    • About Me

      I am 45 years old. I live in Tennessee, but am originally from Detroit. I have 2 little dogs, a chihuahua and a chihuahua mix. My father was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. After further testing, it had spread to his brain and back. He is undergoing chemo and radiation right now, and I am lost. He lives in Florida. He doesn't want me to come visit for more than 2 days. He is terminal. UPDATE: JANUARY 31, 2009: My father passed away on December 29th, 2008. The chemo and radiation stopped the progress of the cancers in his lung, spine and brain, but he was unable to walk without assistance, and was tired all the time. At his 4 month check up after finishing treatment, his brain cancer had spread to multiple places and the Dr.'s gave him 1 month to live. He died 1 month later, almost to the day.

      I don't think she was looking, butI found her on my space,But her mother found out and took her off and then thretened me that I better not contact her again or she would try to get me in trouble for stalking her. But that would'nt work because my daughter answered me back . Well her mother took me off her account and thought that would stop her or me from being able to contact eachother. My oldest son has an account and she started talking to me on his. I removed mine so her mother would think I was no longer on and afew days later put myself back on. Her mom found out but she stood up to her and we are talking still, Just hope and pray it keeps going the way it is. Talk to you soon!!!!
