So the NHS has scheduled my biopsy for 5 minutes before Christmas which not only means I can worry* about the results over the entire festive season, it has properly mucked up any travel plans I would normally have made. I’ll spend it writing, instead, see how far I can mine my imagination.

If money and distance were no object , if anything you could dream up was possible – what would you do over the festive season?



*not really

Just wanted to say ...Thank You to those who have been supportive to me on the recent loss of my Mother...I appreciate it very much !!

Well....Yesterday I was at the Hospice where Linda was and when I was there...It seemsd that her eyes might be open just a Hair...so I asked the Nurse about the way she looked and she came in and told me.."Shes awake..she can hear you"....So after the Nurse left.I sat there feeling awkward as to what to say...I held her hand and began by talking about the way things used to be and all that and laughing after what I said as if she was laughing along with me(She never moved)..But for some reason I found it odd that after all this time (never opening her eyes)That she was awake(so to speak)for the only time in 2 weeks....I stayed with her for 3 hours...Her pillow was all wet and I had to get the nirse who told me.."Thats what happens when they are in this condition...So I held her head as the Nurse changed the Pillow case and then put a Towel over the Pillow.........When I moved her head..her eyes opened wide for a split second...And her mouth moved...but no sound..........I stayed with Linda for as long as I could...But I had to go(I had borrowed a car(Truck broke down) and I had to get it back...I kissed Linda on her forehead as I always did and I left..(Not knowing she was hours away from the end)....I just got the call from the Hospice 30 minutes ago...Linda has finally passed away(Was just getting ready to go see her too)..Poor thing...To have to die from starvation and thirst(And all Thats left is the Memories of watching her daily die in this way......I never want to or will be a part of watching someone die in this fashion ever again....."May God Bless you and take you with him Linda".."Youll always be "My Little Sister"............But its strange that she was awake for her final hours for me......Scary and Haunting it will always be............"Some where somehow..Ill find you Linda"...(those were the last words I said to her as I was Leaving).....And now shes gone.......And yes Ken........Im crying like hell right now...................(A 2nd or 3rd opinion and she possibly could still be here now)....But...Shes gone........(Happy Hollidays)(Not this Year)......

This stuffed toy of grey mouse was bought by my sister when she was abroad. Recently she came back with her husband and gave the cartoon toy to Dad, said maybe Dad like it, she thought Dad was a kid?

Now let's see what happened then ...

---

At first, Dad saw it with a bit curious, then asked "what is this?"
"It's a cartoon toy, a mouse. Is it cute?" WIth mo answer, Dad watched it again seemed no interested in it. but we thought the mouse looked lovely. Its size is good for hold by hand. I put it on Dad 's bed. After seconds, he picked it up, and threw away on the floor beyond my expectation. I picked up again and threw it back to him.the poor mouse was fallen down on floor again and again and ...

I laughed loud, Dad got a bit annoyed, but not really mean it. He just didn't like the grey mouse on his bed, and I wanted him doing some exercise, so we repeated this Toss games till he felt tired ...

Watching on this, my sister said; "Now I know why Dad neve bought dolls for me when I was a kid. coz he didn't like them at all!" She felt sorry that Dad only bought wind-up toys for her. Also felt sad that 10 years later, when all her toys ( still in good condition ) transfered to me, all were broken down by me. My naive and curious ruined them, I thought I could restore them again, but the restoration never happend, and end up of a pile of messy parts there and sister 's grumble ...

In my old memory, once Dad bought an air balloon for me along the street. I wanted to take it back home to play, but unfortunately the balloon was blown away from my small hand over a bridge when we walked home. The balloon belonged to me just 5 mins. As Dad refused to buy a new one, my dream of playing was gone. Gone With The Wind !!

Now the grey mouse was accompanyed by Miss hedgehog.They are together sitting there, Hope he is not boring at my home ...
By the way, would anyone know the name of the grey mouse? Thanks!

Since writing about "Linda"...I have been to see her every day for its getting very near the end....She has shriveled down to nothing...Skin amd Bones...She doesnt open her eyes anymore...Her voice is a very high pitch ...And what she says cannot be understood ....Her Kidneys have shut down now amd they cant try to give her Liquids as she would drown..They say.......She would drown??!!!....For Christ Sakes!! That would be better to do that than for her to Suffer a slow agonizing death from starvation and Cancer!!!.....ITs Scary to look at someone whos cryibg out from deep inside themselves and they are not responding to what you say anymore.....Its sad that this is how we treat are fellow Human beings....Let them slowly die an agonizing Death While those who come who care the most are Horrified as to what they are seeing and Have to go Through....)We as Humans would not let an Animal suffer this way....Imagine your Dog or Cat is suffering..And you go and visit Him everyday and see the pain and him looking at you....Of course that will never be that way(You wouldnt stand for it would you?..Humanity wouldnt Stand for it.."Its the Humane thing to do".....But its not when it comes to Humans ..is it?..........To watch someone slowly die from Starvation ,,No Liquids and a slow killing desease that is Cancer....Goes against life itself.........According to the Nurse..She has 2 days to 2 weeks to live(If you want to call it that)......I get to go and watch what another day closer to dying looks like today......And yes...I do wish that she would just die....For all concerned..especially for her..............I dont want your Pity..Thats not what this is about....Its about Linda and all the Other Lindas out there.......Im positive if it was up to linda she would wanted to "Go" already....."Its not fair..Its not right"...Its a torture thats instilled on "Our Loved Ones" by Others...(Whoever they are)....And we allow them to do this.....And its awfully hard not to break down being a Man in front of other people........And the worst part for those who remain behind?...Were left with all these wonderful vivid memories of watching someone die ever so slowly every damned day til finally "They Are Taken".........This is the 1st time Ive gone through this....And it surely will be the Last........Youll never know the Horrors Ive been through till youve been through it yourself.....People in this condition should be allowed to go of their choosing....We wouldnt do this to an Animal......So tell me...."Whats is wrong here?"...............God?...Will you Please take her now?.................Please?..............

My fiance and I are planning to celebrate Christmas abroad. but I am not sure he would enjoy it because he was an atheist. and this will be my first experience of parting with my parents at Christmas time. we usually celebrate with another family and my fiance does not ever want to join. I believe in the end it will be like a regular holiday... uuuffff.

First I wish to thank everyone who has read my past posts & especially the ones who left me such motivating comments, sharing with others is a good way for us to realize we are all people with similar problems with similar solutions by sharing.

Today I was out and about shopping, oh not Xmas shopping like most the other folks I observed while I was out. I had to stock up some vittles and pick up some medicine from my pharmacy today, I did notice the majority of the people out today was not smiling and enjoying their shopping. Has our society forgotten Xmas is about family memories, we give ourselves all this stress this time of the year shopping for the perfect gift(s) for all the special ones in our lives, but how many of you are missing out on many of the pre-holiday fun? All the lights and displays this time of the year is just awesome, most of all the excitement on the children is the most precious gift of all. Xmas is not suppose to be about the gift(s) we give or receive, Xmas is suppose to be about love and family memories which will outlast whatever gift(s) you give or receive most of the time. Take some time to enjoy this time of the year, before you know it Xmas will be here and gone. For me Xmas is about the time I am able to spend with my loved ones, see my family is not as close as I would like us to be any other time of the year but Xmas Eve.

Make Some Awesome Xmas Memories This Year

When he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
Luke 15:20


Last February, John Allen, a British lawyer living in Holland, smiled across the supper table at his wife and three sons, ages eight to fourteen. Someone snapped a picture. They were happy. A family vacation to Indonesia was in the works.


Five months later the five Allens boarded Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, but somewhere over Ukraine the plane was blown out of the sky. The whole family perished in an instant, along with their fellow passengers.

We can’t comprehend the evil and calamity in the world. Such tragedies deeply upset and depress us, but they also represent a poignant reminder. Take every opportunity to cherish your loved ones. If you’re peeved with a family member, forgive them. If you’ve neglected them, give them a call. If you’ve rebelled against your dad or mom, go home with the humble attitude of a repentant prodigal. If you’ve been tense with your kids, give them an extra hug. If you live far away, work harder to stay in touch. Whatever it takes, take care of your family as well as you can. It’s at the core of God’s plan and provision for the world.

God bless everyone!

Like every creature I came to this world without knowing what was ahead for me, I was fed by others people hands, I was wrapped in some robe or whatever it was, I didn't care for anything, cause everything was awaiting to get me later in life, but that day of the week was, Monday.

I love to read the newspaper in a set fashion.

First the sports, then the section with the funnies and the advice letters, then the business section, followed by the local news section and last the front page section.

I think I like the advice letters section because people just can't figure some of the simplest things out by themselves. In this letter I have chosen to blog about this woman has a son that is slightly overweight and Mom just frets about it.

She goes on and on about how he used to listen and mind when he was a young boy but now that he has grown up he doesn't seem to want to listen to her advice. She further complains that she made an appointment for him to see a doctor but he didn't show for the visit. She is also in a tizz because he hasn't explained anything to her.

The advice columnist ripped into her and said, basically, you need to mind your own business now that your son has grown up.

My advice would have been: He listened to you as a kid because he had to. He also surely thought that "when I grow up" and you know the rest of the story.

I think he has her figured out not to respond to her pushiness and just in one ear and out the other then he forgets about it. Pretty slick dude!!
