Possible but hopefully sooner, I have no patience. I'm like a nervous father walking in looking in the incubator every 5 minutes lol

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I would be too!!!

o-O that's the first place he checks, then behind and under the fridge, on top of the stove, behind and under the microwave and don't let him in the bathroom. [emoji33] [emoji33] [emoji33] And whatever you do, don't just don't allow him in the attic or garage. You will never shut him up if finds a mess there.

He would probably get lost and die in my garage!!! [emoji847]

I need help guys!!

My sister in law who had breast cancer at 26 was free and clear for a few years just found out that it has moved to her bones!
They said it’s not an “aggressive” type and will pump her full of drugs.

Well, I heard that she is keeping to herself for now.
I want to send my brother an encouraging text. We don’t ever talk on the phone.

I just don’t know what to say. Can you help me?
I’m not good with words.

Just change all the lamps to a lower wattage so he can't see as well.

Some days and some situations, I'm good with words. Others... Not so much.

Seriously, though, I might be inclined to go with something like... I heard about ____. Sending warmest, kindest, most healing thoughts and thinking about both of you.

@Momof4 You might follow it up with "I'm here for you."

Does that help at all?

This is a difficult one, I always struggle with this as well. The trick is to say what you feel in the heart.

Something along the lines of:

I have just heard about (your sisters name) and the cancer coming back. Please know that we are all thinking of you both and if there is anything that you need, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will be keeping you in my prayers and sincerely believe that (your sisters name) can beat this like she did the first time. Stay strong and Love you guys lots.

@Momof4 Having said the above, I will be thinking of you guys and will keep your sister in my prayers. Cancer is such difficult disease to handle but is not impossible to beat. My Mother had cancer and died from it, but at the same time my father also had it and has been living for many years and still lives today. Also keep in mind that today the treatments have advanced quite a lot and are much better than they ever were before.

Good Friday Everyone,
Today is my last day at work and then I am on holiday, although it looks like that I might just have to come in on the 27th as one of our vessels has been delayed which was supposed to come in today.

Anyway such is the working life.

And today's joke is:

Happy Friday all.

Crazy Winter weather....yes, lots of rain, but the storms sweeping up here from the South brought lots of moist, humid hot air too. It’s 62F outside this morning....25 degrees warmer than yesterday! Crazy!

Maybe just a simple “ I love you no matter what,
and am here if you need me” ???

Prayers and hugs Kathy!
