Karla and I came home for a quick shower and a change of clothes. We ask that you keep our Mother and our Family in your prayers. We posted a few weeks ago that our Mother had been diagnosed with pancreas cancer and was given 6-18 months with chemo. It was a shock to know that we were going to loose her and how unfair life can be. Over the weekend her stomach was in so much distress that she started to hemorrhage. Her blood count dropped to 4.6 and she is now in a coma. The DR's told us that she will not come out of it. As sad as it is we are grateful that she will not suffer the extra months that she would have lived. This will be much easier on her and on us for her not to have to go through that. She has 5 children and we were all there in ICU the night before she slipped into a coma. It was the first time that we were all together in over 5 years. We all let her know that we love her and what a wonderful mother she is. We were all with her last night and will be there for her till she passes.We know that she can hear us and that we are all there because when we talk to her there is an occasional tear. Just wanted to let everyone know that this world was a better place having her in it. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers through this. Love to all of you here, Karla aka (myself) & Paula aka (noidea)

When I took a job and got an apartment in another town he kinda figured it out. It wasn't pleasant but it had to be done. I had a lot of support from family ((Karla)) and ((friends)) *you know who you are. I never looked back and I have no regrets in leaving..it was just time..*past time. I couldn't see me living the rest of my life to make others happy and wake up each day knowing that in my heart I didn't belong there. Things are good in my life and I have an inner peace I have never felt before. I guess I was dying a little each day when I was there and it's wonderful to feel life creeping back in again.

Not Fair
by myself inno, life isnt fair.
there are no answers.
there are unwanted babies being aborted, or given up for adoption while at the same time there are families who are unable to have children of their own.

Hugs to everyone for your concern. You all are very wonderful people. The support here on the board has always been so helpful and appreciated.
Mulan...
I agree with that about the Chemo treatments. It depends on the type of cancer and the stages the person has. I know in our mother's case that her type is one of the most aggressive, painful and hard to treat types..Chemo usually doesn't help much. She is already in stage 3.
The DR's find pancreas cancer hard to study because people that have it don't last long. If surgery were a possibility then it would have been better but it has already spread to some main arteries around the pancreas so surgery can't be done.
She is going to try the Chemo anyway but decided that she wanted to go home for a week first because the CO will be in town..*rolls eyes.
She was diagnosed 3 weeks ago but one biopsy came back negative because it was of fluid and not tissue so now we will be one month into this before she even starts any kind of treatment.
She should do with the remainder of her time enjoying what she wants to do and if going out in service and seeing the CO is what makes her happy then I wont argue that. She is well loved in her congregation and will have a lot of support while she is there.Karla...
What you wrote was so touching...I can't believe you were inspired to write it by what I said..you are a much more eloquent writer and thinker then I am..you got all of that from me saying that "life was so f***ing unfair"..I'll let you be the speaker in the family..*Love ya

Help! Neighbor starting a study
by Trotafox ini am so furious.
the very zealous elderly pioneer sister who lives across the street (alberta) has been canvassing the neighborhood for studies.
i watch her walk up and down the street and being very friendly and helpful with her neighbors (all the while preaching to them i'm sure).

{{Trot}} Just as your neighbor wont be able to absorb all the WT stuff overnight..she will also not be able to absorb all that is wrong with it. I would take it slow. A seed here and there and hopefully she will figure out the rest. You do have the holidays on your side. I'm sure that the woman's granddaughter will be excited about Christmas coming up and it will make them wonder why as suppose to be Christians the JW's don't celebrate it. Many times people study out of loneliness and never become JW's so don't panic.
