Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Ginger, Please know that I understand and I care. You just echo my sentiments and probably those of others. I try to keep on my brave face. Then, the tears just come. I always try to go into the bathroom or somewhere no one will see me. Sometimes I get a call and get so emotional that I have a hard time continuing, but I rarely let anyone know. I believe this is the place to voice our fears, anger and to question why. We understand and we all should be tolerant and supportive of each other. Every one of us have the same feelings. I wondered at Christmas...will I be here next year....same at Mother's Day, etc. I don't question God, but inside I want to know why? I am saddened for Bob and for Jerry in the loss of . When I looked at the website and saw how alive and healthy that she looked in her pictures, it just chilled me. I have cried for these women and thier sweet husbands. This disease just stinks! I will be praying for you Ginger. I hope this wonderful celebration will create the joy in your heart to ease the sadness. Probably the stress of the whole affair is taking it's toll. God's blessings to that wonderful son of yours. It is hard when your baby grows up! Been there. Take care and come back to us with kisses. We all love you.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Ginger, Ditto for me. 4th of July has been my mother's holiday for forever. We have always gone to the park by her house, picniked all day, played games and then lit fireworks at her house at night. This was the first time since she died in March that we went to her house and the park and it was so hard. We all ended up crying and no one felt like doing fireworks-our poor kids! I am so sorry about your husband-at one year the pain must feel so fresh. I will be praying that God comforts you tonight and over the next days and weeks.
