hi Texas Carol, thanks for your comments. Miss Tallulah sends you licks and kisses. Even though I am Canadian, all my mother's family was originally from the Southern US. So it is in my genes. So sorry to know your mom has Alzheimer's - not an easy journey. You make me feel welcome, and I am so touched. The hospitalization thread has really made me sad. So good to connect with another Bulldog lover. Mr Brutie is a sweetie! I have learned Bully hugs can get us through pretty much anything!
Good for you, taking a break and glad you're back.
Yeah, it will be great for all of us when Aaron moves in (Dec 1st).
He's going to take some pics and post them here...finally...you won't
have to stare at my Vette any longer, HAHAHAHA...that car is long
gone but I own 2 black ones...Stuart's ashes are resting in his '81.
Not sure if I can afford to keep them with so much repair needed
on my house. I asked Aaron to be thinking about which one he might
want to keep for himself...old school (81) or new school (98)
Hon, don't know about you but Mother & I are staying right here, my son, Aaron & TJ & we will eat out at a nice
place, I will get a nice dessert and my brother & sister can come visit us here-they live just under 2 hrs up the hyway.
I'm just not up to seeing a bunch of people and making chitchat right now, just keeping it very low-key and easy, I'm
sure I and Aaron will have a few difficult moments.
You've had a loooong, rough time of it too and I hope you put yourself 1st on the list of consideration...you deserve it!
Have a great, fun and restful weekend and I'm so thankful sweet Sarah is better!
BTW, great admiration in posting those hot spot pics and being open & upfront. Good
for all to know, especially Newbies, you can do everything right and still have issues...
sh*t happens...to everyone! Good for you to share that, I know it was difficult
Hi carol. Your welcome. I am sorry for the loss of your husband, there really are no words that you can say to someone to comfort them or make the pain of losing someone you love go away. The only thing that will heal your pain is time. Time to feel your grief, that and hugs from your friends and loved ones, even if they are over the Internet , and an ear to listen to. Hopefully in time, your grief will be replaced with the good memories and times you shared with your husband, and some of your tears will be replaced with a smile when you think of him. You will always miss him, and think about him many times, you can never forget a loved one, and the hole is always there, but it does get better. I lost my son 28 years ago, and I still cry sometimes when I think about him, especially on his birthday, it never goes away, but it does get easier and better with time. I hope you find comfort, in your family, your son, and your pets.
Thank you! My mom's surgery went well and she is doing great. She was able to go home less than 24 hours after her mastectomy. She is a force to be reckoned with!
hi Carol, i just wanted to check in w/you and let you know i'm thinking of you. Loss is so difficult isn't it? I have lost both my parents and I miss them every day. I dream about them still even tho it's been many years now. I do not know what losing a spouse is like--i can only imagine it must be so, so painful. Know that i'm thinking of you and want you to be really gentle w/yourself right now...and to take baby steps in your grief. Take extra good care of yourself my friend!
