dogster page and I must say "he is a cutie!" There's nothing like a dog to cuddle and "talk" with when your sad.

I am so sorry to hear this. I went through something like this about 2 years ago. It was very hard to deal with. I was emotionally tired. I couldn't eat and it was hard to sleep. I had to keep it together not only for me but for my kids and family. Please take care of yourself and I will pray for you and your family. If you ever need to just let it all out feel free to PM anytime. I am a very good listener.

I'm so sorry you are going through such a terrible time. Any one of those situations is hard to handle, never mind all at once. Don't give up hope on your aunt, my mom had brain cancer and much more that I won't go into to but the doctors told us she had a week to live and she survived over 17 years. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Oh, samatha. That is terrible i can't even imagine going through that all at one time. I hope it all works out. god will give you the strength to get through this. I really wish your family the best.

Hey Sam, I'm so sorry to hear about everything thats happening. If you need to talk, girl you know I'm here. Even if you just need a distraction. Trust me, I know from experience what a horrible feeling it is when it feels like everything is crumbling at once. There is a reason for everything. I've been going through a rough 8 months but still hoping for the light at the end of the tunnell. PM me for my number whenever you want to talk. Let Maximus give you lots of kisses.
Sam, dis is Coco and if I wasd der I would make out wit you to cheew u up, k? I've been humpin lately but I won't hump you, just cwean yous teeth and face k?

You're really having a when it rains it pours type of day...
I am so sorry to hear of all the sorrow involved. Like the
others have said please try and stay positive and make
sure to take time out to take care of yourself. Our thoughts
are with you...

I am so sorry to hear of such a bad situation, stay strong and keep your eyes toward that ray of light at the end of the tunnel. Stay close to friends and lean on them when you need to, they will help you pull through all of this.
Best Wishes to you!
Kisses from Yoda

I'm so, so sorry about all of your family's problems. I will keep you in my thought and prayers.

I am so sorry you are having all this tragedy. Toto and I came home for a two week visit on July 6th and we're still here! It's been an absolute nightmare ... every day, a new emergency. Seems like the list is endless and I still have to face my 6 yr. old grandson having surgery on Monday! I plan to fly back to Colorado on the 28th but may have to extend my stay yet again. However, I know after reading your post that we can always look around and see there are those who are going through much, much tougher times than we are. I will be praying for you and your family and just want you to know that you have all of us who are always here for you!

Thanks everyone for the support...it was just a very numb feeling last night...plus some guilt on my part (for not being 100% in the loop)...my mother and I have been arguing and so although we were planning on going together to visit my grandmother we haven't "spoken"...she must have known about my brother for awhile if he is leaving for boot camp so soon...but she is stressed that he won't come back, and then she had a kidney stone stuck in her euretha (sp)..plus addtional ones that they broke up for her to pass, my aunt is by marriage but I have known her since I am 4 ( she is part of the family!!!) and I had to go to a chrsitening next week but I will be making plans to see her in Florida...and my gradmother is a trooper but her husband is getting really bad and he may have to go to a home. But I have a wonderful babysitter for Maximus where he will be spending a couple of days next week (she has a yorkie too and she is spoiled just like our babies)...I feel bad that Maximus had to see his mom sad last night but he knew something was wrong because he woke up about every hour on the hour to come to the side of the bed and give kisses .... and then went back to his side....my bf was at his mother's (his grandmother is going through chemo treatments and in case anything should happen mid-night) so he is over there a couple of times a week for now~~ I almost caved and let Maximus sleep in the bed but that would of been confusing for him so I gave him kisses and he went back to lay down. I haven't even spoken to my boyfriend yet in detail about what is going on....he just called to make sure that I was alright (from visitng my mom) and Maximus was okay (going to sleep)~ but I didn't want him to come home because he was worried...I'd rather he stayed over there and I was just by myself with Maximus

Oh sweety, you have so much on your plate right now. I truly hope and pray there is a silver lining for your cloud. :) YTers are always here for you whenever you need us to offer our support and a helping hand.

thats terrible to be going threw all this at once ,your family will be in my prayers .

Awww Sam, I'm so sorry for you and your family. I will pray for you all. Just know that we all love you.
