Help
Please, give one another some time to breathe and settle down.
It is morning for me, and for many of you it is afternoon.
My plea to you today, I must spend the entire day with my mother whose health has been in rapid decline this past year. It has taken much time away from my work, and my attentions to other parts of my life. Today we navigate bad, snowy, driving conditions by transport vehicle to have significant testing done. Yesterday was also involved away from the forum preparing for this day.
This message is of a personal nature, which I do not normally choose to share publicly, but I implore you to be respectful of the forum and of every person who might be reading these pages. Life is precious, and to be watching a loved one disappear before my eyes rocks my core.
With deepest respect for each of you,
Janel

Best wishes, Janel. I hope everything will be okay.
You are right; life is too precious.
You have expected a certain level of decorum and respect in these forums, and for the most part achieved it. We will, of course, honour that expectation.

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

I understand completely. My mother has had three surgeries for brain tumors. The last was only about a month ago. And my mother-in-law passed away last week. Times can be tough. I don't know if you're a religous person, but I'll pray for you and your family.
We all appreciate the work you do here.
Best wishes for you and your family.

Janel:
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Having two elderly parents with a myriad of health issues, I can relate. I hope that things improve for the both of you and you will be in my prayers.

Hi Janel,
I hope everything goes well with your Mother. I know what you are dealing with, My Mother will be 95.
All the best,
Dick

Best wishes to you, Janel! Life is full of ups and downs, we just have to take it as it is. It's no comfort, but anyhow you have a lot of friends and people who admire you and shear your bad time. Things will settle down, I hope so. Lauri.
