Thanks for your thoughts, everyone! The funeral was today and could not have gone better. I feel it was exactly what she would have wanted.

Just asking for your prayers for my son Josh;
He just got out of the hospital where he had a turbinoplasty and septoplasty;
They kept him one night and now he's back home

((neesy & josh)) OUCH! That sounds like a dreadful surgery. How's he feeling?

My great-grandmother died Friday night, complications from surgery. She was 98. Luckily, she was able to pass at home--where she'd lived for 70 years. The last four or five years she'd suffered badly from Alzheimer's; she would often try escaping her house, insisting she didn't live there. As well, she often told anyone who would listen that she was waiting for her husband, my great-grandfather, to come home from work. He passed in 1994. If there's an afterlife, I hope they've found each other again, in the dark. And I hope she's no longer confused.

This is very hard, on all of us. She was the center of my family on Dad's side. Please keep us in your prayers.

God bless your sweet great-grandma! My she rest peacefully and may you all find comfort. What a joy you must have been to her!

Very sorry for your loss achtungbaby. I agree I hope they found each other at the clearing at the end of the path...

Growing up - becoming adults - means that we divide
Our hearts into pieces which we scatter far and wide.
We give chunks to parents, spouses, children, lovers, friends...
Hoping, if they break the piece we gave them, that it mends.

Sadly, no one gets through life without a crack or three.
Life is like a journey and nobody rides for free.
When we reach the clearing at the end, the simple fact
Is, the trip was pointless if our hearts are still intact.

Cody, I'm so sorry for your loss and for your pain.
I, too, hope that she's with your great-grandfather again.
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers - though I'll admit
I have not been near my local church in quite a bit.

He is feeling much better - just went downstairs to our spare fridge to get some ice cream (we are going to have some to go with Andy's farewell cake).

Kinda funny - bought the cake at Gunn's Bakery but it was really for us - Andy is not a sweet tooth :bee:

I just feel so alone and unloved. I thought things would get better when I moved back to my hometown. They got worse.

You're not alone - get out there and try to make the best of it. (I know - unsolicited advice and all that). But I made a move once to be closer to someone and it did not turn out - he was a cheater.

Is there anyone in town (relative or friend) who you can turn to? Someone to spend time with to take your mind off it?

((((opeth))))

Hope you feel better soon

....then get out and mingle....nothing in particular, just go out for a walk-might be surprised who you run into and one simple smile can lift a lot of emotional weight.....

....Mike, I can't begin to know or feel the emotional tsunami you've had wash you away this year...just know that we care, and are as close as your keyboard...
....this song is about a spouse, but it sums up the strength and love of a mother as well.....
