Guest guest Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Beth Thank you for lighting a candle...if you only knew what that represented for Joe. One of the many subjects we talked about just days before his death is the Eternity Candle I have at my mom and dad's graves and how he bought a similar candle for his grandma - whom he adored. He told me how special these candles were to him, and how beautiful they were. You have touched a part of my heart where Joe still lives and I thank you for that. I am thankful that the testimony of Joe's life here on earth was a reminder to you of the many gifts and purposes we have here. Today I took a gift to my Aunt for her birthday, and she and my Uncle were struggling. All the business of taking care of arrangements was done, and all the many supporters went home. The quiet was almost deafening to them. I am grateful beyond words to be at their house today and share in their day, and at the same time, it still is so very sad. Again, Thank you!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Beth I would think, moving to another state, your dad would have to take a test to be licensed in that state. Or was your mom referring to still having your dad's license from New York? I would definately go along to the Department of Motor Vehicles, on 'test' day and clue them in. Maybe then it would be in writing. And, as you requested, I will keep you, your mom and dad, and your family in my prayers. There is power in prayer and sometimes these things have a way of working themselves out. Sending comforting hugs your way~ Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Beth After reading your post to Courage, concerning the bracelets and quilts, I couldn't just set here and not comment. I am so very impressed by your heart...the caring and compassion you have shown for so many people. You have re-directed negative anger and put it to a positive use giving to others who were suffering. My heart aches for you as you relive the memories of 9/11. I can only imagine, living so many miles away, what you must have/and still are going through. I am comforted by your faith, and knowing that, I know you will continue to be a survivor. Today, I will say extra prayers for you, all day, that God continue to use you as one of His very important messengers.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Beth In regards to wondering if our loved ones know more than we think they do...a couple years ago, when my dad was able to talk a little, he would stand in his room at the NH, look into the mirror, grab the vanity and shout " Why me, Why me?!! " Each time I heard this, it took every ounce of strength I had to tell my dad I didn't know why him, or why me, but that we were in this 'til the end'. It still breaks my heart thinking of the fear and anger my dad had toward his life with LBD. Even though his passing is lonely for me, I know he is spared the emotional roller coaster that LBD was taking him on. Now, my eyes have a leak... Thinking of you today.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Beth Thank you for sharing your story of living with epilepsy. I have a day job with Aramark, and we are the caterers for Pioneer/Dupont. A gal named Ann worked with us for a while. She was 25ish, and was very open that she had epilepsy. One day, it was only she and I in the kitchen and she had one of her grand mall seizures. There were so many things she could have hurt herself on...a tile floor, metal cupboards, heavy plastic carts...so I held on to her for the 15-20 minutes it took to get through the seizure. She was so stiff that I couldn't lay her down so we stood, I held her and watched to make sure she was fine. When she started to loosen, someone else came into the kitchen so I asked to call for help. Ann was still not real coherent so an ambulance was called and she was taken to the hospital. The next day she hugged me, with tears, thanking me for being there for her. I told her I would do it again, in a heartbeat. Also, my oldest nephew (will be 12 July 4th) had a seizure when he was just a little guy, maybe 2 or 3 yrs old. My brother and SIL had no idea, at the time, what was happening, and my brother ended up doing CPR on his son. After testing, it was discovered he was having petit mall seizures, something he may grow out of. He still takes medication, and my brother and I have talked that they may take him off the med. but are somewhat scared, since he is doing so much better...don't know if he is/has grown out of the seizures or the med. is continuing to help. I guess I feel there is no other real reason we are all here on earth, than to help others, through whatever struggles and/or situations life deals us. I am so glad to know that you have found some angels in your life, to comfort, console, and care about you. Sounds like the one EMT was a perfect example of that. :-)) Thinking of you today, and wishing I could reach through here and give you a hug!
