What a poor excuse for a parent that father is. To get rid of his daughter's cat before she is even gone....if he has no hope for her he should just LEAVE and let your daughter be with her friend.

We also found out over the weekend that he "flushed" her fish down the toilet!!

Prayers said...this does not sound good.

I personally find it very disturbing that if you choose a healthcare proxy that it might actually be meaningless.

Continued prayers - God, we could really use a miracle here ^i^

Seems if the parents had one ounce of love in their body for their little girl, they would be clinging onto her pets for dear life with love and hope. I don't get it with them....is there a big life ins policy involved?

God Bless this young lady and your sweet daughter for trying to help. {{hugs}}

This health care proxy issue is very troubling and much food for thought.

Godspeed ^i^

What a horrible situation and a horrible parent that father is. I'll keep praying for your DD and her friend.

 

[treesinger]

Still speechless, still praying.

 

[DMRick]

The gal lost her fight. C.Ann is with her daughter and will post later.

 

[minniecarousel]

Oh no - the worst has happened. Prayers to C.Ann, her daughter and that dear friend of hers.

 

[CJK]

Oh how unbelievably sad. Thanks for letting us know. Continued prayers.........

 

[goofy4tink]

Oh no. So very sad. Sending along prayers for them both.

You are exactly right about your comparisons with smokes and the obese. I'm pretty sure I'm obese, much overweight at least, and I know what you're talking about. You say "I'll just stop eating so much", and you're motivated for 2 days. Then you're back to eating as much again.
<br>I'm sorry to hear about everything that's going on....

 

[Teris]

So sorry C.Ann. It's been one of the most sad situations to watch play out. I feel so bad for you and your daughter's loss. I wish I knew what to say or do

 

[zurgswife]

I just found this thread...but prayers to your DD in this difficult time....

 

[Serena]

Oh C.Ann, I'm so sorry. This just hurts.

 

[Nancy]

C.Ann, my thoughts and prayers are with you, your daughter and her family. I am so sorry. I hope her parents (or her father) don't cause more trouble then they already have.

 

[Pooh93]

I am very sorry. {{HUGS}}

The fight is over.. My DD's best friend is gone.. I'm struggling with what to say here.. It was a very gruesome ending.. Do I post it in hopes that it will help someone else? I don't know..

I am heartbroken.. My DD is heartbroken and I believe in a very bad state of shock.. My granddaughter is heartbroken and wants to know "why" she can't see "Aunt" so-and-so again.. "When" will she see "Aunt" so-and-so again.. She doesn't want to have to "wait" a long time to see "Aunt" so-and-so again.. Who will go on vacation with her and Mommy now if "Aunt" so-and-so can't..

I can't believe this has happened to such a young woman.. A woman who walked into that hospital 10 days ago - with her best friend by her side - thinking she had bronchitis or something and would be back home in a day or two.. She was laughing and joking for 3 hours and then everything went haywire.. She never laughed or joked again.. My DD never got to say "I love you" or "Goodbye".. The meanness and the spitefulness continues.. Will she even be allowed to attend the services? Your guess is as good as mine..

I am angry.. Angrier than I have ever been in my entire life.. If the services are open to the public, I will not be able to attend.. I can NOT be the "bigger" person here.. I despise those people - I despise the things that occured right up until the very end..

My DD was hurt in a way that may never heal.. She was robbed of the chance to live up to her promise to her friend - that she would be there for her no matter what.. Her friend was robbed of the chance to KNOW that my DD lived up to that promise.. I will never, EVER forgive those people for the hurt and the harm they have caused..

I don't know how my DD is going to handle this.. I don't know how my granddaughter is going to handle this.. I don't know how her DH and I are going to handle the anger and resentment that we have seething inside right now..

The tragedy was compounded a million times over by people who finally chose to act like "family" way too late in the game.. I can not - and will not - ever forgive them..

 

[Serena]

C.Ann, you HAVE to find a way to forgive them, or it will eat you all up inside. Not now, it's too soon, but please for all of your sakes, see a counselor, talk it out, buy a punching bag, but find a way to forgive those people that did this to her and your family.

Your dd's friend will know. She's probably trying to hold your daughter's hand right now, she knows there was nothing she could do, and probably loves her all the more for trying her best. She would not want her friend to be suffering over this.

 

[remyandhollandsmommy]

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope everything gets better for your family.

------------------------------------------------------

"Someday"...many, many, many days from now - I may find a way to forgive - or at least "rationalize" their stupidity, their arrogance, their spitefulness, and their jealousy - but I don't expect that day to be any time in the near future..

I can think of lots of "things" I would like to punch right now, but "punching bags" are not it..

I understand what you are saying is being said with the best of intentions and the utmost sincerity - but I have a DD that I am TERRIFIED to leave alone for even 5 minutes right now - and the fact that these ignorant people chose to make this tragedy a million times worse for the people who REALLY loved this young woman is something that I just can't get past right now..

Thank you for the hugs - I wish I could wrap my DD in a bazillion hugs right now - but sadly even that won't kill the pain that she's feeling right now.. I hope you're right about her friend - and that somehow this friend will find a way to send her a "message" of some sort.. My DD needs that right now - more than she has ever needed ANYTHING in her life..
