CM hoping that all is well with the Doctor and that you hear from Amy soon. Hopefully she will be out of ICU and in a regular room soon. In the meantime she has an excellent staff looking after her. Sure would do our group a world of good if someone could hear her speak!

SM - glad you are moving and doing better and so glad you are getting the attention you deserve from the doctor and staff!
CM - here's hoping the doctor can find out what's keeping your girl up at night so everyone can get some much needed rest!
Everyone else - hello! I'm off to keep cleaning my house... company in two hours! Have a great day everyone!

SM, I'm glad your doctor's office is checking up on you. It's so good to hear something positive about our healthcare system in action :)
Did someone say nap? A nap sounds lovely; as I mentioned at some point this a.m., I didn't sleep much last night.

I just want to have one last Christmas with her living in my home. I know that they come back for holidays, but you know this is the last year she will still be my baby--and I can enforce the issue! I am trying very hard not to let my holiday spirit get crushed--WORLD PEACE!

Ya got that right about stress levels around now! I have a Christmas card that I framed that's hanging in my living room. It doesn't scream Christmas so it's a perfect year-round picture. It's a sleeping kitten with "Peace On Earth" on it. Fridays are ridiculous here to begin with. Add a bit of stress, a dash of winter blues, a pinch of holiday stress, and the weight of losing Dad smack in the middle between Christmas and New Years, and the days can be a bit challenging! I keep it from my co-workers, except the frustration of last minute stuff and waiting for stuff. Sometimes I wish I had a clock-punching job. I get to go home when I'm done, which is after everyone else is done giving me their information. Ah well, just keep telling myself I am fortunate to have a job.

Joan losing your Dad has to be one of the hardest and most traumatic events, but at that particular time of year would be worse to me. I hope you know that he is with you in your heart. My prayers are with you that this day may soon be over and you can go home to Leela purrs! I think your card sounds close to purrfect to me!

It's a beautiful card - total contentment and peace.
Dad is the first immediate family member to go. Seems right, as it's the natural order of things and he would be most upset if it went any other way. (although I'm still upset - the "angry" stage of grief I guess, that he only outlived his Dad by 5 years) Christmas was his favorite holiday. One of his passions, his trains, would come out in full-force instead of being banished to the basement!
So when a few of us didn't really want to decorate or anything, we decided that Dad would not be happy with us, so we forge on.
Something positive to focus on: since life was chaos last year, and we couldn't decorate (TDK cards meant soooo much to me even though I couldn't display them) this will be Leela's first official Christmas!Posted 2 years ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Joan: Keep the tradition with a special something/decor/food your dad liked...it will create happy memories of him as part of this special Season!(My dad passed when I was in my 20's while rest of family was still around...we would share funny anecdotes about him around Holidays/Birthdays and it helped!)I still continue to do that/it keeps them close in heart!

I can empathize too...this will be the 2nd Christmas without my Mom,too and Dad has been gone for 6 years. The holidays just are not the same without them! I am not a big fan of the holidays! Alot of stress and high expectations put on me by myself and others! {{{HUGS}}} to all those who struggle with them :)

It's always a struggle to be reminded during the holidays that a loved one is not there. My dad has been gone a number of years, but I still think about how much he loved Christmas. He was always the one who wanted to decorate everything and always wanted to make the holiday special for everyone.
SM, glad that you are doing better. Just take care of yourself. Good for Deuter being there to comfort his meowy.
No news yet from Amy? I got my card sent out today for her.Posted 2 years ago by LadyKat of IA #

LK, Opahall called and spoke to a nurse and Amy is in pain and nauseated but asleep right now.
Holidays are always hard...this is my 3rd Christmas without my mom..it's hard. My dad died on Nov 1 1976...right before my 8th birthday and Christmas, so that was hard, but not as much as my mom since she was around longer in my life. I am the "parent" now and instead of getting too sad, I try to remember the joy and I try to pass that on to others and now my kids. It would be harder if I didn't have the girls.

OK! I get out of w**k at 4pm. It's 5:15. Dang.
The family was a bit lost the first Thanksgiving without Dad. It had been 11 months - MIL had taken charge that Easter and she's good at saying Grace. Anyway, Dad always said Grace and it never occurred to any of us that anyone but he would ever do it! Fortunately, Mom found Grace cards in Dad's Boy Scout stuff in several denominations so she placed them around the table for one of us to read. Bet there was a chuckle from Heaven on that one!Posted 2 years ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

I'm dissapearing now - time to go hug Leela. Not sure if I will have internet at home so if I don't, I wish you all a great weekend!

Have a good weekend Joan and cuddles to Leela!
Kilroy reading another thread and the Irish blood is a boiling. I can say that all thoughts on that thread should probably cease as it seems that someone just wants a fight and drama. All this will do is further hurt people.
