I took in the car show in Novato, Ca. today...second time I've attended. Last year we took Best Muscle Car.  My sweet girl was stuck at home in hospice care. They've been hammering me to do things on my own lately......to get away from the daily caregiver tasking........it was hard and lonely. They told me to prepare for the guilt........there is no way to prepare.

Pardon the downer gang, we all have something. It was just really hard.   :-\

I am sorry to hear about the difficulty you are going through. I am here if you need anything. You are only a short drive away and it wouldnt take me long to get there if you need some help.

twodko

Thanks John, our best to the family.

Julie says hello and se is also saddened by this. She was asking about you earlier while we were at the show in Napa.

twodko

Give her and the kids a hug for us and love them like the first day you fell in love with them.

Tom, dang man, sorry to hear bro.  All I can offer is support here. Wouldn't believe how much talking with your buds here helps at times like these.
I hope all goes well.

Tom, its a bigger man that can say it openly that it is a downer than not.

With respect, enjoy your day and others at the show, knowing that caring and skilled people are providing for what needs to be done when you are not there

I haven't been on the forum much lately as I've been playing the perfect host to some visiting relatives which leaves me with very little timeto sit in front of the pc so I only just came across this.
Erika and I are deeply saddened to hear about your woes Tom.  We wish you and Diane all the best.

No words exist to thank you all for the support.

It should be me, not her. Our game faces fade a little each day but everyone has some trial in their lives and this is ours. It's a neuro horror called Fahr's syndrome...........I can't seem to love her enough.......should have been me.

One day I will have the honor to meet you all upstairs and shake your hands with deep gratitude.

If you want to shake my hand, you'll have to head south  :lol: ........ I'm down under remember.........not sure where that will take me!

I suspect we'll all be upstairs..........we own mopars so we get a pass despite how randy and socially unredeemable we've been on this orb. :icon_smile_big:
