Hi everyone,I am sorry that I have not been able to post as often as I would like to. Recently, my Mom became sick with a cold. Usually that would not be a big deal, right? The difference is that my Mom has COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (similar to Emphysema). She is on oxygen 24/7 and has had this disease for 7 years. It has been difficult to see her suffer and struggle for breath. Then a couple weeks ago, we learned that my close uncle (my Dad's twin brother who is a bachelor and lived with us since he was injured in a farm accident about 30 years ago and still lives

Good evening,Life has a way of letting us know when we need to focus on what is most important to us - the people we love. Almost two weeks ago, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti.

We are truly blessed here.Then, one week ago today I learned that my very close uncle (who is my Dad's twin and who lived with us almost our entire lives and he still lives with my parents) has pancreatic and lung cancer. I was devastated and
