Yes, I've had a service dog to help me for the last 21 years...

ahhh if something seems too good to be true... Hamilton appears to be the photo for a puppy mill front...

Guess I need to let it rest... and grieve.

Hi Jean Sis'

Getting 'another' service dog [right away] is not a bad idea
?
It will take some time to complete it's training [in any case]
and while you are grieving for Caleb...
which, as 'pet-lovers' ourselves, we completely understand
The new dog, will certainly become, a valid distraction [in part]
and aid you, in your acceptance, of Caleb's passing

As I said 'above', you do, still have, so much more love to give

God bless you in your coming days


As for 'puppy mills'
I pray that whatever dog you obtain [from, WHATEVER SOURCE]
learns to provide you with excellent support [service]

Thanks Dave.

Today I learned that my psychologist (who helps me with pain and stress management)...who's been out all last week and expected to be in office this week... will be out 2 more weeks at least! (He's battling esophageal cancer surgery, chemo, radiation)...

Please please pray for him.

Me too... I'm really not doing well... I'm not doing this well at all.

Hi Jean Sis'

Our Lord gives us different 'paths' to walk, for sure

My Mary has inoperable esophageal cancer
~that has already metastasized, into her stomach lining
Her third# infusion, is coming-up real soon and already ~the positive signs are:
that she can now eat and swallow food 'normally' again
Her weight [before] of nine and a half stones [@14 lbs per 'stone' ]
dwindled away, and fell to only 5 stones [70 lbs]
and only just-recently, climbed again, to 77 lbs

Her white cell 'count' has also fallen, which indicates
that her immune system, has now, been compromised
and if it isn't allowed to recover
[by ceasing interim chemo treatment (tablets) between infusions]
then, she will have-to forego the planned chemo treatment schedule

Mary has been instructed [advised] to stay away from crowded places
and especially, 'anyone' who is obviously ill with infection
Because, she has little, or no ability to resist infections [presently]

Of course, you have been included in my prayers
You are in God's hands now, so be aware
that it is LOVE that will see you through these difficult times
AND, that you get back that, which, you FIRST, put in

From my heart, to you .......... Love yourself [as you are]
He gives us 'purpose', [His purpose] \o/

Another dog,
# Will provide you with 'company' that you cannot ignore [?]
# Will give you, the need to love [someone, other than yourself]
# Provide you with companionship
# inspiration / necessity ....the 'drive' to get up and enjoy every new day
[if not for you, then, for your-companion]

!! When darkness approaches ...> seek 'the light of your life'


Hang in there, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+3&version=NIV

That the Lord give you reason to praise Him and glorify His Holy Name

 

[drjean]

Oh Dave!

Thank you for the info and encouragement... may God bless you and Mary with health very soon!

I continue to try to get out of the tall weeds I'm in... but even with this, see, I have been so selfish... like my life is all about me or something...

and then I wonder why...when Mary has you and you both have a life together to enjoy...as does my doctor... and then me, with no one and nothing to do or be...yet I'm not the one with cancer... nothing is fair.

I really really need Jesus to return soon.

We [ALL OF US] see 'times'
~when 'the reason for' our existence, can and does seem 'non-existent'

Times, when EVERYTHING ~is a seemingly 'never-ending' uphill-struggle

But truly, I have been through such experiences
and can recount and have announced.... how for-me
a new day has dawned and the old day has become irrelevant
~save for it being 'a step toward' my 'new today'
and which.....
had I climbed-up to that noose, that night [?] I and so-many others
[since that night] ~would have MISSED, my days since


Quite 'HOW' Mary and I were first 'introduced' [?] is, also for me
quite miraculous [I have been impotent for many years]
so, our relationship [engaged] is not a carnal one [?]

Her family, have 'adopted' me [so to speak]
and I have found them, to have 'hearts of gold' too! \o/

There have been 'stormy days and nights' since my night alone
~in the shed at the end of the garden, back in Bristol [pre-divorce]
The 'night', when
I was told, to "Wait until morning, things will be different then"

AND THEY WERE \o/

'Wait upon The Lord' ....
It rings in my head, whenever I found myself 'limited' / 'despondent'

Read entire chapter, Isaiah 40 ~especially verse 31


He doesn't bring us to face anything, without that He also sees us through it
He never closes a door to us, without, that He also opens another [?]
He is always FAITHFUL... why then ? should we not be likewise ?

Questions ?
Yes, I have had them.... Why did I come to be here with Mary
~so-far from my family ?

We have both had money deducted from our pensions
[because, TOGETHER, our monies were above the limit allowed, for, 'a couple']
iow: we would both, have been better-off remaining apart [single]


Was I led here [?] to see her through this 'time' of her life [?]
if so, then I will do my very best to acquit myself, in the best way I can

Our lives are -[it seems]-filled, with 'stuff' which arrives, to befuddle us
[task us, with confusion] and, for-sure, we do not have answers, to cope with them
But, He does
I have-to 'acknowledge' the fact, that in times when, I found myself WONTING
I saw these things 'dealt-with' and made innocuous ~and comfort, again, was mine

Keep strong in your faith Sis' Jean ... "it will all come out in the wash"

[rebornfree]

I've not been on here for a couple of days, so only just catching up with the posts.

Dave, thanks for your prayers. I managed to get to one appointment but not the other, but I plan to do so in a couple of weeks, as I think it is the Lord's direction for me. Thanks for supporting me in prayer with that.
You and Mary are in my prayers daily.

Jean - I do not think you are being selfish; we need to grieve our losses. I have been praying for you daily too.

Update from our friend 'Pat' [in Alabama]

Great news!
Brother-in-law Paul called this morning.
He just received the results
from a CT scan earlier this week and he is free of cancer.
Will go back in 2 months for follow-up scan
but wants you to still keep him in your prayers.

We know our Lord is faithful
and hears ALL of our prayers
and, can 'hear' even, the groanings of our hearts
["from Him, nothing is hid"]
That, the Good Shepherd will NOT lose, even, a single sheep
Let us therefore, give God, the praise and the glory \o/
for His 'answers' to prayers

Praying for you, Angelwind, and your family. I'm sorry about the news of your husband's passing suddenly. We know that God is in control, even when we don't understand what has happened or why; and that God knows everything, and all that happens is for a reason. Praying for comfort and peace for you at this time of the loss of your loved one. God bless you and your family.
