    • About Me

      My 11 yr old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. My Dad passed away at 51 yrs old from liver cancer....miss him every day, we were very close. Just found out that my Grandpa has leukemia and that both my Grandma's have alzheimers. My 4 wk old nephew received a heart transplant, he is now 2 yrs old & doing well. However, they can't tell us how long this heart will last. I work at the hospital as a Dialysis Assistant.

    • Close Bereavement

      My Dad passed away from liver cancer at the age of 51...I miss him very much. Him & I were very close. I watched him slowly deteriorate over the course of a year. He didn't want to be in the hospital, so we looked after him at home....and that is where he passed away. We buried him 5 days before Christmas, so each year it is an extra hard time. Where does the time go? Life will never be the same without him!
