Oh Santa IS commin to town on Christmas Eve .. Jake doesn't know it. I've hired a Santa to come on the 24th like I have the past 2 years. Jake is just nervous because his mamaw is sick and is afraid Santa won't come!

I'm tryin to be strong but there is only so much one person can take and I am nearing the end of my rope.

*I* was in the ER this morning and I may have to go back tonight if I can't get my asthma under control. My chest and my back hurt so bad from coughing.

I appreciate all of your kindness, thoughtfulness and prayer. God knows I NEED it right about now!

So sorry to hear about that asthma Aprile :eek: I hope it cools down soon for ya

*HUGS*
I'll be praying for ya :hugs:

Dear Aprile89, I have asthma too. Try relaxing in a steamy bath, lit with candles. The stress drains away, along with the tightness in your chest.

You have endured much lately, and your body is reacting to the strain. Let youself heal and relax.

I was born with asthma but thank God it went away ;)

Yea, I had asthma when i was younger too, i hated it!!!
anywayz, the love i feel in here is just amazing!!! Keep it up :D

All the stress that is going on probably is triggering your asthma. I just hope everything goes ok with your mom! I also hope Jake has a wonderful christmas. Sounds like he's very worried about his mamaw! I'll keep saying my prayers for at this rough time! :hugs:


Whitebird I'm also sending at a special prayer for you and your sister! You have been a stone beam of support for so many people on here including me! Thank you for that so now, I return it back to you! :hugs: Sending them your way!

SCOTTSMYMAN, Thank you for your kindness and prayers. It really seems that everything that is given here to others, comes back to us thru kindness when we need it ourselves. I'm glad that I was able to give support to you, and things turned out so very well.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, whitebird.:hugs: One surgery is enough to endure let alone two. Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Aprile, Jake is so fortunate to have you as his mom. Even with all that you're going through I think it's so wonderful that you hired a Santa to come on Christmas Eve. Take care of yourself and I will be praying for you, Jake and your mom.:hugs: :hugs: {{{{APRILE}}}}

Aprile89, I loved what you are doing for little Jake, having Santa come to your home.

I hope that you are feeling better today, I'm going to say another prayer for you Mother too.

I have a very dear friend that will have emergency surgery on Friday. He is a kind and gentle man, who has given love and consideration to myself and my family.

This is a very, very serious procedure, and I would ask the kindness of a prayer for a stranger.

Kind thoughts and strength sent, will be greatly appreciated by me.

Thank you.

Prayers to your friend whitebird. I hope all goes well and I wish him a speedy recovery!
Happy Holidays to you and all your loved ones! :hugs: :angel:

My thoughts and prayers will be with you, your friend and his family, whitebird.

I know this as been a challenging time for you and I wish you a Happy Holiday with your loved ones.:hugs:

You got it, whitebird....Also, I have a request, too. A good friend of mine was diagnosed with colon cancer and he needs your prayers and healing thoughts. The docs aren't sure they can do anything for him, but he's going to an oncologist to find out more. One doctor told him he only had two months to live, but another thinks he may be able to help him. He's a great guy with a terrific family. Thanks in advance to you all.

i will be praying for your friend dogstar,, :)

I will keep your friend in my prayers, Dogstar. My grandpa had colon cancer, and they got to it in time. We're all very thankful for that. Just an update on my great grandma, she had her surgery yesterday morning, and is doing fine! I'd like to thank you all once again for your prayers! God bless you all, and have a very Merry Christmas! Drive carefully on the roads, and stay warm, and don't get sick!

Sending healing prayers for your friend Dogstar...and lots of guidance for the medical team. My 50 year old cousin was diagnosed with colon cancer 1.5 years ago, had chemo, radiation, surgery and is here celebrating Christmas with all of us (just takes a few extra naps). Blessings for all - including you during this time.

Thanks tons, you guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. And that's great news about your great-grandma, creed_defaultgirl! :hugs:

Thanks Dogstar, merry Christmas!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, Dogstar. I will send prayers and healing thoughts his way. Please keep us posted on how he's doing.

Your friend is in my thoughts and prayers Dogstar! Hoping all goes well! Keep us posted! :hugs: :angel:

Thanks so much!!! I will keep you all posted. Hopefully, it will be good news! :hugs:

Thank you to everyone for your prayers for my sister, and friend. I deeply apreciate your kindness.

Dogstar, I will aslo say a prayer for your friend. You are such a caring person, I'm sure that he is lucky to have you as his own guardian angel. Keep us posted, and anytime you feel he could use more careing thoughts, and prayers, let us know.

Dogstar,

I'll definitely be praying for your friend! I hope that something works out for him and that something can be done to help him through this :hugs:


Hi Whitebird!

How was your Christmas :hugs:

You guys are the best. I'm ready to cry...THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!

Your Welcome Dogstar
HUGS!
I think its just terrible when bad things happen to good people and we should all be there for eachother during tough times! Make life so much easier when there are people out there thinking about others :) :D

Keeping your friend in my prayers Kerri. Believe it or not, my girlfriend was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 40 and had surgery and chemo and is back in action these days, taking care of her 7 & 5 year old daughters. These days it's NOT a death sentence.

Teri is right Kerri :)
My sister in laws Mom Teresa was given,just a few months when she was diagnosed with cancer this last time and she is still here with us and she has out lived the time they gave her to live back in Sept, October! There is still hope and help out there!

Thanks for all the positive vibes, you guys. That's what I'm hoping for!!! He has a pretty good attitude about it so far, which is good!

Yes that is a good thing Kerri ;) I've learned that the more positive you are about things like this the better your chances of getting better are! I wish him the best and he will be in my thoughts and prayers :hugs:

You're right, Julie. I've found that to be true too although it's not always easy. Faith and hope can be very powerful in helping us get through hard times along with the power of prayer and loved from people who care. Kerri, your friend's positive attitude will really help him during this time. I wish him well and hope he has a full recovery.:hugs:

Thank you so much! :hugs:

I need prayer for myself, I am kinda loosing faith in God and everything else,so please be in prayer. Thanks

I'm sorry to hear you're having a difficult time, Kevin.:hugs: I will send some prayers your way.

Will do, MrSeeker :hugs: I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. It sucks.

Mr. Seeker, I'll say a prayer too. Sometimes people that think that they are loosing their faith in God and humanity, are simply losing sight of it. Take a mental step back, and try looking again, you may just find that you have never really lost it.

To everyone that said a prayer for my friend that was having surgery today. Thank you very, very much!!! He has survived the surgery, and is doing very well.

Peace

Ohhh, that's great to hear, whitebird. Thanks for the update! I will keep your friend in my prayers!

Thanks for all your prayers. And thanks for you advice whitebird...
It just seems like I have a dark cloud over me and everthing I believe is fading. Thanks again

I've been feeling pretty much the same way lately Kevin :( :confused:

That's wonderful news, whitebird. I'm so happy to hear this great news. I will continue to pray for improving health and a speedy recovery for him.



I'm sorry to hear that, Julie.:hugs: I'll say some prayers for you too.
