I know I like to see faces of people spoken of, plus the one with Jim gives you a bit of the mood of last weekend with Ashley and the baby here. I especially like this picture because when you view the large picture you can see the drop of drool on Ashton's chin. I'm such a sucker for babies. lol
I know most people do not share openly like I do, but then most people are not in the same position as I and my family are in, or are like us, well, mainly me, who join in (and trust) the virtual family. But a virtual, support group family has seen me through some really, really rough times in the past ten years, and the odds are of that continuing. In fact, I found a support group for prostate cancer, and it is very warm, and helpful to me, as a wife. You all know Jim is not the most talkative in a group setting, so I just barged right along, seeking whatever it might be that I needed, having not a clue what it was that I needed. hahaha
Please do check out the new pictures, though, especially the one that has Jim in it, even if it is just a side view, Precisely Tuesday http://andlifegoesononedayonestepatatime.blogspot.com/2008/03/another-day.html
Billie, thanks so much for sharing your family pics and your thoughts with us.
Loneliness and the stresses of dealing with a loved one's illness while unable to do all you want to be able to do to help yourself and the other has to be so very frustrating and scary.
It's a special gift of yours to be able to focus on the beauty to be found in every day.
I wish you weren't being tested so very completely all the time, doll.
Susan
LOL I was telling Jim about what I told Cheri in another thread about not being able to be there for the last step, the last hand hold, the last kiss. Slurp! And I couldn't remember exactly what I said, and I told him "Puke!" and he burst out laughing!
I will probably be sharing more of my thoughts here between now and the 19th, that I do not want to put in my blog because there are some things I do not especially want my kids to read, know, etc. In addition to coping with their own feelings, they have the awesome task of also seeing after mom and dad. My dil got to work today (surgical nurse) and found out she has from the 19th to the 27th off from work. They were excited about that, both by being able to be free to help out so freely, and also to be give me peace of mind of him being taken care of.
Everyone is coming up to the plate to bat. I just have to really work on myself about my feelings about not coming home from the hospital. I usually am upbeat upon release, so I will just wait and cross that bridge at that time, and remind myself I do not borrow trouble from tomorrow. Still, though, I am human. *s*
Thank you for the sweet comment.
If I had my choice, I'd prefer not to be tested so frequently and completely, too, but I have to look at it as to what God wants me to get from the situation, and not "why me again."
Thanks, Susan
