[QUOTE="Jody, post: 611170, member: 8787"] A friend of mine that has passed away, Charlotte. She had pancreatic cancer and died two years ago. She had a great faith that I admired so much and she never complained not once during her treatments, and thru all the pain, I never heard a complaint. We had an argument (my fault) and we made up very shortly before she died. I miss her but her strength was incredible. My dad, who has Parkinson's and isn't doing very well, has let me down a lot in the last 25 years but the first 21 years he was definately my hero. sheltering me from my mother's abuse and trying to stand up to her. My dog Broady- when i was having a breakdown, he was there doing what a lot of dogs do naturally, give love and all of that, but there was a difference. He seemed to know which side of my body ached and he'd lay on that side and it would be a comfort and warm. If it were a really bad day, he wouldn't mind not getting a walk or whatever else was in our "normal" routine. I learned I had sleep apnea because I was asleep in a chair and quit breathing three times, and all three times he jumped off the bed, and put his paws on my chest and startled me awake. I went to the Dr. and am now on a cpap machine that helps. When I didnt want to go on because of depression, I knew that I had to because there wasn't anyone who was going to love him and spend time with him like I was. I have said this before in my posts, but having him in my life is like Christmas Morning to a kid. He's now 4 years old. I pray he stays a long time with me. [/QUOTE]
