My moms cancer is stage 4 advanced mastitized to the bone all over. It will be weeks to months but she will not live a year.
She wants no heroic measures and wants to be cremated with no ceremony.
They will start morphine tonight to make her comfortable.
It honestly breaks my heart.

She went to see her GP this morning and he didn't like the way she looked and called the EMT's to pick her up and take her to the emergency room. He did tell her that she has lung cancer but that is all I know right now. My sister is with her and they are waiting to speak to someone so I will have more info later.

Today's show was all about Adele and her 21 album. Here are the links so that you can watch or listen to the video's at YouTube. This album is very raw and emotional about finding and losing Love. There aren't many albums these days that are good throughout but I haven't found a song on the album I don't like. Enjoy!

...and well you know the rest. Glenn and I are trying to get back to our regular lives but there is something always pulling us off the track. Now Glenn is very sick and the poor guy feels like he's being punished for something. I for one don't believe in all of that. I do believe in karma and what goes around comes around but not with everything in life. Goodness stuff just happens and getting sick with a cold/flu is just that. He was shaking a lot of hands at the funeral and I'm sure he wasn't washing his hands as often as he usually would because it wasn't a priority that day. Our lease is up by the end of March and we were going to sign for another year because we love it here but those plans have changed and are out of our control. We will deal with it and do what we have to do because that is what family does for one another. Well if it were my personal family no they wouldn't but Glenn's family is different and I like their way of thinking. :) I received a call from my sister this evening and apparently our mom fell and so she drove over to make sure everything was ok. We are thinking the new pain medication that they started her on a week ago is causing dizziness so I told her to stop taking it and let the doctor know tomorrow. Her boyfriend and her are older and he can't be picking her up every time she falls so of course that worries all of us. Just as there weren't instructions on how to raise children there aren't instructions for caring for aging parents that have a mind of their own. I'm so happy that my sister lives near her and can get there if there is an emergency so that takes a weight off my mind but of course I still worry. Now for my son this boy has lost his mind and the things that he has done in the last year have saddened, angered, scared and perplexed me. He woke up one morning and decided he didn't want to be married any longer and left his wife and at the time my 3 year old grandson. He's turned into someone that none of us know and that scares me. I don't know if he's doing drugs, has a tumor or is just plain crazy but I don't think he is being the best person that he can be and definitely not a good father to Brayden. The end of this month they are going to court and I'm fearful of what will happen. They are in South Carolina and I can't be there but my prayers are for all of them including my DIL's family as they have all been through all of this with her all year. I apologize for whatever my son has said and done to them but at this point he is a grown man and I know there is nothing that I can do but I do wonder where I went wrong. So please pray for all of them. It's nice to be able to come here and vent but also I love reading your blogs and learning that none of our lives are easy but it's the way we handle them that is the key. Big or small we all have difficulties in life but we also have great times as well and it's nice to be able to share them. Hugs to all of you :) |

It has been a very long two weeks full of all kinds of emotions. Remy was finally laid to rest on February 11th, 2012 and everything turned out beautifully. We arrived at Forest Lawn (Cypress) at around 8:30am to make sure everything was in order before the guests arrived. Gorgeous Flowers, Family and Friends arrived throughout the day and they all showed their love for Mrs. Remy Balan Catabas and it helped her family get through the day. There was a Rosary Ceremony for just the family in the viewing room that was very touching. At 1:30pm the viewing ended and then the Mass started at 2:30pm - 3:30pm and the chapel was full of friends and family. The priest was very attentive to the family and made all of us feel welcome even if we weren't Roman Catholic. He made us laugh, cry and think about life and love. Remy's daughter Jennifer, husband Eddie and Son Glenn gave their eulogy's and they were all very well done and delivered. Jennifer's was serious and heartfelt about the Life of her Mom, Eddie's was a tearful history about the love found when he met his sweetie and how he will miss her now that she is gone and Glenn's was full of anecdotes to make us laugh and remember Remy's lighter side of life. They all complemented one another and had the rest of us on a roller coaster ride full of emotions. Eddie's brother and family sang for us and we also sang hymns that Remy loved. After mass we all got in our vehicles and went to the grave site to lay Remy to rest. We had a few words from the priest with a prayer and Holy water and then a few songs were preformed by Eddie's brother including a favorite of Remy's, Crazy by Patsy Cline and we all sang along. After a very long day we were invited to a niece's house to enjoy some food, laughter and relaxation with family. We made it to our hotel room before 9pm and I don't remember my head hitting the pillow I was so exhausted. The next morning we checked out and headed to Seal Beach for some fresh salty air and I put my toes in the water and of course a wave got me soaked from the knees down. heheheheh Went to lunch with a friend and then got on the freeway to head home to Vegas. Now we will try and figure out how we will carry on without the glue that held this family together..........RIP Remy.
