I want to take just a minute to thank all of you who post beautiful pictures, and cute litte stories, and lots of family whatever on this site. We are going through a pretty rough time with DH and cancer treatments, so when I get a chance to come here and smile for a couple of minutes, I really enjoy that. It takes a little of the stress off. We had a minor crisis this morning at about 4am, and here it is 4pm and I am just getting home and settled down. I know I need to find a corner to cry in, but I am going to be stronger than that, and we will get through this together. Just Thanx again to all of you for being here

wolfkitty 10-29-2010 02:34 PM

Glad to be here for you! Any time you need to talk, we are here!

janRN 10-29-2010 02:36 PM

You are welcome! And I want to echo your thanks to everyone. I have spent a lot of time here just reading and looking at all the great pics instead of banging my head against the wall or bawling my eyes out. I use this board for "therapy"-much cheaper than the doc. I can escape everything here. I hope that works for you too IBQUILTIN-sounds like you need a friend (or lots)--we're here for you!

I will keep You in my prayers. It seems like You are going thru a really rough times. Sometimes when You cry it releases some of the pressure.

Take care as best You can ....Alice

Cancer is just hateful....I know. If ever you need to talk, I am here. If you want to cry, I am here for that too but I always just went in the shower and by the time I came out I was feeling so much better.....Some days are just hard. Go and relax......

C.Cal Quilt Girl 10-29-2010 02:42 PM

Sometimes you just have to let loose, then do what you have to do, Hope it Gets Better !!!! ((((Hugs))))

pojo 10-29-2010 02:42 PM

GrannyW5 10-29-2010 03:05 PM

Sorry to hear about your stress. I will be praying for you.

lovequilts 10-29-2010 03:14 PM

We're here for you. Hang in there. Rest and think about all that makes you happy.

When I'm really down, I go the the fabric store and just look at the fabric and touch it. That alone brightens my spirits.

mollymct 10-29-2010 03:20 PM

*Hug* I'm so sorry.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 10-29-2010 03:37 PM

This board is a great pick-me-up!

As for stick bugs, central IL is covered with them in the fall! We could probably build a whole tree with them.

Ramona Byrd 10-29-2010 03:55 PM

I'm so sorry about your worries, I did the same thing, I came to my computer when life seemed bleak and horrid. Visiting on the Internet kept me sane, more or less, family and friends did more.

We are here at any time you want to talk about anything at all.
Just write us.

amandasgramma 10-29-2010 03:57 PM

Oh, IBQUILTIN........I've been where you are. Praying for strength for you and health for your husband. {{{{HUGS}}}}

This is the stress busting site, for sure. I wouldn't have made it through the last three years without my quilt board fix.

There are a lot of us here that have been over the mountains and still crawling, we'll help anytime you need us.

Hugs

This is a momma mourning dove that nested in my best friends flower box. Kathy was pretty much housebound and this little bird and her broods kept Kathy company and entertained ..

I am so sorry to hear you are going through such a rough time. I wish I could be there to hug you.
I am glad you get some comfort from this site. I hope my jokes and funny stories help take your mind to a different place for a while. It's something we all need sometimes...Stay strong, let us know if we can help....

littlehud 10-29-2010 05:27 PM

I'm so sorry. What a hard time for you and your dear husband. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

luv-e 10-29-2010 05:42 PM

I too I'm sorry you are going through this but I do understand. I'm going through Chemo treatments right now and this is the place I come to too to feel better. Everyone here is so understanding and are genuinely concerned. You will most certainly feel better.
You family will be in my prayers.
Does your community have meetings you could go to for Ca Pt's??? They can help alot.
You be strong.......................................hugs. ..............

SueDor 10-29-2010 05:47 PM

Sorry you are going through a rough time. Like everyone here has said, "Have a good cry and come on to the board."

gloing 10-29-2010 06:50 PM

Hi bequiltin, My prayers are for you and hubbies comfort, and healing. Will continue to pray until told not to. God is with you. oxoxoxoglo

theoldgraymare 10-29-2010 07:27 PM

This board has been a distraction for me too when all I wanted to do was bawl. Praying for you and your husband.

My prayers are with you in this sad and difficult time.

Woodster 10-30-2010 07:50 AM

Prayers and blessings to you, your husband and your families.

mshawii 10-30-2010 09:56 AM

No, No, you should allow yourself to cry when you need to. it relieves the stress and will make you feel better. Don't try to brave it out, it isn't good for you. Just chose your times! My prayers are with you.

sew wishful 10-30-2010 11:55 AM

I'm sorry, IBQUILTIN. I just lost my best friend to cancer. What a struggle for her family. Keep your chin up, keep looking forward, treasure the memories and don't forget we are here for you if you need to cry or shout or just sit quietly and read. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

SandyMac 10-30-2010 01:09 PM

drgranny 10-30-2010 03:44 PM

Yes! haven't seen one a ling time. They are called "walking stick."

Rusty's Mama 10-30-2010 04:06 PM

My thoughts are with you and your hubby. I know the stress cancer brings to a family - it is horrible. Take care! Hugs!

daylily4u 10-30-2010 05:17 PM

I have 'walked in your moccasins'. I will keep you both in my prayers. May the good Lord bless and keep you, in the palm of his hands.

Mimito2 10-30-2010 06:12 PM

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} There are a lot of wonderful, caring people here. Remember to take a few minutes each day for yourself. It will benefit the whole family. Prayers for you and your DH.

lnikkers52 10-30-2010 06:21 PM

be strong for others . But find a place to cry for yourself. It's not a sin to be aching for your loved one

grandma Janice 10-30-2010 06:38 PM

Not only can this board give you a moment or two distraction, where else can you get so much support and people praying for you and your DH. I will add you to my prayer list.

starshine 10-30-2010 06:45 PM

So sorry to hear about your DH, mine survived colon cancer in 2000. I will be praying for your husband, you and your family.
