    • About Me

      My name is Kim and I have been married to a wonderful man, Pat for 26 years. In January we lost our son, Chris who was 23 years old. He was truly the light of our lives and I don't know where to go from here. I just go day to day and depend on my family, friends and faith to get me through. I am a mom with such an emptiness now and how I miss him !! Ten years ago we also lost my stepson, Pat Jr. who was 19 years old. He did not live with us, but was a big part of our lives as well.

      From dustey5 Thursday

      Ms. Kim,
      I do have so much trust and faith in my surgeon and she knows that. She is all smiles when she sees me and she is heartbroken to see what I have to go through. Before the amputation she took the fibula bone and the tumor out. She went to my mother while I was in recovery and said she believes she has gotten all the tumor and cancer cells and she was sure of it and was proud of her work. It was such a disappointment to me and it was to her when there was still cancer cells. So she has much love for me. I will be posting a picture of me and my surgeon. Take care Ms. Kim and I do thank you for leaving comments on my well being.

      Chris
