god bless you brothers and sisters;.
we have a part time job opening in inglewood, ca.. job title: appointment setter-fingerprinter-occasional counter work.
description: outbound calls from the given list for appointments and handling incoming calls.
Sounds like a nice job, leaves the mornings open for field service. Any problems with getting the Friday afternoon off for the DA? The commute might be a bit much for me though.

i've been thinking about this alot tonite.
what do i talk about with my uncle when i see him on wednesday?
this will be the last time i see him alive.
You may have to dig deep to find something but there may be something you haven't thought of. I wish you well BB and I love you.
Thanks A&W, I've been trying to think of something, but really, there's not much there. I can't even remember a time before 1973/74 that we were all together for even a meal! After my dad was DF'd for smoking their relationship changed (even after he was reinstated).
my mother believed in the resurrection, so I encouraged her to think about it. If that's his hope, ask him about it. I don't know what's running the universe, but if there is a way my mother could see her parents again, I hope it happened.
That's his hope to Hortensia, he's been an elder for longer than I've been alive! lol In my other thread about him dying I mentioned about "talking" to my father (he's been gone for alomst 6 years) and telling him he's going to be seeing his brother soon, to be there for him and to welcome him "home".
((((((Tyrone)))))) Your words touched me the most, thank you.
Ask for his favorite memory of him and your dad.
That is exactly what I was thinking this morning momz. My mom told me a few stories from my dad last night, how he used to protect his little brother from the bullies when the JW's were under ban here in Canada back in the '30's. He'd hold his hand when they walked to school and carry a big stick to hit the bullies with.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

my mom just called me and told me my uncle is dying.
he has aplastic anemia and only has between 2 and 14 days left to live.
the only treatment for aplastic amenia is bone marrow or cord blood transplant, which we all know he can't have.
Would you mind saying hello to my dad for me? I really wanted to communicate with him just once more. It made me hope for a moment that there really was a heaven.
WT, funny you should say this. Tonite I was "talking" with my father (he's been gone for almost 6 years now) and told him to get ready to see his brother again, to be there for him and welcome him "home".

I've been thinking about this alot tonite. What do I talk about with my uncle when I see him on Wednesday? This will be the last time I see him alive. What do you say to someone that's dying and knows it? It's not like we really have shared memories to fall back on and talk about. I'm at a loss here.

Thank you all for your comments. There are some posts I'd like to address but tonite I'm just a bit too drained. Thank you again, it really means alot to me to read your responses.

a few weeks ago, as you may already know, my sister called me an apostate and told me that she wants nothing to do w/ me.
i have since explained some things to my mother, an active witness, and she respects my concerns and decision.
i've sent text messages to my sister, as well as made a few phone calls to her, but they all have gone unanswered.
Aaawwww sweetie! That is such good news! I know how much you've been missing your sister and the tears you've shed over this. I hope this opens the door abit more for future conversations.

My mom just called me and told me my uncle is dying. He has Aplastic Anemia and only has between 2 and 14 days left to live. The only treatment for Aplastic Amenia is Bone Marrow or Cord Blood transplant, which we all know he can't have. Apparently he was told that even with the treatment, his prognosis is not good.
I'm not sure how I feel about his dying. We've never been very close, my dad was always the "black sheep" of the family, had been DF'd, was never an Elder or MS, inactive for many years, and my uncle was the uber Elder. He was less than civil to my DF'd brother at our fathers (his brother) funeral. The last time I saw him was three years ago, I invited him out for a BBQ and never heard from him again. While it's not like his passing will leave a whole in my life, it's more the fact that this was my fathers only sibling, and with him gone, it's like it's the last link to my father. Even though they were nothing alike (my dad was warm and loving, my uncle was cold), they were very alike in looks. When I last saw my uncle it was two years after my dad died and it was just like he was here with me again, they looked so much alike.
My mom is going to go see him on Wednesday and I think I'm going to go with her, to say goodbye.

what have you been doing today?
i have spent the last 7 hours, deleting emails.
i had over 7000, when i started.
Can he walk on his front legs, if you lift up the back legs, like on a leash?
Yep, we put a towel under her and lift up her back end, she can shuffle on her front legs enough to get outside to do her business. She's supposed to rest as much as possible, I have frozen pea packs to put on her knee several times a day and am supposed to do some massage and flexing, although that didn't go over too well with her earlier and now I'm afraid to do it again! .

Well, my doggie had surgery this week and today is her first full day home. Poor thing can't walk on her back legs for a while, so we've been keeping a close eye on her, lifting her outside to go to the bathroom, putting ice packs on her knee that was operated on. I played scrabble on Facebook with Tara (2 games), A&W (I think we're on our third game) and Uzzah. Made sirlion medalions with roasted potatoes and salad for supper. Took my other dog for a good walk in the snow.
