Yesterday Sunday Sept 20, 2009 Marked 14 years now since My brother died!!

HI Gabs: so far we've not gotten the grave stone fixed yet so much has been going on out at the farm my Father is in a mad dash to get so many things done before the bad weather comes...( crazy man) LOL! Yeah I wish people would respect the cemeteries too but they don't; Thanks for the sweet comments too on the photo did you see the one of my Brother and I together and his daughter or not? I can't remember DUH!! AND I just was there reading the comments too, talk about brain damaged huh? LOL!!! mercy me! thanks for stopping by dear friend and for your sweet comments on my pics (G)!! love & hugs to you and give dear Gisi some love and hugs from me will you??

I was an aunt by the time I was 4. You see, my brother, who is 18 years older than I am, married the first time the year I was born. I am four years older than his oldest son. This son is the one who gave me the horse, btw. Mother had me when she was 41. Kathy.

Wow! {{Tyc}} I had no idea that you had been through Cancer and so many in your family too; May I ask when you had yours?? Cancer is such a nasty thing I pray you never have to go through it again; so far ( fingers crossed) I myself have not had any but I sure have my fair share of other miserable health problems...(sigh)! Sitting here reading everyone's responses to this discussion has me all teary-eyed again and seeing my brother's photo's again did I tell you he was only 38 years old when he passed away? Thanks again dear friend for all your sweet comments {{love ya}}

HI Kathy: OH Wow! so you were an aunt at the age of 4 huh? GEEZZ! Well at least he gave you the horse right? That's more than my other brother ever did for me... Love & hugs dear friend

Hi Buchi_bulla: Thank you for saying that about my Brother he was a strong person, very strong until the end there; Yeah I've always been there for his kids and boy have they been through some rough times over the years they both are in their mid-to late 20's now; My brother's spirit and my Mom's spirit they both visit me quite often which always makes me happy; I know he had a lot of things unfinished but I guess most people do; thank you for all of your kindness it is very much appreciated; {{huge hugs to you }} take care dear lady; and thank you for your prayer's....

Hi Kathy: Thank you!! My brother did suffer a lot with his Cancer ordeal the chemo really made him so sick and he hated losing his hair most of all; he had a wig styled just like his old hair but in the end he didn't much care he either went around bald headed or wore a baseball cap which was so unusual for him, he was not into sports of any kind and never ever wore a hat of any sort until his cancer came along; No, the grave hasn't been fixed yet My Dad hasn't felt the greatest and he has had so many projects going on out at the farm its a mad dash to get it all done before the bad weather comes...(sigh)!! right now I could fall into bed myself I'm so beat been fighting with stinky diarrhea today and yesterday, gosh maybe I'll lose a pound or two (G)!! That's a hard way to lose weight...LOL! I'm so close to payout but I don't think I'm gonna make it again this month I would have to earn .98 cents today which is possible to do I've made over a $1.00 before in a days time but that was with DSL too..not dial up! and all I really really want to do is go lay down for awhile I'm so pathetic; hope your day is going well its a nice day here just took my dog for a short walk around the yard to do his "business" in case I do fall into bed for a spell. {{love & hugs to you}}

You really have had a rough time here lately with being sick so much, haven't you? Bless your heart! I hope it won't be much longer before you will be feeling better. Yes, cancer is very scary, that's for sure. I just hope I never get it but then, you never know. Ever since daddy had prostate cancer in 1978, I have been going for my yearly every year. I had to have my refrigerator worked on today. Other than that, I've had a pretty good day. It just got to where it wasn't cooling like it should have been and I was concerned that I was going to have to get a new one. I didn't know how I was going to be able to afford one. However, it just turned out that the defrost timer wasn't working properly and he's going to have to order a part for the refrigerator. He fixed the timer, though. I thought what he did today was going to cost me an arm and a leg but it didn't and for that I'm thankful. On top of that, I had water problems about two weeks ago and I was without water for a day or two. What happened was, lightning struck a valve on the timer on my water heater. I started some discussions about this and I will send you the links to them when I get a chance. This happened on Monday and the plumber came around 4:30 or 5:00 on Tuesday. He had to bypass the timer in order for me to have water. However, I had to get another plumber out here on Friday of that week to replace the solenoid valve and work on the transformer on the water heater. The first plumber who came out said he didn't work on timers. It's all so confusing to me. These workmen, especially plumbers, tell me so much until it's hard for me to remember it all and they talk so above my head, if you know what I mean. It's just been a big mess. Talk about being charged an arm and a leg, this cost me a pretty penny! I'm just gald it's all fixed and I hope I don't have any more problems like this for a while. Kathy.
