I'm not MIA

Postby PaulC » Tue Feb 24, 2009 3:07 am

I haven't been around much due to family concerns. My Father in Law has just been informed that he has approximately 6 weeks to live. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour 3 weeks ago and, after the op to remove it, was told that news. Our life has been put on hold until this unfortunate episode is over.
Cheers

Paul,

Just knowing the time is growing short is a blessing in itself. Time for healing, resolution and farewell. Celebrate a life lived with reminiscence of the good times.

Our thoughts are with you and the handbrake.

I'm sorry Paul. I watched my mother slowly die from liver disease over a 6 month period and it's hard to live through. Like Steve said, celebrate the good times while you still have the chance. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

You have a bunch of people over here who have you and your family in their thoughts and prayers.
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

I am sorry to hear this Paul. As others have said our prayers are with you and your family. As Steve having time can be a blessing. I lost my Dad very unexpectedly.

:( Oh Paul, please give Kartrina a big hug from us. We will pray for you all. I know it sounds trivial but none of us comes with an expiration date. He might be here for a very long time or a day, as we all are. The Dr's don't really know. Only our creator knows for sure.

Sorry to hear about that Paul. Sometimes knowing makes it harder than not knowing.
