For one with no words, you’ve said it beautifully. I pray things will work out for you all.

I’m so sorry. We relate to the memory stuff; my husband’s mom is going through it. It’s very hard to watch when someone’s memory fades and their personality changes, especially when it’s someone you love.

I will pray for your dad and your mom.

My heart is heavy for you; I wish I was there to hug you and stroke your hair and whisper promises that you’ll get through this. All I can do is sit here, two states away, and wish my dear friend wasn’t facing what we all fear. I love you, Mary. And even as you say you have no words, your words are poetic and agonizingly beautiful – they fall and thud because you so poignantly put to words what fear does to us when those we love, and hate, and count on, begin to fade.

Awwww Mary, I can feel your anguish. It builds in my throat as I read your words. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I only wish I were there to hug you in person and make you a cup of tea to cry into. Love you.

I think your words describe your pain very effectively. I’m so sorry.

Your words lead me directly back to my father’s cancer in 1995 and the five years that followed. So much emotion and feeling we have for our parents. Our not perfect but much loved parents.

Take a few days away from the computer if you need to.

Hugs,
Di
