I know I have not been around much these past two months, so I apologize for coming on here and asking for some support. But it has been a tough last few days.

Those of you that know me, know I have had a dififcult year. My uncle passed away in January, my aunt in May, my Mom we just about lost in May as well but she pulled through, and now another uncle has passed away yesterday morning of COPD the same disease my Mom has. The aunts and uncles are all from my Dad's side of the family which has been hard on all my remaining aunts and uncles (he is from a family of 8).

My mom has lived with COPD for 2.5 years now where as my uncle was only diagnosed in February, this was the first time he went into the hospital with it, he was fine when my parents visited him on Wedneday, early Friday morning his heart gave out and he passed away.

So aside from the straggering loss to all my family with so many members passing this year (my other aunt and uncle were to cancer), my immediate family finds this particularly difficult as we worry more about my Mom now. She is only turning 67 next month and the specialist has said she is end stage in this disease and to spend as much time with her as we can. This has only been made painfully obvious with my uncle going so quickly.

So if you have a moment and can say a prayer I would appreciate it.

Thanks so much.

Thinking of you! Take care of yourself and enjoy each day you have with your precious mom.
We should enjoy each day everyday but it just gets away from us. Time goes so fast.

I am so sorry for the loss of your uncle Donna. I realized you had not been around but only thought it was due to your studies. Of course prayers will be sent your way.

Donna, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It is never easy to watch someone we love so much suffer from a fatal illness. I lost my dad at 56 to cancer and as hard as it was to watch him fade away, I am so grateful that he got to know how much he was loved by all of his family and 100's of friends. Just know that we are here for you!!
