Re: Not the news i had hoped for
Shelia,
You have been such an inspiration for me and I am sure hundreds more. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost my dad after a year long battle with lung cancer. I don't think this will comfort you right now, but I found comfort in knowing that he was no longer suffering. I had been grieving him the entire year after his diagnosis as I am sure you have been doing for your mother.
My prayer for you is that you will find peace and rest so that you can better fight your own battle. I am sure that would also be your mother's.
Lots of Hugs,
Sandra
