    Very nice Stringer and Shaz, everyone. :)

    Stringer, I know how you feel. A part of me thinks this can't be, that there has to be a way for her to get through this, come back to us. I'm still hoping for a miracle.

    It's so hard isn't it? Especially because we can't see her, can't talk to her, it makes it difficult to accept that she's dying.

    I dread the email or phone call telling me it's over, but I expect it every day. Even though I do, I still think, no, she'll pull through somehow. It's a roller coaster ride.

    I just wish I could be there, hold her hand, hug her, tell her I love her in person.

    I wish I could tell her how much she means to all of us. I'm sure she knows though. Her Aunt is such a wonderful person and she's been telling Starby that we're all thinking of her, praying for her, that we love her.

    I just want our ducky back. Stinger and I still have to find the ultimate duck trap, we're not done yet!

    I know hon, all this is so emotional and confusing to me... when you get older you start to think about things in a different way, you are deeply aware that you are not immortal and you succumb to many realities that you didn't even entertain before. This is a natural and expected progression... BUT when someone may be taken away (for whatever reason) so young... it tears me up inside.

    It gets to me on different levels.

    About 20 some years ago my son was diagnosed with testicular cancer. This cancer is so dangerous, it spreads quickly and it 'jumps' to different parts of the body, especially the lymph nodes. Bryan was about twenty four, married for two years, one daughter. After four hours on the table the surgeon came out to the waiting area. My daughter in law jumped and started toward him... the look on his face told her everything and she fell at his feet crying.

    He told her that at first they thought that they got all of it... but... testing proved different. It had spread to many parts of his body. His wife Marsha was going hysterical. They were going to go back in and do their best to remove most of his lymph nodes. We all had to be strong for him and Marsha. But I finally found time to go outside around the building where no one was and fell to my knees, I couldn't breathe. Why... why was God being so cruel? A father is not to loose his son in such a pointless way. I begged him to PLEASE take me instead... and I was serious, I would truly give my life, I love my son so much. Two hours later, he returned to tell us that they believe they got it all.

    My son has an ugly raised scar from his breast bone down, under his arms and inside his legs, the most beautiful scars that I have ever seen, he is 43 now and very much alive. Many others that I love aren't.

    I am sorry for going into so much detail, but I hate death, it robs, steals and betrays.

    Bryan made it, Starby fight this... get mad, get angry, push harder...
