Reality
« on: December 06, 2006, 07:44:40 PM »
Seven years ago Thomas and I were in the hospital. Dec 8th was his transplant day to receive the new bone marrow. This time of year I wish I could just go away but reality is here with remaining son needing to go to school; husband "buries" himself into work and I am here floundering. Thought it would get easier sometime or other over time. I wish I could fast forward time from September to March and skip this time. It is painful.

I was with a group tonight that were discussing holiday plans. My only family now is my husband and son. My siblings have refused to have anything to do with me now. I remind them of how bad things can get and they like their rose colored glasses of a "Pollyanna world".

It just hit me about the date. Oh well. Must muddle through this somehow.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this impossibly difficult time.  I, too, wish I could go to bed and wake up in January.

I know it's painful.. very painful. I went through it too with Sara.. she had the bmt.. and passed due to complications from it... everyday she got worse and worse. I hate this time of year the most. It's so hard... I too have only my son and husband, and it's so hard to see them so hurt too. And I try and be the strong one... I don't know how I do it, but I do.
Just know you are not alone.... Just sorry to hear about your pain.

Gosh your siblings sound like mine...


My oldest brother will be honoring me with his presence
on the 19th...yippee!!!

whatever!

He has showed his true colors already...but he is welcome to visit, to play golf and see Dad...the only reason he is coming is because his wife and daughter are going skiing somewhere up north. 

And he does have to every once in awhile act like he cares..

Sorry,,,,guess I have a little hostility right now...he called last night for the first time in a month.  By the way, none of my family came to my wedding...thank god I have a new family now...so sad....Valerie

Holding you close to my heart and know you are missing your Thomas.

My siblings also have nothing to do with me.  After all, I should be over it. (yea right).

(((Adele)))) - Thinking of you and remembering Thomas.  This time of the year is so hard. I wish we could just skip right over the holidays. 

Wishing it were different.

Love,
Dena, Josh's Mom
