Who feels like a Thread-Killer? Part 2

Not open for further replies.
I heard today that one of my cousins is not doing very well and may not live much longer:guilty:

This poor family has gone thru so much in their lifetimes.

Her father was my dad's youngest brother.

In Dec. 2002 her younger sister died at age 30 very quickly and unexpectedly of diabetic complications leaving young children behind.

In September 2003 her dad, my uncle, died of liver disease. He was 56 years old.

In December 2003 her mother, my aunt, died in a car accident on slippery roads during a snowstorm. :sad1: She was 55 years old.

Both this cousin and my aunt had children die within days of birth.

Now my cousin at the ripe old age of 38 (39 in January) is almost at the end of her life from breast cancer.

She has two children ages 13 and 14. Apparently she refuses to acknowledge that she might die and will not make arrangements for her children. Says she is NOT dying. :sad2: I can actually picture her saying this;) She was and is still obviously, always the feisty one:thumbsup2

She is in the hospital and says that she does not want any visitors.:confused3

Should I respect that or should I go and visit her.

We were never really all that close since there was a fairly large age difference. We did get along well when we were together though. She was always going to come over and have a look at my family tree program on the computer

I would have to drive an hour to go and see her. I feel the urge to go but I don't want to cause her any more grief :confused3 :confused3
 
You should do what you feel is best my friend...:hug:

If trying to see her is what you have in mind to do, then go.

Let the good Lord and your conscience be your guide~

A good hug goes a LONG way.
 
DU,
Im going to have to do my laundry at a laundry mat.:laundy: ..Our washer, is leaving grease on the clothes, ...It was making a very loud noise as it spun, and now the grease...Its time to get a new one....But WHY NOW...:confused3:
YUk! I bring the bulky stuff to the LM. Just drop it off & have the attendant do it. Cost about 15.00. Well worth it.

As far as the "why now"....just had this convo w/ my friend last night. EVERY DECEMBER someting goes on my car....never fails. Got so that I build car trouble into the xmas budget. My friend got 100.00 from his Mom & dad...and within a half hour of recieving it, his tire blew!:confused3

DU,
Hows your Mom?......:
Not a good day today!:sad2: Thanks for askin!

.... I could go out by myself, this afternoon, but I spend the whole time worrying about her, worrying about me getting home:sad2: ...
I NEED a life!:rolleyes: :upsidedow
I guess Ill wait and see how she is this morning....Ya never know, She could wake up and be "all there"( well MOSTLY there)...Or VERY confused..:confused3 ...Its a crap shoot!:crazy:

TTFN:wave2:
OIY! I understand this all too well!:flower3:
 

How about the trunk of the car?

The dirty clothes hamper?? My kids NEVER ever looked in there, so it was a very safe spot:rotfl2:

No trunk...SUV...besides I have Moms wheel chair there! Clothes hamper is too small:lmao: ! I found a spot in the corner of my parents Bedroom.:thumbsup2

:hug:

I would go, but i am nervy that way. Sick people always say they dont want visitors....but a breif visit should be fine!

Yeah, I will probably go.

Besides she never told ME that she didn't want visitors;)

I'm going to that city tomorrow but unfortunately I won't be able to go up and see her then.

We are going out for dinner and to a show with some friends tomorrow night.

Thanks Colleen, for your advice also:goodvibes
 
I found the coolest Disney pens today.

They are Christmas pens and they are like snowglobes in the ends.

I bought one with Mickey and one with Eeyore.:thumbsup2

You shake them and the "snow" flys around. The snow is rather heavy though and drops really quick:rotfl:

They also light up when you push on the tip.

Neat.
 
Robin....if / when she passes...& you think "i should have gone to see her"....then you should probably go....
also, i tend to think that sometimes people (esp sick people) might feel that making a trip to the hospital - esp during the holidays - might just be additional stress / stuff to do that the sick person doesn't want to add to their loved ones...undue burdens & all that....but i believe she would probably welcome the visit....

Yeah, you are right.

I think that I should go too.

I never really saw her on a regular basis. A year or two would easily go by and we'd not see each other.

But that doesn't mean that you don't think of someone during that time and that you don't care what is going on in their lives.
 
Morning :)

Cally - glad you got the card! How is everything? Do you hear from Roger on a regular basis or is it sporadic? Well we are always right here for anything!

I do hear from him in emails...about every other day. If I send emails to his yahoo he'll receive it on his phone right away but he just can't respond due to it being international and it might cost an arm and a leg :scared:

He has to go to the media center and email me back from his work account. I mailed him off a package the other day. I hope it gets to him before Christmas. I put a few DS lite games in there for him, cookies, snacks. He asked for some other things that I put in there too. :thumbsup2

Robin, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin. :hug: I agree with others if you really want to go, then you should.

Those do sound very neat. They would make great stocking stuffers! :thumbsup2

Geez, the dis is running sooooooooooo slow. It took forever and a day to open up. :sad2:

Anyhoo, I have to get the house ready, which means clean, wash the linens, and go grocery shopping for the guests I'm having this weekend.

Hubby's cousin from Savannah said they are coming Friday instead of Saturday.

I still need to get the inlaws a gift! Any ideas?:idea:
 
Morning everyone.

I have no gift ideas for you Cally:confused3

It's too hard when people get older and don't really need anything and whatever they want they get themselves.
 
Good mornin

:scared1: YIKES the boards are sllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooow today!

Catch up later.

The digital frames are great for inlaws....you can load up tons of photos of you, Roger, the boys & maybe even get photos of other grandkids too....that's what i got my MIL anyway.....my DSIL is coming over this wkend & we're going to load up a memory card & have it all ready (she wouldn't even know where to begin).....

SOOOO glad you're able to hear from him pretty regularly!! that must help to some extent! I need to do all those things too...clean house - shop etc. for our Xmas Eve get together...i think i'm having 14 ppl that night....i won't even get started till sat a.m. and i "MIGHT" even bake a few Xmas cookies :-)

The digital frame is a great idea and I thought of that but Roger took the external hard-drive with all the pics. Smart I know :rolleyes:

I guess gift cards it is.. :confused3

I just got done cleaning the garage and back porch. My guest have to go outside for their smoke breaks:upsidedow

oh yeah....i remember you saying awhile back that he had taken that with him....

we make people smoke out back too!
 
No smoking in our house either.

Yikes, the boards are going pretty slowly here today.

I just went out and shovelled some more snow.

I don't usually care how much snow we have in the driveway. Half the time I don't even bother to shovel it but it is quite deep now. Too slippery to walk thru to get to the vehicles that are parked on the road.

To me shovelling is a silly thing to do. Come spring, no one will ever be able to tell if I shovelled my driveway all winter long or not:rolleyes1
 
:confused3 Dunno~

I asked him and he couldn't answer either-he is a real health nut now and that was the healthiest offering the airport "cart" had.

Hummus is mashed chickpeas, mixed with other things...The plan hummus is mixed with garlic..Its good!..
Its Middle Eastern Food..You would scoop it up with wedges of pita bread...its normally a side...but we have americanized it and made it into sandwiches...

The funny thing is I love hummus....and I dont like chickpeas...It must be the garlic...I love garlic....

I got this from google..
Hummus
INGREDIENTS:
1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
 
I hafta go out shopping again today, yesterday I helped Brittany get hers done. John and I agreed to do lotsa gift cards. Soooo much easier than buying something specific when you really have no idea what to buy.

...Our smoking section is out back too...

Cally, can you post a list of things here (and maybe PM the address to me) so I can send a care package of my own to him and his troop after the holiday is over?
