The Time Between Now and Never:

[Kassy]

When my grandfather was in a coma....( he had cancer spread throughout his entire body, including his spine),, my family and relatives almost held a vigil, by his bedside at the hospital.
For a week, he held on after "the surgery"...
Day after day, we would walk in, one by one, to be alone with him in "i.c.u".
My realitives sat outside, while i walked in, to see my grandfather for the last time.
I told him many things........he was in a coma, but the nurses told me to talk to him anyway.
I did, i told him how sorry i was that we never saw eye to eye, and for our differences, for there were many.
I then told him , that i forgave him, over a situation, i shall not talk about here.
As i forgave him, a tear rolled down his cheek...and as i said he WAS in a coma.
He heard me. ..i know this......
Just needed to share that.....
Chele, i will be waiting for the post to see what i can do to help Fi through this time.

Life can seem harsh, and cruel.

I read this thread early this morning..and at the
time i couldn't post...i just cried..but i came
back..and im crying even more....

I thank God everyday that my parents are both
fairly healthy and that i have them back in my
life....and everytime i see them now...i tell
them i love them...cause growing up it was never
said...i just knew it..in my heart...
i had to lose contact with them to realize
i needed to hear that from them...so i took the
iniative when i came back to their lives...and
now we share the words...

Dave...whether your dad can acknowledge you or not...
tell him you love him...not only to make you feel
better...but just in case in there somewhere he
can hear you....let him know...let him hear it...

Fi...all i can do is *HUG* you tight...and tell you
my thoughts and prayers are with you and your
family...

i consider you both my friend even though we dont
know each other very well...and i [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ya..
in good times and bad...

Wow Fi I'm so sorry to hear about your dad -hugs ya tight- Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers in this very difficult time.

Dave I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I think that no matter what your father knows deep down the love you have for him, but I believe it will do wonders for you both for you to tell him you love him. Just my opinion.... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whatever you have to say, say it to them now. If you don't, you'll learn that talking to a gravestone is just that.

My heart goes out to all of you who are going through tough times right now. Most of us have been through it at least once and we all know how much it sucks and how hard it is. Just know that your friends here are right there beside you for the entire journey.... [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Chele I'll be waiting for your thread.... [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img]

paiges is your brother ok? not being too familiar with the od term..i feel stupid for asking but honest..is he ok now? *hugs you*


I spoke to Dave this afternoon and his father has gone down hill very fast. He isnt expected to make it thru the night. please keep him in your thoughts guys...ask for a peaceful parting and strength for our Dave. His words always make us feel better. I just wish we had some words help him thru this too.

I spoke to Fiona this afternoon as well. She sounded so very tired. She has told me her father passed along peacefully and i thank a higher power for that. The poor man has been in extreme pain and suffering for quite some time. I dont know if im supposed to be posting such personal things but i feel i need to. Fi needs our thoughts too as she is going to have to say some words at her fathers service. Maybe with all of us thinking good thoughts for her and for dave it will help them in some small way.

Fi and dave you both are in my thoughts tonite and im sending all my love to you both. [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
