I can only imagine how hard it is, being what stress I've gone through watching my mom and brother lately, and they are handling chemo fine. <br /><br />Thank you for your comments on my blog.

I've lost both parents and I know how hard it is to watch someone go.<br /><br />Thanki you for stopping by my blog and sharing commenting. You made my day with your kind words. <br /><br />Looking forward to reading more of your blog as well. <br /><br />Hugs<br />paulapaulawannacrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401434790948821665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-10610561733031974762010-08-14T16:05:59.846-04:002010-08-14T16:05:59.846-04:00Oh, Sharon ...

I'd tell you to hang in there, but I know that's easier said than done.<br /><br />As for losing your appetite, it'll probably come back. I know the summer my parents died (about a month apart from separate causes), I lost weight because nothing sounded good. My roommate had lost her grandma earlier that year, and the both of us just went back and forth ... I don't want to cook ... Me, either ... Well, let's go get something ... what? ... <br /><br />Nothing sounded good. We ended up getting a lot of fast food, but I still lost weight that summer (at one point, I weighed 306, but when we started Atkins that fall, I was at 276).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-68788982705248126032010-08-14T14:43:41.881-04:002010-08-14T14:43:41.881-04:00Sharon, I'm still thinking about you all and y...Sharon, I'm still thinking about you all and your vigil today. To answer your question about how to know your traffic, look at the bottom the right side bar of my blog--there's a little white thing called a sitemeter. Click on that and you'll see some of my stats (I think). Most of the blogs I read have this. In any case, google sitemeter and you can sign up. You just add it as a gadget--no cost, no spam, just info. Be sure to disable the count for your own computer's visits or you'll skew the results.

You are doing what is right. Being by FIL's bedside as he begins to wind down his days in this life and make that passage to the next is a big responsibility. One that apparently you all are doing with all the love for each other you can muster up. It is when these challenges in live arise that we find our inner strength and faith. Blogging will wait and be here when the time is right for you to again post funny and lighthearted things. In the meantime be with Mr. B and MIL to encourage their strength and share things about the life of your dear FIL with each other. Blessings and prayers to you all.Margie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310100815284895284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-32159597908310664202010-08-13T22:46:12.871-04:002010-08-13T22:46:12.871-04:00Still praying...

It seems hard--and it IS!--but losing a loved one in a moment is so much harder. <br /><br />As hard, awful, painful, excrutiating, taxing, tiring as this is--it is God's gift to you. <br /><br />I pray that you continue to feel His great love--and His peace during this long good-bye.<br /><br />Hang in there.<br /><br />Hugs.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-87530909777317653502010-08-13T21:57:29.207-04:002010-08-13T21:57:29.207-04:00Sharon, I am so sorry things took a turn for the w...Sharon, I am so sorry things took a turn for the worse. This isn't the blog entry I thought I'd find upon my return from vacation! I'll say a prayer this evening for your FIL, and for the rest of the family too. Waiting is never easy, but how nice you were all given enough time to say "thank you" for everything ... and to say good-bye too. My thoughts and prayers will be with you ... xxAnn (-50 lbs in -60 lb challenge)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17156265221593608891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-30916044470796429582010-08-13T21:46:48.649-04:002010-08-13T21:46:48.649-04:00Oh Sharon, honey, hang in there.

Sometimes when I visit my Dad he sleeps the entire time I'm there or wakes up only briefly. I sing hymns that I know he knows or read to him from the Psalms. Sometimes he'll mouth some of the words along with me, but usually he just sleeps. I try to hold his hand or touch him to keep him aware on some level that I'm there with him. Courage. You all are in my prayers.Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039903741028922963noreply@blogger.com
