Hoping for a better month now that June is here. The old saying that things come in three's was proven wrong in May. All that I can say is that my family is finding strength together and are forging ahead. What did May bring?? First, our friends 14 year old daughter died early in May. She actually out-lived the doctor's predictions by about 10 years but it still isn't an easy thing to deal with especially for her brothers and sisters.

The next was my father-in-law who died just over a week ago. He underwent surgery a few weeks ago and all seemed to be fine. On Saturday, May 22 he had a heart attack and died.

Sunday, May 23 my cousin died. My aunt has now outlived all of her children.

...to bring May to a close, they found an aneurysm in my mothers brain. We will find out in a couple of weeks what the options are.

I'm sorry for bringing this all out here but my wife is out with the children so I just needed to let my guard down and let my emotions go. I will aim for an upbeat end of June summary.

I'm so sorry to hear all of this, keltic. You've come to the right place though. Vent. No one here will mind.

I'm hoping you and your family/friends will get through this.

Keltic,
Don't know what to say to make you feel better except you and your family are in my prayers. I also send a hug your way.

Posted by: Aragorn 01-Jun-2004, 01:18 PM

Will be praying for you my friend. I hope all goes well and best wishes to your family.

E-hugs and prayers from me... God bless.

:'( Hope this doesn't continue. May your June be much better.

Eventually there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. Time can only go one way, and you will get through it! Here's an old piece I finally wrote down in 1997 that I tend to live by during the hard times

?The Hallway?

The hallway
A long finite corridor
How finite one cannot say
At one end, a doorway
one-way doors all along the way

Go through a door and one cannot come back
The glass wall behind one moves perpetually forward
one cannot slow down and one cannot go back
Some of the corridor is lighted, while more is dark and morbid

How far to the end? Noone can know Until it comes
Perpetually walking forward and occasionally looking back
counting the days
With that glass barrier always at one's back

Wow. I can't imagine how you're feeling right now, Keltic. I'm glad you brought this to us. I will definitely pray for you, your family and your mother, my friend, and I know that many of our brothers and sisters here on CR will be praying as well.

Keltic,

I am sadden to hear your news. This is never a good time.

Our Prayers are with you and as Raven and Old Raven said, "Just hang in there and anytime you wish to vent, just say so, there are plenty of people who do care and will help anyway they can.

Month? What year is it?

Posted by: Keltic 01-Jun-2004, 09:29 PM

Thank you all for your wishes and allowing me to 'let go'. I have been through tragic times in the past and have always come through but not so much in such a short span of time.

Posted by: 3Ravens 01-Jun-2004, 11:21 PM

Keltic, you and yours are in my thoughts too. Lots of positive thoughts coming your way......

Posted by: Elspeth 02-Jun-2004, 07:20 AM

Keltic,

Again, wow. Each one of those would be more than enough to deal with. How does one process them all at once? Prayers, cyberhugs, whatever you need.

Keltic,
Oh my. Our prayers are with you, too, as well as hugs and strength to face all of this.

Keltic, my heart goes out to you and your family. We never know what we may face in this life. It does seem as though some people go thru heartaches and trials more than some. What a sad time for your family, I do hope and pray things will be better.

Add my prayers to the chorus, Keltic! And remember, nothing sneaks up on God. He knew about this before it happened and knew just what you would need to get you through it! So let go and depend on Him! He is a BIG God and and He has very big shoulders!

Prayers and hugs, my friend!

Posted by: Annabelle 05-Jun-2004, 07:18 AM

Yea Keltic I have always felt things come in 3's but when they don't start coming you wonder why me?
The problem is good things DO happen to nice people.

I'm so sorry that in May you were surrounded by the death of so many people you cared deeply for. No one can say anything to ever ease the hurt you feel but we all hurt for you my friend.
The one thing that always helps me and you may not feel like hearing it right now cause the wound is too sore and too open for you to feel the words and let your heart heal but these people have paid the ultimate price for the freedom and reward we all hope to obtain.
God (whatever form of religion you practice) is with you. He will help heal you as he has rewarded those who are with him now.
Hugs my friend!

Annabelle
