All i can add is :always remember for him it is the comfort of being able to reach out and touch you, and the knowledge that you are there just hold on to him. Nothing is worse than being alone, no matter what is happening. Pray, it really does help and give comfort. <BR/>i found you just crusin the blogs following links. the snow pic is beautiful, but then i am from Ala were any snow is a rare event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-17941886051805061152009-01-29T21:38:00.001-05:002009-01-29T21:38:00.001-05:00Thank you all so much.

I love all the textures. I can not wait to play with them. I have to finish my Valentines day card first.<BR/> Just your company is enough for your husband at this time. My stepmother has been battling breast cancer for 5 years. She has gone through 3 rounds of radiation and chemo. She is now taking chemo pills. It breaks my heart not to be able to do something.

I'm sorry that he has to go through this. No one should. My mother is dying, her sickness is a long drawn out one (not cancer)and she is bound to her bed and can only be moved with help. My dad has taken early retirement to stay home and help her, it's unfair. My mother is a strong woman who always joked about out living my dad. What they are going through I've said a million times, no one should have to go through but it's life, it happens and they are dealing with it the best they can, just as you and your husband are dealing with things the best you can, it's all you can do. Enjoy each other's company, make the most of every day, find the positive and focus on that instead of the negative and keep moving forward. <BR/><BR/>I hate to admit it my I could so relate to the plant killing segment of your post. I either neglect them during busy times or I love them too much by drowning them...I would love to get it right someday so I keep buying new ones in the spirit of hope and that THIS plant will be the one...so far cactus and gummy plants do ok here...<BR/><BR/>Have a great day! :-)Skogkjerringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269245867852737707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296284051502496327.post-48161747227512646232009-01-29T00:30:00.000-05:002009-01-29T00:30:00.000-05:00Your textures are looking great!Im sorry to hear y...Your textures are looking great!<BR/><BR/>Im sorry to hear you have had a rather rough day and your husband isn't well.
