Just a note to say Thank You to all.

As some of the music I listen to talks about the hands of time get heavier everyday. This forum and members have helped lighten the load this old mule carries. Thanks for great info on so many things a the smiles for the humor sent my way. I will share some things which is.. my assignment. I'm the sole caretaker of my wife of over 30 years and almost 9yrs ago she came down with pneumonia and she already had asthma since she was a child. She went to the hospital and now she has a little over 30 percent of her lung power which limits a lot of things she can do. I check her thru the night worry about power outages along with being housekeeper which I am behind on, cook and so on. The exchange of stories pics and info give me those moments to recharge. I am a high risk as I have some high risk problems that I have to keep in check. Almost all my old friends and contacts have been called home. At a time long I tried Facebook and that went south in a hurry but as the load got heavier I needed a outlet besides my duties and workouts. That's when I stumbled upon this forum but my start was shaky but there was that thread that I grabbed and now I have that bit of time outside my assignment. So again thank you to all sincerely and yes I will stumble at times as the wheels on this old wagon don't turn as well. All of you are good medicine in my shaky days. God bless all and your families.

Glad me can provide relief.

I’m sure we.. ahem.. can add a little stress sometimes too

I started out on several forums and never really felt like I fit in anywhere. I’ve always been a lone wolf, so to speak, as I am most at peace when I am alone.

This forum has become like a little family to me. Takes me out of life’s seriousness when I need it to, and provides lot of info when needed. They tolerate me here.

I know that feeling all too well, when I was going through with my issue, this place was a great escape, great people here, glad this place helped you out, take care!

My wife was sick for 8 years before she passed. My own health isn't very good. I know exactly what you're talking about. Its good to have a place where you can chat with like minded folks, relax a bit and hopefully share a laugh or two.

Your not alone, there is a good group here, and surpringly quite a number who are in similar situations to your own, myself included.

This should have said “We” not autocorrect to me …

Thank you for sharing your heart. Life can be inconvenient and messy, increasingly so as we age. Sometimes you wonder, "Why?" I take great peace in the fact that "we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love the Lord, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

This life is pretty good, and the next one will be perfect.

I consider several of you characters to be my online friends and I thank you for your fellowship and comradery.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

I’m just glad to find another “ invincible”. It was awful lonely being the only one.

Took ya awhile to find it but you got here. I’m glad.

Like others here I lost my wife five years ago and several months ago I lost another love of my life to a heart attack. As with my wife, she also died in my arms. I'm still trying to figure out how I'll ever survive the hand I've been dealt. But don't feel sorry for me. Both of my loves made me feel like the luckiest man in the world. They were heaven's gift to me. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I'll finish my life journey alone with only happy memories to keep me going. One of life's enjoyments I still have are my daily visits here, and I seldom log off without a smile on my face. Our members here are a cross-section of the good the still thrives in our country. God bless all of you.

We all have our moments and seeing what fits us. It’s a good difference here compared to the other forum I came from.

I am aware of the peace and painless space on the other side as I really did die three times and the last time my wife did CPR for over 40 minutes according to EMTs then was in a coma for almost 20 hours. Doctor told my wife that she would have to put me on a home because he will be like a 3 year old and she said he already acts that way and after 10 days she took me home. That was in 2012 it was evident that she would need me. 2016 was when I took her to the hospital and several times last year. Probably said to much so I will finish on the high side. I'm still here because God gets a kick out of watching me screw up and the Devil still has a restraining order on me so I'm kinda stuck here.
