Absent for a while
 

Dear Friends,

Many of you know my mother has been very ill for the past two years. Tonight I received a phone call from one of my sisters that she has now been diagnosed with a brain tumor. I am leaving for Wilkes-Barre tomorrow morning and don't know when I'll be back. I've advised Alex and he is going to look into The Deep End now and again while I'm away.

Thank you.

Cathy

Oh, Cathy, what can I say—

Take all care, and whenever you can, let us know how things stand.

much love,

Cally

Catherine:

I have been where you are. I know. I know. I feel.

Don't worry about the Sphere. Take care of yourself and family. We've all been there, or will be there.

My prayers are with you
 

Hello Cathy,

Nice to meet you though the occasion is a sad one.Hope you are out of the denial phase to accept this very bad news which is always difficult to accept.I do not ramble around much on Eratosphere but I was hurt by this disclosure as well. The reason being my own ailing 90 years old mother who lives with me. I know how such bad news give one a jolt and how one cannot shake it off.

Cathy though we do not know each other on the level others know you but my sympathies and sincerest of prayers are with you.

Take care.....warmest regards/Abid

Cathy, some of us have already been there....or will be as Michael said. It's not an easy trip...our mothers are mighty special to us. I am so glad you are able to fly home to be with her...our thoughts and love fly with you.

Pat

Cathy,

My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry. Peace to you, and my prayers.

Sad news indeed, Cathy. Words are of little comfort when has such trials, but I know you have inner resources. Vaya con dios.

Wishing you sympathy and strength, Susan
