I have noticed that here are some who are having hard times, whether it be a family member who is ill and themselves going in for surgery and could use someone to listen to them. I think perhaps this might be a good thread to offer a kind word or any suggestion to make them feel better.
Also to those who have lost anyone, it would be a good place to offer one's sympathy.
I thought this might be good when I read CajunQuilter2's worry about her dear uncle. I would like to tell her that he will only be going to a better place with no pain. I am sure that he did hear you as you spoke to him and that it gave him much comfort.
