Ok Bonnie I think I got lifetime account now -so I guess I'm here to stay huh???

I have been having some trouble with a couple of moles for a while now--just couldn't get time to go have them checked. I had been thinking of going and getting it done,putting it off-like we all do. Today on MSN is said" Today is National Melanoma Day" and I thought of you two and what you went thru. So I called my Doctor--he had an open appointment(on Monday? shock huh?)  I went and he removed the 3 that were bothering me. He said he thought they were ok but that I did the right thing to have them checked.I was sure relieved. I told him " I did this for my friend Wendy and her husband  Jeff--He lost his life to this kind of cancer" My doctor said I did the smart thing ! So thank you both-Wendy for reminding us to all get checked and Jeff who will live on in our hearts and we will think about everytime we get checked. Anyone else out there that goes to get checked be sure you say "Thanks" to Jeff and Wendy" I sure did

It's been a long week. First my Aunts funeral on Monday--she looked so peaceful and beautiful--Tuesday--our ac went out-but luckly it was a simple thing(well except for the service call charge !) Wednesday--we found out we had a bursted water pipe under the house--cut the water off--called a plumber--said he would be there 8 am thursday morning--he called at 730--said he couldnt come. Johns at work so I picked up the phone book and said a prayer"Lord help me pick out a good plumber who wont charge me a lot"---dialed the first one in the book--turned out he was my son's neighbor--he was real nice-did a good job and didnt charge a arm and a leg--thank you Lord. Now I have paper work and all  my Aunts stuff to go thru-so maybe things will settle down in a few weeks. Thank you all for your prayers

Thank  you all so much for your kind words and prayers--she died this morning about 2 a.m.--graveside services Monday. A blessing that she lived 96 years--but sad-there not much family left thats able to come.

Thank you all for your kind words. Wendy is right--hospice is the most wonderful group of people I have ever met. The two ladies who came for my Aunt are the same two that I had with Mother. Last thing they do when they leave each day is kiss my Aunt and tell her they love her

I came home for awhile to rest a little and the nurses promised me they would call if anything changed.

Hard to let someone go but sometimes you just have to love them enough to let them.

I put my Aunt on hospice last night. it's like she just withdrew--she's just sleeping--no response--not eating--nothing -please pray-God takes her softly and quietly with no pain

I know I need to update but there just isnt much going on around here. My Aunt is still not feeling well. I was there this morning--they asked her if she wanted to lay down--she said-"I know I shouldn't but I'm so tired" I said "Why don't you want to lay down? She said "Cause people will think I'm lazy if I go back to bed!" She's 96 !!! I convinced her it was ok at 96 to nap awhile. But I understood cause I guess back in her day you just didnt nap during the day ! I go to the nursing home everyday and I can see her going down before my eyes--but I understand she's tired. Hope you all had a Happy Easter.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers My father in law passed away this morning--quietly and pain free. He's in Gods hands.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while-Johns Dad isnt doing well. They put him in the rest home with Hospice--just kind of keeping him quiet. Please pray that he goes quietly and peacefully

My father in law fell and broke his hip. We have been at the hospital all day--just got back. He has to spend the night in ICU because his heart was acting up.He's 85  Prayers Please. I will let you know.
