Brenda, I am so sorry to hear your news. While none of us “know” each other, we interact so often on these pages there is definitely a relationship formed. Hugs and prayers for you and your husband.

Liz, that’s so true that we have our virtual community here. Like you said, we don’t “know” others, but we do. Thanks for the hugs and prayers. It means a lot to me.

Thank you for my PM Brenda, and as I mentioned to you my thoughts are with you, and you know there are some great old friends here, sadly yes older in years, but happily older in years here in the group and as friends.

These friends are always here if you need to talk, and I wish we could all be close sometimes for a shoulder to cry on and a hug!

As do I Sean.

Sean, I remember years ago how we all wished we could have a group meeting. I think we threatened to come to your place. How wonderful that would be.

Thanks, Pam. Not looking forward to this ordeal, but we have to put our trust in the doctors.

I’m very sorry for the news about your husband. I hope he chooses the best treatment for him & you, be it chemo or palliative care.

We have an upcoming visit with the oncologist to give us information and options, Rick.

My husband died March 30th. He had a heart attack at home and coded on the way to the hospital. Never smoked, never drank, not over weight, never had high blood pressure, last cholesterol was 111. Go figure.

I'm so sorry Sheri for your loss. Take good care of yourself.

Brenda, my heart goes out to you both. Sending good thoughts, prayers and hugs your way.

Sheri, I'm so sorry. Life is just so unfair sometimes.

My condolences Sheri, that’s just awful news 💐

My thoughts and the whole of the membership send our best wishes and thoughts with this sad news.

So sorry for your loss, virtual hugs from us all xx

Sheri, I"m so sorry. Sending virtual hugs.

Thank you everyone. I had just decided to try and had signed up for the PIFM for April and now can't make myself concentrate enough for reading. Maybe next month.

Sheri, my heart breaks for you. Life can be so terribly hard. Sending you lots and lots of cyber hugs. I wish you peace.

Today, Mar 3, 2022 in a few hours we will be saying goodbye to our loved 13-year-old Black Lab, (who we refer to as "Baby Toro"). Toro suffered from Stage 3 Kidney disease and hip dysplasia. He recently lost his ability to stand or walk very far and stopped eating. We lost his brother a red/yellow Lab, Cocco,3 years ago, and Toro missed him a lot. Without having any children, these two were our children and we loved them both very much. Our life will never be the same, but I can only hope that the tears will fade and be replaced by happy memories..

I'm so sorry, Sue, for your loss. I know how special your babies were to you and your husband. Heartfelt condolences to you both. x

Thank you Darren. It was very painful, but now Toro is at peace.

So sorry to hear about Toro, Sue. We had to have our 16 year old blue heeler, Beau, put down 2 years ago due to organ failure. He was a rescue dog we were lucky enough to have in our lives for 15 years. I still miss him every day, but feel blessed to have had him. You will always miss Toro, but you will also always carry the joy of him in your heart. ❤

Thank you Sandy. It has been a hard day, but now Toro is at peace and no more pain. We both feel that Toro was ready to go and be with his brother, who he missed dearly. I am sorry for your loss also.

So Sorry Sue,

Thank you Sean for your kind words. So quiet in the house now.

Here I guess the sad thing about the world today is....

PUTIN !!

What is happening in Ukraine over the last weak is so sad, heart breaking and annoying.

What an evil man, heart breaking last night watching a mum and dad losing a 18 month old baby killed by bombs.

Nato, UK USA all confined to not giving military backup as it would start a WW111 !

I just found out Linda Strong passed away on April 28 of this year. I knew her on Goodreads and NetGalley, and she was a good friend and will be sadly missed. I just found out when I went to her site.
