Pap is losing his mind... walking away, and Teddi caught him trying to get out of the house last night, mubbling how he wanted to go home. He is already at home, and trying to explain this to him isn't working to wel. He is really starting to slip.... and I see and hear the pain in my Teddi's voice.... I just want to kiss his pain away... I don't want him to pretend to be the strong one. He's always done this, and I know it's really killin him to be "strong". This is a tough one to deal with, and I just dont know what to say other than I love you and I'm here if you just need me to hold you and talk with you.

There is no real answer to what to say. My husband just lost his only sister to lung cancer. The best thing that I could do was just be there. To increase my affectionate jestures, to pick up any little pieces that were being left by the wayside and to help him care for her at the end and afterwards.

I feel we were incredibly fortunate because we found a wonderful hospice house to take care of her for her last few weeks. This made a world of difference to Charlie, he knew she was getting wonderful care.

My mom has just passed away from cancer. She also was at home, she w as bed ridden in the end. But i remember her saying that she wanted to go home. I know the pain of having to be the strong one. All I can say that you just love them, You hold on and you don't let go. Its been 2 months since my mothers passing today. My prayers are with you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
