I told you that I would explain my reasons for not allowing comments. Her oldest brother, George, is dying from cancer. It won't be very long before he's no longer with us. They are my maternal second cousins and they mean so much to me. She's really having a difficult time right now and I live almost 700 miles away from her. I hope that my photo helps to make her think about something else, if only for a moment. Thank You for understanding. Rhonda

It took me long enough to figure out where it was. I'm very sorry to hear about these troubles, Rhonda. Cancer is a very sucky thing. Duane's dad died of the same. It robs us of some very good people. But I also think that God has his reason for what he does too. Stay strong. If you have to, stop what you're doing and spend the money you don't have to go see them. I swear, you'll probably end up regreting it if you don't. I never went and saw Duane's dad before he passed. I couldn't get past how pissed off at him I was. And I swear, I should have gone and made my amends. I can still. But not the way I should have in my heart. I hope things are okay with you, and you know how to contact me if you ever need anybody else to talk to. We love you and give your family hugs from us, Velvet and Duane.

My heart goes out to you and to the very closest and the one who is terminal. I have see it too many times, both the wonderful miracle result and healing and the death to this world. God Bless. My thoughts and prayer are will all. TomDart.
