Time keeps getting away from me. And since AOL did away with their journals I really have not been much into on line journaling! It is hard to keep up with others without alerts.
Bethany got her cast off last Friday and is doing well.
My mom is doing much better too.
Bethany and I had really bad week, Probably the worse week of the year, hope never to have another week like it EVER!
Bethany came home from school on Monday and said "Mommy, Maddy's daddy died!" I said "Maddy who?" she does have a few friends named Maddy, BUT I just knew what was coming next. "Maddy R, mommy!" I said "OH MY GOD!" I was in shock! I had to wait and call Maddy's mom after I was done work! I asked her if I heard was true! She said it was and I cried, (I still cry re-telling it). I told her I was so sorry! I asked her if there was anything we could do for her, she said NO BUT if there was anything she could do for us, her husband was such a giving man she wants to keep his memory alive and do for others as he had done! Then she asked if we could bring Bethany over as Maddy was asking for her. It's so sad he was such a good man. He was a police officer, actually a violent crimes detective, he served in dessert storm. His viewing was huge! I never saw such a large veiwing. There were changing of the gaurds and police horses. He loved Journey, they played Journey at his veiwing.
It was so sad. My heart aches for his wife and children! He is going to be missed!

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It is never easy and especially this close to the holidays. He sounded like a fine person and I'm sure God is looking after him now.
Hugs, Joyce

So sorry for that family's loss especially around the holidays. I hope that your daughter can be there for her friend during her time of need.

I too have a hard time keeping up without alerts.
So sorry to hear of your friends death
So very sad. My condolences and prayers go out to all in need.
Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Horribly sad to hear of Maddy's father's passing. I'm glad Bethany could be such good support for the girl (and that her cast is off).
Glad to hear your mother's doing well / better.
Can't imagine how the holidays will feel for that family.
I am so very sorry about this. He sounds like a very good man who will be much missed.
So sorry...it really seems like lots of folks have passed this week. It is very sad for the families. I have thought a lot about these folks today and how sad their Thanksgiving is.

I'm terribly sorry to hear the news about your friend. It's never easy and this time of year seems to increase the sensitivity to the pain.
As for alerts, do you use the alert/feed option on the dashboard? It helps me.
