Rande, my thoughts and prayers go out to your wife and family in this most difficult time. I feel for you. I lost my 1st wife to leukemia 10 years ago, leaving me with a 2 year old daughter to raise. Fortunately remarried now for 5 years to a wonderful woman who is also a widow. Have 4 kids now combined. Most important thing is never lose faith and trust the Lord. We never lost hope, right to the end. Even when we knew she was terminal, we had to keep the faith. I remember when she died in the middle of the night, the doctor came in the next morning and asked us cheerfully, "How is the patient doing today?" We all looked up at him with blank stares. Again, all the best and may the Lord be with you at this difficult time. Prophet Often

Rande, you and your wife have all my best wishes and prayers for her full recovery. I have been feeling down in the dumps today about something relatively trivial so thank you for helping me regain my perspective. You have given us so much, I am sure that I as well everyone on this thread would do whatever we could to help you and your loved ones. You have only to ask!

Rande, I conduct a Catholic Communion Service (sort of a "mini" Mass) at two local convalescent homes on Sunday mornings. You and your wife will be in all our prayers in the coming weeks--Mark--

Rande, Please know that you and your wife are in my prayers. One of my closest friend's mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 7 years ago, and it was heartbreaking to see the pain she struggled with and her doctors' difficulty in first diagnosing and then treating her illness. What I do know is that the biggest help to her was, and is, her family and friends non-stop love and support. And your wife will no doubt be helped tremendously by the care you give her. This may sound frivolous, but my friend's mother had a hot tub installed at her house, and it has helped her quite a bit with the pain. And her insurance covered the cost as therapy.

Rande, I lurk nowadays entirely. The last year has taught me the meaning of humility and acceptance. I had to take this opportunity to express myself to you. Your posting carry a charm and sincerity which have not been matched by many posting on SI. Reading your postings shows me that you have a wonderful outlook and intelligence that will help you through whatever you and your family will face. I remember your postings about the tornado. I don't think that anything prepares us for the passing of loved ones or helps us to be with them in their pain and suffering better than a firm belief in God. Buddhist, Muslim, Christian or whatever faith is unimportant as long as I surrender to the power and wisdom of the Grace that God provides. I have found my knees again and have learned that God's grace may be something I do not wish to get but in the end the strength I receive is the gift. Sorry for the preaching but I would bet that you already know this and don't mind me telling you how you touched my heart. Not real hard to do nowadays because I wear it on my sleeve. I am saying my prayers for you and your wonderful wife and family. Good luck, Bill
