Thanks Brian...(zukracer @ Feb. 07 2007,14:11) sorry to hear about your friend Michele. There's lots of places in VA that specialize in cancer pain management, so if he's having pain, have him seek the right dr and that will make all the difference in his final days. If you need any information, let me know, my mother is a cancer pain specialist and knows all the drs in VA.
Thoughts and prayers for your friend, family and you. Its tough for sure and sometimes its better to just not fight the tears and let it out.
Just hang a sign that says, "its not me, its you, go away" on you cube
I recall you sharing that info with me when my stepfather was going down...
I won't see Kevin, sadly...I do know that he went to a hospital for treatment options; I'm thinking Duke perhaps? I'm sure they've sent him home with all he'll need to manage the pain, info on hospice and the like...
Now is the time for his family; I recall wishing the rest of the world would just go away so we could have Donnie with just the family 'til he passed...I'm sure his family feels the same...
Great idea on the sign!
Va, feeling your pain just went through this less than a year ago with one of my close friends.... My thoughts and prayers are with you and Kevins family! Seems that no matter how old you are it ain't old enough when it comes to cancer........
I think this has a little to do with the pain you feel right now~ Not that you're not grieving for a dear friend, mind you, but that coupled with the fact that this is someone that you went to school with and basically grew up with really hits home in the reality department of getting older~ We start to realize that our days are more numbered now then years ago when we really didn't think much about it and took those risks that are now seen as squidly in our eyes~ Getting older does suck in more ways then one... we just have to keep singing to ourselves..."I don't want to grow up... I'm a Busa dot org kid..."(VaBusa @ Feb. 07 2007,14:22)'Eh, thanks Brenda...not about me, but damn, this just sucks...
I'm finding I'm really bad at this "getting older" deal
Hang in there, darlin'~
All my thoughts to Kevin and his family...
Damn it Greg! I'm crying again!!! No kidding, helluva day here in my office...you nailed it. This is someone I grew up with, have pics of him stashed away from a trip in the 4th or 5th grade to DC, actually the whole gang is in the shot - my "first friends in VA" from so long ago...hitting too close to home for someone far too young...and his family, just no words...(GJoker @ Feb. 07 2007,14:47)I think this has a little to do with the pain you feel right now~ Not that you're not grieving for a dear friend, mind you, but that coupled with the fact that this is someone that you went to school with and basically grew up with really hits home in the reality department of getting older~ We start to realize that our days are more numbered now then years ago when we really didn't think much about it and took those risks that are now seen as squidly in our eyes~ Getting older does suck in more ways then one... we just have to keep singing to ourselves..."I don't want to grow up...

All my thoughts to Kevin and his family...
Since having my own kids, I just don't cope well with death. Not that anyone does, but something clicked when the kids came along and all I think about are "how will the kids cope?". Can't imagine what's going through his mind right now either...
Damn...I can't keep talking about him today. I'm a puddle...
I need an aspirin!!!
God bless him and his family. I hope and pray that his family has the strength to face this, and even more that God works a miracle for him.
Hey Michelle, I'm sorry to hear. Cancer is some evil stuff. Just buried a friend last night at 46 years old. His parents are tough. It's the third son they have buried. One an infant long ago, and a 35 year old 9 years ago from an brain anuerism. They have 3 children still alive. You are not supposed to bury kids.
Thoughts to family and friends.

Sorry to hear Michelle...
My grandfather was taken by prostate cancer.
I hope his remaining time is spent enjoying life with his family.

Thanks guys...I know so many have experienced this, losing a friend, so young...I'm a bit better today...not much sleep last night, Mike was up too...we both just kind of didn't talk about it too much; not much to say...
Charlie, I'm so sorry to hear of your friend
Far too young to die...and that poor family; just a huge level of loss. You're right, no parent should bury a child
My thoughts are with them as well...
Charlie, I'm so sorry to hear of your friend
