I feel fine.

I want everyone to know I am doing real good.It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be.On Sunday Aug.17,2008 My Dad passed away.He had cancer but know he is pain free.My family is doing fine and are handling it all well.I talked with my Mom and they aren't having a funeral because my Dad wanted to be cremated instead.So they are granting his wishes.I got to see him back in Feb of 2007 and it was good.That's how I wanted to remember him.He was sick then but not like he had been the last few months.I will miss him but the memories will always be there.I was able to talk to him before he passed and that was good.Thanks to all who prayed for my family.Thanks for being there for me.It has helped me alot.Thanks to my Husband Marty and My kids Cody,Jeromie and my Mom in law and many others I have had a lot of support in all this.Thanks alot I love all of you very much.Many blessing to you all.Love Ya's

Update

Well just a short update on whats going on in my life wright now.Well this week has been a little nerve racking.I have talked with my Dad and he is done with all treatments for his cancer.My Mom has told me that it could be any time now.My Dad is having some of the signs that come with dieing.Mom says they really don't know when but will keep me up to date on how things are going. I'm struggling with what I should do when he does go.She's only having a two our viewing due to my Dad wants to be cremated and not buried.It cost alot to fly and I don't want to go by myself.We'll just play it by ear for now I guess.My Mom is doing ok the hospice people gave her a book to help her deal with whats going on.My uncle and aunt have been there most of the time while this has been going on.I have two brothers and a sister also there. Most of my Dads family is there also.Me and my brother Ricky are the only ones not there.I think that has what has helped me the most is I haven't had to watch my Dad go through this.I did see him last Feb.when we went on vacation to Florida.That were he lived at the time.Now he is in Hannibal New York.He was sick then but not like now.I have good memories of him so that's good.Well just keep the family in your prayers. Thanks for letting me ramble about this. I love all who read this.Talk Again Soon

UpDate about My Dad

Well, I'm kinda in a sad mood at this time.I got a call from my sister in law in Florida.She said my Mom called them last night and said my Dad is going down hill fast.In my last post I told you about my Dad and his cancer. Well he has decided not do any more chemo treatments.They are doing one last shot of radiation this weekend and sending him home on Tuesday.Penny said Mom told them that he weighs about 150 pounds now and that he is still paralyzed on his left side and that he is having trouble recognizing who people are.They don't know how much longer he has.The doctors aren't putting a time frame on it.This is all I know at this time. I will keep you posted and thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
