Hello Jan

My heart goes out to you. I know what you are going through being a
mom myself, and yes it doesn't matter how old your kids get, they
are still your babies.

I'm so glad to hear that your son gets to spend time with his kids.
If there is one thing that will get him through all the nasty chemo
and such is the love from his family. It will keep him going even if
he sometimes feels like saying I'm done.

You did the right thing by taking the anti depressents. Believe it
or not I wouldn't have anything to do with them. But after doing
this for 6 years I couldn't take any more ( Or some everyone told me
because they thought I was going over the deep end ) So I started
taking them ( Just for a while ) and they seems to help me out if
for only one thing to help me focus. ( My spelling is bad sorry )

So I'm here for you if you need to talk. Scream, yell what ever.
Believe me it helps to talk even if the person doensn't say anything
other then listen. It helped me get all my ducks in line.

Well I will be thinking of you and your son and I'll stay a little
prayer..

I need to go to work. God BLess You All

Shell
