(((hugs))) Part of me doesn't know what to say! I wish I could say I can't imagine your pain and sorrow. I know the absolute joy and love you felt for Buddy. I know you rejoiced with each milestone and I'm sure fretted with each surgery. I'm so sorry for all the suffering he and his parents had to go through but I know their and your lives are richer for having known him.
Cher, Janeeenk, Melissa, Angie, Paula ~ Thank you for your kind words. You are right it was difficult to loose our little guy but he was so much of a blessing and fortunately I was able to spend almost every day with him. As the song goes "don't cry for me Argentina" He would have been 6 this year and there are times when it still on the surface but most of the time, especially, dd1 and I can laugh and talk about him with no issues. We shared so much of his life together - even more than she and his dad or any of the rest of the family did. I was there for his first breath in the deliver room and started CPR with his last (thank GOD for the career I chose or He chose for me).
I have to tell you a little story that helped me get through the entire ordeal, I think - true. At 7 days old we were told that if his kidney (he only had 1) didn't start to work there was nothing they could do for him. I went home that night and GOD and I had a little talk. I told him that I understood that He was in charge and knew the plan he had and that I would accept his will. I may not like it but I would accept it, as humans we are a selfish bread. I also told him that if He meant for Buddy to be here I needed a sign and if it was not His will for him to be here I needed a sign so I could help my dd1 & dsil with it all. The next morning I drove the 1/5 hours to the hospital and the back to Buddy's room and the urologist was standing beside his bed and told us that he believed Buddy had a blockage in his kidney and he could fix that. I took that as a sign from GOD that Buddy would be here for a while. My heart was lifted and I knew that all would be well. AND it was. He survived so many things that the doctors, etc didn't think he would.
So am I sad that he is no longer here - yes but am I glad that we had him for the time we did - ABSOLUTELY!!! Would we change anything that we went through - ask my dd1 and she would agree - ABSOLUTELY NOT except that he would still be here (refer back to the we thought we'd have him for much longer than we did).
Sorry for the long post but just felt you needed to hear/read how wonderful it really was more times than the bad times.

Another bad nights sleep. Woke up at 4 was awake until 6 finally fell back to sleep. What the heck is wrong with me???
I know that while I was awake i was fretting about dfil. He has been having chest pains. He had quadruple bypass 20 years ago. He is going in on Wednesday for an angioplasty to check things out. He is very fearful that they may have to do another bypass as he can't get stints.
I think his pains have been going on for a while as he had dh sign a lot of papers earlier this month regarding power of attorney, deeds to house and cars....medical power of attorney. I think he is really fretting but won't say so. He emailed all this info to all his kids on Saturday and then called dh on Sunday.
Praying all things go well for him. Remember things have improved so much in the last 20 years. And it is a very good thing that he is getting things in order before hand so that everyone knows what his wishes are.

Hi ladies - finally got home and the stupid internet didn't want to work right so I spent over an hour trying to figure that out. While doing that I got a load of clothes washed and dishes from dinner washed as well.
With it being as late as it is now, I'm bushed. I'll finish the clothes tomorrow - thank goodness the dryer has a wrinkle setting!
Hope you've all had a great day today - mind was eventful, busy and I got quite a bit accomplished. Now it's off to bed.

Thanks for all the wonderful information you have been sharing with us.
It's so true isn't it, sometimes when we are going through the difficult times we wonder, "why" but when we have some distance we can look back and say we wouldn't change it because the situation "changed" us for having gone through it.
Sweet avatar!!
You have moved me two mornings in a row!!! (((hugs)))
He said that's what happens to the fiber optics cables. A squirrel could chew on the line & damage it enough so there is still connection, but it's a "leak" because it isn't running at the full speed.
I think we have leaks CONSTANTLY!!!!! I am sure we are experiencing one right now!!! So aggravating. It's so slow....it will continue like this for awhile until it finally dies all together and then they will come out again. Not sure what the deal is....but it's been like this the entire time we have had it and they are the only provider in the area so we can't switch to someone else.
Called all three ladies. We will not be going anywhere today. I asked them to please don't go outside to get your mail or put garbage cans out or anything and I will follow my own advice. There is about quarter inch of ice covering everything and it is still coming down as freezing rain.
Thought this applied to some flybabies. You know who you are. Isn't this adorable?
I am speed reading back posts!!! This was me today!!! How did I get so addicted to the coffee thing? I am blaming it on Miss Paula's comment that there is a salted caramel creamer. I have moved away from that one and am totally enjoying Bailey's non-alcholic original. mmmmmmm....
I have gone from the occasional Starbucks frapp and the rare Intnl Coffee drink to daily, grinding my own beans and using a french press and then adding my cream.....oh my!!!!! It's delicious!
Woke with a monster headache today....coffee and 2 advil and I am doing well once more!

I am sorry...I am trying to back read but I don't see who the funeral was for?
Oh, I think I remember....you made a card a couple of days ago.
You are not going to believe what our temp is going to be today.... 71....I am still in long sleeves and a jacket....but I should be losing the jacket in a little while!
Misti, I created my card for your VSN yesterday! I have had a lot of "MISSES" lately on my creations but I have to say I LOVE the one I made for your challenge!

us & our coffee + creamers.
I'm drinking the "gourmet" Folgers...it's Mocha. (it's awful!) It smells wonderful...yes...but it tastes "burnt" or something. BUT, I'm giving it a chance. I'm using the regular liquid coffee mate creamer...
BUT...I need to go for more breakfast pizzas and lunches @ Kroger so I will pick me up some more Chocolate / Caramel creamer! sweet. I got a big bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee from Sam's.

An elderly lady, the elderly ladies from our little meeting here were all friends with her. They are all over eighty. We are friends with her children and knew her too of course. The funeral is an hour and a half from us so I was going to take the ladies who didnt want to drive in the city so they could say good bye to their old friend.
