Someone please tell me some good news! |
|
:cry:
I have received two pieces of bad news from my family today.
My cousin died last night of a massive coronary. He was almost 50. He was the brother of my cousin who died in 1990 of AIDS. Goddess love my aunt, she is a strong woman. She is also very heartbroken.
We also found out today that my uncle has the early stages of lung cancer. He is in his late 60s but has been a heavy smoker since is early teens.
Make it stop.

Seems that the piling on is in your corner, for the worse.
If I could make it stop, I would.

17. I hear you. I hate that saying "God doesn't give us more than we can handle." |
|
It's nice, but it sure doesn't help when you get hit with multiple tragedies. Especially around this time of year.

30. Do you feel that black spot forming on your soul? |
|
That's a mortal sin, happily joining all those original sins you had before you were even born. Forget about the venial sins. I have no idea what they consist of, but you have them...sinner.

15. The good news is that the pain does stop |
|
And you get to keep the good memories.
Go tell the people you care about how much you love them. It will do you good.

32. My dear KitchenWitch......... |
|
How horrifying, sweetie.........
I can hardly imagine what you're going through, right now........
Perhaps this little poem might help......I know it does me......
Life is eternal;
And love is immortal;
And death is only a horizon;
And a horizon is nothing
Save the limit of our sight...
Be well, sweetie.......Remember that you are greatly loved! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

I appreciated the phone call. At this point I did not want to call anyone, but if anyone wanted to call me that is cool.
Reaching out is not my strong point.

It is, I mean, geez, it really should not be, but most people put so much emphasis on holidays that things like this become huge.

It is not likely though, since he "lives off the grid" so to speak.
