Hello,

punch_vj

I have not been on site in many months...it is coming up on the six month aniversary of my beloved siter Peg's sunset i am working, functional I suppose....but inwardly disoriented and so very broken hearted. The family has done all the major holidays since Oct 11, 2009~another one this week. i hurt so on her birthday Feb 21, I thought I'd break into. I'm a teacher, and I typically work p/t in the summer~not last summer however, I stayed with peg all the time...I think I need this summer off to facilitate....something. I felt forced in a way to return to being as close to "normal" as I could be within the first few weeks of saying goodbye to her.So much is "frozen" and neglected in my "life' right now...I think I'm hoping the summer off will help get things settled~since everyone says this is how we get better and deal unitl we are all together again.

Thank you, I'm so very heart-happy to see all the same folks posting: Craig, Kimby, Phil ~Blessing, always

welcome back!
I am so sorry you are still having a very hard time with the loss of your dear sister. I was on a forced hiatus around the time you joined last year, so I don't recognize you, but the pain is definitely familiar. Day by day, be strong and know that she is in such a peaceful place now! I lost my dear mother in 2006 during my 2nd recurrence battle and I still miss her very much; she was my rock when I was first diagnosed and it's been tough fighting without her, but fight it I do! I pray your summer off will rejuvenate and bring you back to a more peaceful and settled place.
