Title: Hope all is well with you guys.
Post by JeffB on Jun 15th, 2007, 10:14pm
It's been a while since I've had a chance to check in with you all but know that I have thought about you guys and hope you and yours are doing well.

I had a chance to talk with Helen last week and I have to tell you what a boost that was for me. I hope you're doing good babydoll, if not, then it's whips and chains! Hope you have a GOOD AIM. ASB, I got your letter and your pm's, I think God worked overtime when he created you, you are a great lady. Not much has changed with me except for the extended and often odd hours i find myself awake helping my pops who I fear may be in his last weeks on this earth.
No longer are we having to spend endless hours at Duke Medical Center these days as we have hospice to help and guide us now. It has really hit home with me that I'm close to losing my father. Sorry if I sound like a wimp or wuss but this man has meant a lot to me and to brother and sister. Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hey, hope all is well.

Jonny, you're a man of great and unequaled qualities. If anyone disagrees with me, I'm the guy with a big bat in Richmond! ;)

Haven't taken that walk yet. My dad and I are tight, he's 79 and not a day goes by I don't worry about how much time we have. Treasure every day you get with him. You're blessed to have the relationship you have, and the priveledge of helping him thru this journey and onto the next. In my prayers.

Hi Jeff.  As you know, I've walked the walk.  Been wondering how you're doing.

All I can say is to say everything that needs to be said.  My very best to you, and to your Dad.

Oh Jeffie - much as it grieves me to admit it we do sort of like you a little bit (you smelly old fart  ;) )

We worry about you too so don't MAKE me call you again (although I will just to hear you crap yourself cos its fun!) Any time you need anything you just say, if you don't I'll kick your arse so hard you won't be able to sit down for a stiletto sticking out of your bum. Day or night if you need us we'll be there.

Now get back to making memories honeybun - seize the day and get that man a damn steak!

lots of love as always
Helen xxx

Jeff - You tend to your father and your relationship with him. Don't take this the wrong way, but he needs you right now more than we do. We'll be here whenever the time is right.

There's no cure for the beast, remember? We'll be here for awhile.

You're doing fine Jeff. Everybody beat themselves up during times like this. The thing is that people seem to do rather well at times like this.

Your posting is one of those things.

Back to your father now.

Jeff, you have no idea of how many times I thought about picking up the phone to call you but was afraid that with my luck, you'd be right in the middle of something serious with your Dad or it just wouldn't be the right time.

   So henceforth....the next time the Bbzz and I get together we are going to call you and harrass you.   Or make you smile, which evercomes comes closest to what you need at that moment.   Be aware I will have you on speaker-phone.   ;)

Linda,  who cannot wait to hug you again in Richmond.

Jeff, you're alright in my book. I'm glad you can be with you're father during this time, I hope I will be able to do the same.  Take care and be well.

Hey Jeff,

If you need to get away for a half day down to Charlotte to meet another clusterhead you give me a yell. Besides the CH thing, I'm also walking the same walk you are on the family thing right now. We engaged hospice about 2 weeks ago for my Dad too. He seems to have gotten a lift from it to be honest. I think he reached a point where the chemo had maxed out its benefit and was toxic from that point on.

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Regards,

Scott

Jeff,

You spend your time with your Dad.  We'll all be here whenever you find a minute to stop in.

But, Ditto what Scott said.  I'm an hour north of Charlotte. If you want to just sit down for a short while with some clusterheads, let us know.

Sandy

DAMNIT!!!   Why wasn't I thinking of this last week, while I was out in the Charlotte/High Point/Hickory/Gastonia/Salisbury area?  GEEZE, I am such a senile old fart!

Remember, Jeff, I am here, only a short ride away in Greenville, NC ...  I am going to be in Clayton on Friday and Saturday.  Maybe I could swing up your way on Sunday?

Maybe we DO need to set up a meet-n-greet, even this close to RichCon ...

Chuck
