alone

Well here I sit all alone, my wife and the kids have gone to be with my father in-law. The hose is so quiet. 2 more days of work on this shift than I will go to Prescott with them. I have noticed that every time a phone rings I jump, than I look at the caller ID and I am glad when it is work.

I do want to thank all of you for your prayers, I don’t know how one can make it with out them.

I still find my self praying more for Carl than for my self. How hard it must be to losing your mate?

As for my father in law I think he is ready to be done. He has quit taking all of his medication except the morphine. He has quit eating and drinking. Well I am not even sure that what I said is all that clear but I thank you for letting me talk for a while.
I brought up the other thread and had my wife read all of your responses when she was done she was crying and deeply touched by your caring. Where else can I find that?

May God bless every one of you.

you aren't alone no matter how empty the house may be... besides this forum, you have hundreds of prayers and thoughts from people across the country. God bless, and keep you & yours strong. i have the strength of the replies i've gotten here to bring me up.
think of your dad-in-law always. the replies from the people here will give you comfort in the coming days.

That sucks to hear about your loss of family man. One thing though, never try to feel alone, there is probably a ton of people that are with you in spirit, more then you can imagine! I know its kind of a corny red/green saying, but keep your stick on the ice man, youll be ok

We haven't forgotten you here.

I know about the caller i.d. thing. In my Dad's last year, I jumped every time my pager went off. Then one day...

Stay strong,

Erik

The waiting is the worst and the sense of helplessness. But your prayers are being heard and there are many praying with you and for you and family for the strength and the peace that comes from God. God bless.

I'm sure there are many people on this site who would like to speak up but, see so many well worded and thought out responces, are reluctant to reply. Me, for one.

But, here goes....

You are NOT alone on FTE. We are all out here praying for you, hoping for the best, worrying, not knowing what to say, wishing things were different and just plain thinking about you and your situation.

lenny1carl... this is for you as well.

Thank you for sharing with us.

You know you are not alone.

You posted that - and it proves it

You know we are here, and we are

And yes, we do think of you, and wish we could do something more than just say "HELLO - WE ARE WITH YOU"

We are far away in geographical space. But our hearts are the same, and we care about you.

The internet brings us together, and that is a good thing.
