I had only shared "the rest of the story" via PM. But I feel lead to share this now. I wrote a story on the Precious Memories thread on Mother's Day. Talking about my kids bringing me breakfast in bed. I originally started out my post by saying that Mother's Day was full of ups and downs. I changed it, not wanting to take away from how neat it was what my kids had done for me... But now, copied from a PM.....here's the rest of the story. After the part of the story I posted, I fell back to sleep.....and woke up about an hour later...SOBBING. I had a dream about my dad. (who has been dead for 14 years) In my dream ...my dad did not come home all night, and in the morning I said to my mom......what is going on, why didn't dad come home last night. She replied, "he is back in the hospital" I knew immediately in my dream that what she meant was he was back in the hospital because the cancer had come back. In my dream, I slammed my fist down on the table and yelled, DAMMIT. And started crying. well I woke up sobbing...ya know, the difficult to breath...tears rolling down my face type sobbing. My Mike had fallen back to sleep also...my sobbing woke him up. He ask me about 4 or 5 times if I was ok. I could hear him asking, but I could not reply, it was like I was still in dream mode. when I did reply, I simply told him that I had a dream about my dad. I didn't make it to church today. Later when I told Mike about my dream.....I cried again. whew..... Link to the "up" part of the day Message 15795565

Folks, I just want to say how proud I am of the way this thread has rallied around one of our own. I sent that letter knowing that I'm not real good with the pen so I tried to let my heart do the talking. I think we can all take pride in knowing we have quite the quality group of people here. Are we still capitalist pigs.....Yep! But there is nothing wrong with that when we back it by doing the right thing. I myself have had a couple tough "right thing" like calls to make over the past few days. It cost me time and money to do the "right thing" but the reward and satisfaction were well worth the price. Thanks again I'm proud of you people Michael
