Hello Everyone! I know I don't seem to ever be around anymore, but I have good reason. No time... As many of you know we moved from Florida back to Kentucky last May. Then on July 12, 2007 Bill was diagnoised with glioblastoma...grade 4. The most aggressive type of brain cancer. He was given 3 months to live. We wouldn't take that lying down and we found a wonderful neuro oncologist and now Bill is in remission and we are fast approaching the year mark. All of which though it has been very difficult to get through I am very thankful for. Now you throw into this mix the fact that my Mother is diagnoised two weeks later with cirrohises of the liver. Then a couple months later my dad developes gang green and my daughter is having a difficult pregnancy. Then on top of that we have step siblings in the house with my parents that are stealing from them and doing stuff to help my mother out of this world. I have lived in my mother's home as much as I've been in my own since December. Now when we think everything was going to get better my Dad dies on Feb.2,2008 my grand baby is born on March 5th and daughter ends up in really bad shape. Still dealing with those problems and looking to have reconstruction surgery soon. She has now moved a mile from us which is a blessing in many ways, plus we get to see the baby a lot. Now my mother has passed away on the 22nd of May. I don't know how much one person is suppose to be able to endure. Both parents in 3 months. Then on top of all that my parents had changed their will a few years back when they were mad at me and then forgot they did it. So I have taken care of them for months and left with nothing while my drug using drunkard step siblings will get 1/2 of the estate. My son had to move out of the house because it is to be sold and he has lived with them for 4 years now. Making things even harder for him. Do you ever feel like crawling away and hiding in a cave? I never thought I would be so hurt again in my life after Jerry died, but I am. Losing my mom is nearly unbearable. My sister only came to see her 3 times since last August even though she lived closer to her then I do. She wasn't even there when mom passed. I was at her and my dad's bedside. Today life is very unfair....I truly do not know how I am going to make it without my mom....Today we go to see if Bill can get a spend down for his medical bills. We have no insurance now that he is drawing his disability. You don't get medicare for two y ears. His medical for the last 3 months is over $40,000. And this will be on going for at least another year of treatment if he stays in remission.I just needed to vent a bit sorry to be such a downer so early in the day.....jo

Hi Jo
I am so sorry for all the troubles in your life. I am glad your dh is in remission and hope he continues to be well.
Losing ones parents is a very hard thing. I still miss my Mom a lot and often wish I could pick up the phone to talk to her. It has been a short time since you lost her and time does indeed make it easier.
Life can be so unfair sometimes and it seems right now you are having more than your share. Take care and know that sometimes life gives us way more than we think we can handle. We get through it.
Congrats of the birth of your Dd baby and I hope she and the little one are doing well now. Glad they are closer to you.
HUGS
