      [FONT=Palatino Linotype]I just wanted to share that photo, that is my daughter Stephanie & she is extremely smart when she graduated from High School several yrs back. She was in the top ten in her class she had a 4.0 GPA, well sometime back she decided to go to Medical School to be a Dentist’s Assistant. Well this past Saturday she graduated from Med School & again she had a 4.0 GPA, at least with all the bad things that have gone on in the past yr. [/FONT]

      [FONT=Palatino Linotype] Finally something good has happened, oh & something else my oldest daughter Mary Ann is due to deliver my 4th grandaughter in 7 wks. There is one thing though she has gallstones & has to have them removed after the baby is delivered. It somewhat bothers me due to the fact Debbie had gallbladder surgery in 2000 & a few days after the surgery the GBS set in on her & it just literally devastated her. I can’t help from worrying about this, I just wanted to share the photo. [/FONT]

      [FONT=Palatino Linotype]Something else the Dr at the wound care center said my wound is finally healed & I don’t have to go back there any more. Hooray for that ![/FONT]

      Congratulations Terry to you and your daughter. I will say prayers that your other daughter deliveries a healthy baby and has a successful surgery without complications.

      So glad your arm is better. Good things are starting to happen for you Terry. Embrace them. Take care of yourself.

      [I][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=purple]Thanks Everyone I appreciate it, I had a bad day yesterday. I took a look at the calendar & saw the date, that was all it took. See yesterday would have been mine & Debra’s 31st wedding anniversary, I guess the hurt of losing her is still as strong as ever. Maybe one day the pain of this will finally ease off & I won’t get upset anymore. Anyway Thanks Everyone for your replies ![/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/I]

      Hi Terry! I wished I could give you a hug my friend for I know the heartache and pain that you are going through. It has been 6 years since I lost my father and I still get spells of mourning for him. It will get easier in time, but you will still have those bad days. Especially the special days that you had with each other. My poor mom! She still cries over my father. She’s better than what she was at first but when those special days come along she goes into depression. I noticed something last year and am expecting it to happen again this year. Every February 14th my mom ends up in the hospital. She has done it every year since my father died. That was their Wedding Aniversary and on that date my father always gave her nice gifts. The first year she developed a kidney infection so bad that on February 14th she landed in the ER and they had to do surgery. Found a Uretha Tract tumor causing the infection. Second year she got sick with a virus and dehydrated and ended up 1 week in the hospital. 3rd year same day she had a mild heart attack and we ended up at Pitt having two blockages removed with stints. the 4th year another heart attack. 5th year she ended up getting sick with very high blood pressure and dyhydration and this year is number 6. She is in the process of getting a knee replacement but right now going through the approvals through her other doctors and time is getting close. I just hope she doesn’t land back in the hospital on February 14th. Something about that day now scares me. I told my husband that I would not be surprised if she ends up passing away on February 14th. I sure hope not! But if she does, I will see to it that she gets nothing but beautiful red roses at her gravesite with a very large heart. She would then be joining my father again. It bothers me seeing my mom in so much pain for my father. But yet, I know how she feels. My father was very special to me and when he passed it tore me up! Literally tore me up. My mom can’t drive and get to the grave yard much. I go quite often and see to it he has flowers on his grave. But it just don’t seem real! Seems like it happened yesterday and not 6 years ago! I truely know your pain and it’s not easy dealing with. Sending you several Cyber Hugs your way!

      more so on those special days
