My thoughts are with friends here.  I know the holidays can be especially difficult with those around us making merry & bright while we can't wait for them to be over.  I went to the mall with my daughter and her baby last night; the first time in four years.  The last time I went was with my son, who had just found out that his cancer had progressed.  We had spent several days in the hospital, and he insisted on signing himself out.  It was, after all, Christmas.  That year he bought his big sister a collection of books they had read as children; his middle sister he built a computer for even as he could hardly bear to sit on the floor to assemble it; and his little sister, who although she was in her early twenties was "his baby" a sterling silver necklace with the "evil eye" to protect her.  God I miss my funny beautiful son.  Life is much less magical without him here :-(

Adrianne, I am praying for you RIGHT NOW.  You are not alone.  Tell me about your son--if that's ok with you.  I'm listening.  Linda V.

Oh wow, I just read Sandy's profile on her page........to my dismay, it's true! We all have to continue to be there for each other as best as we can.

Oh ny goodness Lorraine! I just read your comment about Sandra LaBonte! I don't know how I missed your comment. This is horrible!! Has this info been confirmed?  If it has, when did this occur? Oh how I hope it's not true! God knows that I have been there my self but I decided not to do it because I didn't want my children to experience any more pain.........especially my youngest. I know what she was feeling. This just awful.  Sending hugs to all.

Lisa and Grace, what a wonderful idea/tribute to your children. I think that is beautiful. A friend of mine helped organize a toy event in honor of my son. We collected toys to distribute to children in the Pediatric Unit in the same hospital where my son was. My 21 yr old son had been in the adult ICU but he will always be my "baby".  We will be giving out the toys right before the holidays because alot of them won't be able to go home for Christmas or Hannukah or Eid(Islamic Holiday).        Many hugs to all
