Was listing to my scanner and they said they were opening a landing spot for the helo just up the road from me.

Naturally, I went to my neighbor's house and asked if she wanted to ride up there. So we took off for the two mile trip.

When we arrived, the helo was already there with the h'wy blocked off. I went to the care in front of me, I knew the driver, and asked what happened.

Kick in the teeth. He said his brother had just killed himself.

I knew his brother but not well but my neighbor's son and this guy were big buddies. Had even gone fishing together this week. She called him and gave him the bad news.

Now this guy was a resource engineer and has worked on some very big projects including the dam project in China. Should not have had money problems but don't know anything his home life, nor do I want to. just a very sad situation all around. Tom

For those of you who have conversed with me, you might remember my mom had some serious health issues as a result of botched surgeries. This is my first chance to check in since I went to stay with her in the hospital right after Thanksgiving. She passed away on 13 December. I stayed at the hospital, University of MO, Columbia unitl the day she passed away, sleeping in the waiting room and showering in the basement locker area.

My praises to the hospital staff who were caring and very understanding, even through a major snow storm. Family members staying with patients were treated to free meals in the cafeteria during the snow storm and its aftermath. The surgeon who operated and had to break the news of my mom's cancer cried during the discussion of continuance of care or withdrawal of prolonged life support in the wake of metastatic cancer. My mom had a living will which made the decision easier for my brother and me. Her nurse from the night shift even called to see how she was doing.

My mom was an extrodinary woman who hunted deer, rabbit, squirrel, and turkey, farmed for a living, had the most wonderful sense of humor, never met a person she couldn't turn into a lifelong friend, and adopted every stray animal that ever crossed her path. My Dad passed away in '02 just before the hubbie went to the big sand box and Mom became ill in '03. We had prayed for a full recovery, but she missed Dad more than she wanted to be tied to the drudgery of daily living here.

I am writing this for Gunpaq.

Last Thursday night the Lord took Mrs. Gunpaq in a tragic auto accident. There was no suffering. She was 55 and leaves behind two daughters and four grandsons.

She had become an avid shooter and enjoyed reading the posts on GunBroker over the shoulder of Gunpaq. The day before the accident she and Gunpaq were out shooting the M1 Garand and their Rugers in the snow.

Your prayers would be welcomed for her family and Gunpaq during this difficult time.

Thank you,
family friend

we have a ten year old German Shepard "Buddy "
he slipped a couple nights ago and his left rear leg just gave out
took him to the vet today , they did some ex-rays . showed what looks to be a huge mass ( tumor ) and arthritis has taken hold in his hips and spine the trip he had on the floor must have just enough to complete pinching the nerve to his leg so no signals are getting to his leg .
he is also missing a testicle ( we knew and was going to have it checked ) vet thinks it was taken over by a tumor pulled up inside and now possibly has cancer and also possible prostate cancer send off some samples ( 650.00 vet bill today )
we had already talked on the way up having Buddy put down was going to be almost a sure thing .
Vet gave him some pain pills and meds to reduce the inflammation , if the test come back as cancer and he has not recovered the use of his leg by Monday
we are going to have the vet come out and with heavy hearts have him put down '
he has been as good of a "buddy " as could be ask for
big old baby looked scary as all get out, but harmless
we got him as a pup from a couple who bought him then decided with in a few weeks they did not want a dog ..
we have been down this road many times during our marriage its never easy , going to be a lot of sad days ahead

I always find this poem comforting:

I Do Not Die

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

Sorry to hear of your loss - but she's forever with you and yours.[8D]
