My leukemia's back.

Hey Phil, How many ducks do you want?

That's not a flock, it's a flood!

(and boy, when it passes, what a mess, eh? Goose poop minefield!)

Phil, sounds like you need to be a snowbird--south in the winter, north in the summer. My folks did that for a few years and absolutely loved it.

Been on the phone with Mom today. Dad had a really rough night, had hospice and even the EMS came out even though he's a no-transport. She said he had enough Ativan and morphine on board to snow a horse but was still in distress. Finally went to sleep after a few hours. She's so ragged. I hate being this far away. My sister who is local to them isn't medical at all (she's our legal person) and doesn't really know what to do. I"m praying, but I'm not sure what I'm praying for---healing or an easy trip Home.

Excellent plan on snowbirding -- there were lots of folks back home who did that and quite enjoyed it, kind of getting the best of both the places you live in.

I am so sorry that your dad is having such a struggle and hope that peace (in whatever form) finds all of you. I wanted to offer many

to you -- yesterday was a day of reflection on the passing of my dad (it was his birthday) and I know the feeling you are describing about not being sure what it is you are hoping or praying for. That is a hard place to be in.

My lungs are a little better now..I just took myself off the Prednisone to early. That warm mild February tricked me..... We dropped down to just above zero last night. Messed me up.

The weather has been something else this year, hasn't it? 70s in February and then back to them calling for snow this week -- yesterday was bone-chilling cold, especially with the wind blowing.

That's not a flock, it's a flood!

Ick, you're not kidding!

Hi friends.....

My Dad passed away this morning.

I'm at home waiting for Honey to get home, he's going to drive me over to stay with my Mom for a few days.

I'm sure I"ll be on line some, byc is my go-to sanity saver

, but don't worry if I'm not on much.

Thank you all for your support and prayers. My sister says it was very peaceful, he just slept his way to Heaven. I'm good with that.

's To you, your boys, your sister, and your mom.
Have a safe trip.

Even when the loss is expected, even when it may be for the better -it hurts.

Travel safely.

I am sorry for your loss, but grateful for the blessing of a peaceful end. Praying for peace and comfort for you and your family in the days ahead.

Hugs and prayers, Rachel. I don't know how to say this delicately but the first thing I thought of when I read your post about your dad was, "How great is our God, that Rachel's dad passed knowing how strong she is and getting to see her returning to good health?"

to you and your family. Glad it was peaceful and I'm sure he is smiling down at you all.
