Update on Rich

    • Gold Top Dog

    Julie I am terribly sorry that you and Rich are going through this. I will keep you both in my prayers.

     

      As a side note, I have been toying with the idea of quitting these past few weeks and I needed something to boost me over the edge. Thank you for sharing your story, I am going to quit.

     Julie, as always, our hearts and prayers are with you and Rich.  Mike is trying to quit again.

    Julie, thank you for the update.  I don't get over to the Spiritual Section very often, but you've both been in my thoughts and prayers. I know you'll find the strength within yourself to deal with whatever comes.

    Have been thinking of you and am glad you checked in, even with this difficult news. I'll continue to pray and hope for ease and a gentle passing for Rich and comfort for you.  I know this has required you to be stronger than you ever wanted to be...

    I also have been thinking of you and Rich. I just want to say the struggle Rich has gone thru has been something I've told my Dad about in order to convince him to stop smoking. He's had several heart attacks, quit smoking a few times and start again. I've put him on some bad guilt trips, cried, begged BUT I update him every time you update all of us about Rich. Julie, I don't really know you but I want to tell you that you are on my heart and in my thoughts. I pray for strength and comfort as you and Rich go thru this.

    This makes me think of the "Footprints" poem -- where the man looks back over his life as tracks in the sand ... and he's mystified why sometimes at the most difficult times it seemed God left him 'alone' and there was only one set of prints instead of God walking 'by' him.

    God said no ... for it was then that God carried him. 

    you're in my thots far more than you'd imagine.
