Thank you for being there - for Bob - for his questions, his concerns, his anxiety......he needs your shoulder, and you're always there. Maybe that's the role you're supposed to play.....for others walking this path.<br /><br />Love you, lil' brother....<br /><br />SisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18287410826256587335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581343569425944386.post-9626938836239867342011-03-14T11:07:39.466-05:002011-03-14T11:07:39.466-05:00Dimple & Charlie: I loved your house and the b...Dimple & Charlie: I loved your house and the beautiful setting - but I understand your need to be closer to "home". It's so beautiful, I'm sure it will sell very quickly. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your words of comfort and support.

God, if only there really was a Samantha who could wiggle her nose or if there really was an "Easy" button that we could push! There's not, though, and despite all the best wishes from those who care, the journey really is a lonely one. Yes, our loved ones are always, always, always there ... but the patient is the only one wearing those all-too-tight shoes. What we'd give for a taste of something that wasn't metallic ... if only we could do something we once enjoyed ... instead, all things have that damnable taste and we can only watch from the sidelines as we question our faith and wonder how something like this could happen to us. I found that I gained strength from the thought that God allowed me to be stricken with cancer because he knew I had the support system to be a survivor while others might not ... that perhaps something in my treatment would open a door to allow for a cure. Those who give advice may know someone who "has the same exact thing", but this disease acts differently on everyone and everyone reacts differently with this disease ... and the very best thing you can do is to keep the patient AND the caregiver in your thoughts and prayers.<br />JohnnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581343569425944386.post-70917564465823537092011-03-12T22:27:56.284-06:002011-03-12T22:27:56.284-06:00Sarah and Bob, So pleased you are enjoying porch ...Sarah and Bob, So pleased you are enjoying porch weather.
