Starting a new chat page for December. See you all there.

Hello Everyone,
Well we were very lucky and had some nice weather the last few days. It was sunny and 50 degrees.
I got a text late last night that Brent was home safely so I could breathe a sigh of relief.
We had a nice Thanksgiving at Jenny’s. After a wonderful dinner, we played some games and had a lot of fun and laughs.
The following day we…[Read more]

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone and say “I love you” to all that you hold dear.
I love you my Quacker friends.

Adele,
Yes, at only two weeks everything is still very raw and it’s hard to believe it actually happened.
Every milestone is tough as you well know.
I’m so sad that you lost your best friend and greatest support.
I will support you as best that I can.
It’s kind of ironic that you lost your husband and Pena divorced her’s at kind of the same…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
Were you able to get many thank you’s done? I hope so.
That was a good idea to get some books to read with Aizen and Santino.
Yes, I guess I was just thinking about the adults but Aizen and JJ are definitely old enough to feel the losses.
We are doing some cleaning today and Greg will shop tomorrow and Brent should be here some time…[Read more]

Adele,
I’m so glad that Frankie has some good prospects as it always seemed like he went above and beyond for you and Gary. I’ll bet that you will miss his helping hand.
You are right. Life is too short to pass up experiences to be with our loved ones. I would think the past couple of years would have illustrated that to Steph very plainly.…[Read more]

Hi Adele.
I wish Steph would come for Thanksgiving. Or at least let the boys come. Staying away isn’t going to change anything. I’d rather be around people on a holiday after a loss than just stay home. My Mom was buried on Christmas Eve and the next day we flew to Chicago and went to Greg’s Mom’s for Christmas. Everyone asked me If I wanted to go…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
At least we have email and texts and such which we wouldn’t have had 20 years ago.
Yes, everything is raw right now. And really you’ve had two plus years of sadness.
I was just thinking about all the things around the house that Greg does that I wouldn’t even know how to do.
I would have to move.
Have you decided what will happen with…[Read more]

Adele,
Maybe Bobby will come up and watch the ball drop with you. Or maybe some of the grands or great grands. I’ve usually fallen asleep on the couch before that time anyway.
It does make it difficult that you can’t get out of the house otherwise maybe a neighbor would invite you over.
If you lived by me Greg and I would come over and put you…[Read more]

Hi Adele,
It is sad when everyone goes back to work and school and to their everyday lives.
It’s a huge adjustment because your everyday life has been altered forever.
I was surprised to hear that Pina was getting divorced. Wouldn’t that be Enzo’s mother and wouldn’t they be an older couple? Have they been married a long time?
I hope your…[Read more]

Adele,
We are here whenever you need us. To talk, to cry, to vent, to support and hold you up.
Love and hugs,
Gail

Remembering service men and women and their families today.

Adele,
I did not know about the balloon in his heart.
Glad about the neuro test.
Are they keeping him asleep?
Gail

Adele,
Hopefully he will be off the respirator soon and be able to talk.
Prayers sent.
Gail

Adele,
I am continuing to pray and all day long you are in my thoughts.
I wish you were able to go see him. I think that would help both of you very much.
I hope to hear of continual improvement.
Gail

I have the November thread up and running.

Hi Everyone,
Colleen, Brent didn’t move to Omaha he still lives in Colorado. We just decided to meet in Omaha and explore it this year, We have done that many times when we visit him. Either meet in a city or go to his house and travel to a city to find stuff to do. We have visited quite a few different places that way. I’m glad that we chose…[Read more]
