Almost Over
2009 November 20
I’m still planning on going to see Gina tomorrow. There are no guarantees she will make it through the night. The cancer is in her bones. She has two different types of infections. She is still in the hospital on IV antibiotics and they are keeping her comfortable. She recognizes everyone but doesn’t understand why they are there. It’s for the best. The sheer pain and panic I hear in her husband’s voice haunts me. I feel an unbelievably strong need to see her one more time. I hope I get that chance tomorrow. I’m still in shock over how fast it all happened. I appreciate everyone who has called, commented and e-mailed.

Cindy,
I had no Idea. I am so sorry! What can I do to help you? I will be praying for her family and for her peace. I am sorry I have not called you, I lost your number.
I am so so sorry!
Love you,
Rana
Suddenly, the importance of what to do and where to be and how to respond … it’s moments like these that count the most. I’m fasting in silence beginning now.

Oh Cyndi, I just saw your posts about your friend. I’m so so sorry, words can’t even tell you how sorry I am. I am thinking of you- please know that many of us are there, giving you virtual hugs and hoping to comfort you in some small way, and to comfort Gina’s family.
Love,
jess
Good luck, Cyndi. When I went to see my Grammy for the last time I KNEW it’d be the last time and that’s such a tough thing to grasp. I tried not to dwell on it, but just soak up the last bit of her I could and appreciate it. I hope Gina is alert enough for you to have that, too.

Cyndi,
I am so, so, so sorry to hear this. I know I’ve never met your friend but I can’t imagine what you’re going through, what she’s going through & her family – and my heart goes out to all of you. I promise to keep her in my prayers. I am never good at knowing what to say when these things happen, so the only thing I can offer is my faith and lots of prayers. Hang in there…
Sincerely,
Jaime
Thank you SO much everyone!
