Re: ~This Sounds So Terrible Of Me, Please Forgive Me

Hi Marie,

I know its been awhile since I've last posted, but I do come on here and try to get updates about the Mighty Oak as well as everyone else, but you have been on my mind a lot!!

Oh gosh, I do know what you are going through all too well and I am so sorry that you have to deal with this right now or EVER. Especially since you lost your mother-in-law not to long ago. It isn't easy watching the person you love suffer. I pray that whatever the outcome is that it is peaceful and quick for his sake as well as yours. Death is not an easy thing to watch but know that you we are all here for you and it's OK to yell in your car, scream hysterically or just curse when you need to. Venting gets me through those days and I am now sending you a big cyber hug!!!

Lots of Love to you!
