Sometime later tell them you want to visit them or you want them to come visit you, it is all great.
Lovies,
bree

It was really hard for me to see him the way he was. He lived in Florida for the winter and in Pgh. for the summer. He was down there during the Spring so he could get treated for it. And he told them he didnt want to get treatments anymore because they werent helping. So he gave them up and came up to with his family up here. I wasnt able to go out and see him as soon as he had gotten home. So by the time I had saw him he was really bad. He couldnt get out of bed or do anything. But he was able to talk to me and remember me and who I was. He was in a lot of pain also. It is a hard thing to go through. I know it prolly wasnt the best thing to think, but I would just sit there and hope that he would just let go so he wouldnt be in so much pain anymore. I just didnt want to see him suffer anymore. But my point to my story was because I wasnt really close with some of the people in my family either. But when I needed someone to talk to or just someone to be around, my friends were there for me. Friends are a family of your own, that you, yourself have made. Friends are your family away from home. Always know that they are there for you. I counted on friends when I needed them the most. And they were there.
Hopefully, your family will come to realize that they need to put differences aside and be strong for one another. That is the best advice I have to offer you. I am sorry if this doesnt help, but I truely hope it does. Good Luck Sweetie. Hope it will all work out in the end somehow for ya. [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]
