So sorry for your loss, my condolences and prayers for you and your family.... ❤

Congratulations!

I have it on a tab now but still have not seen anything there, lol. Someday hopefully...

huggles so so sorry to hear! :((

Very sorry for your family's loss and thank you for pinging for her.

Oh dear! So sorry for your loss; such a loss is hard to comprehend HUG

So sorry to hear about brother. I understand the pain. Prayers for your family. I still have not recovered from my sister's loss in November. Lethargic and unable or unwilling to leave my house for much of anything. I'm attempting to do laundry today as it is piling up. I'd rather be sleeping. Anyways.... Thanks for kisses I've received from fellow Lair Bears. I am trying to kiss on our survivor achievement board, another good friends achievement board and kiss my daughters (see link below) as they are unable to get online much anymore. I use to return kiss for kiss but am unable to do that anymore.

Y'all have a wonderful Survival and God willing I will be able to participate some. I am infected but not really keeping up with it.

Oh no with the flu or? D: Hope you feel better!!

So sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Not sick... just heartsick. Missing my sister and grieving her loss a bit.

Ohh :( Karen right? :( I feel you....huggles :( :(

I am so sorry, the loss of a loved one is something you never get over. Even as days go by, you miss them so tremendously....Thankfully you and your sister Karen were close and had a wonderful relationship. I will continue to keep you on my list of people to pray for , I hope that you can find comfort in her memories ❤ and remember the wonderful times you had together. Don't worry about not being able to return kisses. Just please stay well and get plenty of rest

Yes my sister Karen.
Don't get me wrong... I am not sitting around crying and miserable all day. My life is too busy for that and I am truly happy that Karen is with God and our father and grandparents and that she is in no more pain. I just miss her and get lonely without her... especially in the evenings. That was our time after the rest of the family went to bed. I will always miss her as she was my best friend since she was born. But I can't be anything but happy for her. I think that my main problem now is the mental and physical exhaustion from taking care of her for the past year and having to watch her die in our home. I just can't seem to get my energy back and never can get enough sleep. But I still have my mother and the rest of the family to take care of and my mother is slowly declining. More tired days than not for her. But she has been in the final stage of Alzheimer's now for over two years and I keep her healthy as possible. The doctors never thought she would last this long but God has been good. It is exhausting to take care of her at times though and with my arthritis being effected by the humidity here and the cold it is difficult. But this is the life I've chosen and God has laid out for me and his grace and strength is sufficient to see me through.

Right, she's no longer suffering which is a good thing :)

Yes, i understand, and i meant nothing bad or ill. I too have been through loss and was thinking about how i reacted in my loss.I spent 3 years taking care of my mother, with my family. It has been 14 years, but i still miss her and love her. And you are right God will give you sufficient strength to do and go through what He has laid out for you. But, i will still pray....please keep in touch, hugs

Sorry to hear of your loss .... hugs to you & the rest of the family

- so sorry to hear of your loss...sending a hug ❤

- take care of your dear self. Take whatever time you need...it all takes time. I remember you said that you were so close with Karen. What a wonderful thing that is. Not all siblings can say that...but it makes it so much harder when you miss her so much. It may sound strange...but if you have a shirt or sweater of hers...put it on...this is what I did when I lost my mom...put on one of her favorite blouses..it was big on me but it felt good. My dad had an obnoxious hawaiian shirt..when he died I put it on...it actually made me smile because it was awful looking but he loved it...strange how that helped ❤ ..Sending a hug...and will put you on my event list for kisses too...

Thanks y'all for the encouragement. I'm having trouble leaving the house. Had to go to the grocery store yesterday and my heart raced the whole time. Felt like I had run a marathon. I'm still jumpy from worrying about the lady that wiped out my mom's account and also used mine as their own personal cash machine. She doesn't live far from me and knows our schedules and how to get into my home. Talked to the detective on the case and they are still in the process of investigating so they haven't picked her up yet. It scares me. I don't like being scared in my own home. On top of everything else going on my oldest daughter, JoNichelle, was leaving work and while backing out of her parking space a man swung into the parking lot and bumped into her. She got out and gave him her insurance but when she asked him for his he got very belligerent and started making racial slurs and cussed her out. Then he jumped back into his car to leave she attempted to get his license plate number and he hit her with his car and ran over her leg then just drove off leaving her lying there. A woman that saw the incident phoned the police. Luckily, her workplace has cameras and it was all caught on video. The police is treating it as a hit and run, a felony. My daughter is ok but has a huge hematoma on her thigh where the tire ran over her leg. It's gonna be a huge bruise. Very disturbing that someone would do that to her and also thankful that it wasn't a whole lot worse.

- how HORRIBLE! I hope they find him...how awful...so glad your daughter will be okay...what is WRONG with people? Makes me so angry. Glad there were cameras...how frightening for her and for you.

Take care...wish I had some words of wisdom. Sending a hug instead.

I would like to thank everyone for your condolences and prayers. You all are the best friends anyone could every have and wish for. Hugs to you all.
