I'll pause to think of her often; very often. My granddaughter is 13. Yes, too young for such a thing.

I'll pause to think of her often; very often. My granddaughter is 13. Yes, too young for such a thing.
When my (then 13-yo) son had brain surgery, it was very scary. The best thing you can do for them is listen and if they ask for anything that you can do/give then put your heart into it and do/give it. What sounds silly or superfluous to you may be a Big Deal to her/them. (A tiny example--my son was reluctant to shower because of the hassle of covering his PICC entry to waterproof it--so a true genius bought him shower gel that was red and in an IV bag dispenser.)
I've had a couple of misdiagnosed medical scares. When I started feeling sorry for myself, I used this trick to slap some sense into my myself:
I imagined that one of my children had the diagnosis. I know I would have wished it was me instead. So I just pretended I got my wish.
I told this to a friend who was dying. She teared, touched my hand, and thanked me. Later, when we were together with others, just before she died, she caught my eye and nodded. I knew why. She had peace.
Hope helpful. Sas

"Your dog?"
"No-ooo...pat pat... this, below the belt."
"Ah, 50..."

And my wife got released from the hospital and is home and feeling better. Of course tomorrow she gets refills on her meds (now I need a best-seller to pay for everything:mrgreen: - at the price of these meds how can anyone afford to be sick).
I'm in the doghouse and my angel says that she won't contribute to WF any more because I stole her thunder on a thread that I pointed out to her today. Sparks really fly when two Scorpians (not scorpions, but almost) fall out. I've tried apologising to her but I also need to apologise to you lot as you may have lost an interesting contributor. Sorry. She'll come back from the greenhouse eventually no doubt.
I'll admit I'm not very adept at a lot of things but pissing off my wife is a piece of cake.:DQuote:
