Hello ladies,
I've been off the forum for a couple of months. I've had two family issues to deal with, one good and one bad.
First, the bad. My mother passed away February 10 after a 17-month battle with Ovarian cancer. She had a hysterectomy in Sept. 2004, but the cancer had already spread to her abdomen, and multiple rounds of chemotherapy were not able to stop the spread of the cancer. I spent a few weeks with her in January helping to care for her, and was with her in the hospital when she died. She was only 61 years old.
The good news is that my wife and I are expecting our first child. The due date is March 27, and we are keeping the baby's sex a surprise for now.
My mother knew that there was another grandchild on the way (my sister has three children) and her greatest wish was to live long enough to see another grandchild. Still, she got to see me get married last year, and even came to visit us in December even though she was very sick.
Her final days were not pleasant and we are relieved that she is no longer suffering. We know she is looking down on us from heaven.
I'll try to post more once the baby is born.
