Hi guys

I'm so sorry about the vacation. Just got my com back on and running. I was so frusterated with it all, I took a break.

Well... Hate to come back on a down note, I found out my fave uncle passed away on Thursday. My cousin is taking it really hard.

I also found out my 16 yr old cousin (who's dad was my other uncle who passed away last june) has a tumor on her pituitary(SP?) gland. SHe's going to Denver next week, so I have to go see her this weekend. She will have brain surgery next week i think.

I wish I had more positivity to share, at the moment... I"m not too happy. I am so sorry about the vacation everyone. I feel horrible.

I hope everyone has stayed safe and happy since the last time I was on.

TIA! Wow it's so good to see you. Welcome back.

Sorry to hear about all the bad stuff that's been happening to you lately. You are in my thoughts.

Sam

TIA~~ I am so so glad to see you here again. You've been missed. I mso sorry about the losses, but do know that you brightened my day just being here tonight.
-E.

I'm sorry to hear about the tough time you family has been going through. You are all in my thoughts.

It's good to see you back on the forums again!

Thankyou sam It's great to be back... in ways... at least my system is stable again... I think I

Thankyou E. Thankyou so much Feels good to brighten someone's day even when I feel so dim. You put a smile on my face

Thankyou Stormy I am so worried about my cousins. I remember what it felt like to loose my mom, but we all expected that. My uncle was a little more unexpected. My cousins need more thoughts then me.

Please, if you can spare any for my 16 yr old cousin especially, she's diabedic, lost my mom (they were very close), lost her dad, she doesn't know about our uncle yet. Waiting until after her brain surgery. She's gotten really depressed, so she really needs positivity, prayers, thoughts. As well as her sister, brothers, and mom.

aww tia you have been missed by many members and we were all so worried about you!

Dont worry about the vacation, i only did half of mine.

*sending positive vibes and prayers to your family, and to your 16 year old cousin*

Tia, wow you and family have been through a lot. I am sending all the positive vibes and prayers I can for your cousin. I am very sorry for your losses in the family. Hang in there they need you right now but just don't forget to take time for you okay?

Tia! It's good to hear from you even though the news hasn't been the best. Hugs to you, your family, and to the kitties.

May you have the strength to get through this difficult time - troubles always seem to come in groups. BUt welcome back!

Hi Tia! Oh hon, I am so sorry about your uncle and cousin Please keep us updated on your cousin's conditions; until then she's in my prayers. Got my fingers crossed that her surgery is a success
On a positive note, welcome back! You've been missed!

back, Tia. I'm so sorry your family has been going through such a rough patch, and will keep your cousin in my thoughts.

Hi Tia, nice to see you again. I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I just said a prayer for your cousin.

Thankyou guys. I guess in my time away I've forgotten how wonderful you people are.

I am going to see my younger cousin in the hospital later today. Hmmm, I wonder if I can transfer pics from my com, onto my cam? If I can, I think I will put some pics on my cam to show her. Pics of the kittens

I don't really know what else to say, I've been extremely antisocial since Saturday night. I have talked to a few people I realllllly trust and feel close to on the net, one on one, but I've been avoiding phone calls from non family members. I think after the funeral I will be happy again... AND... After my cousin, Kimmy, is out of surgery and recovering.

Thanks

Awww, Tia! TCS members are special, aren't they? You know we'll be here if you need us for anything! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Dear TIA, you are so missed here!!!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!
Hope really see you here mostly!!! :bump:

Ty guys I just came from seeing her. She's in good spirits. We hung with her, and made her laugh.

She knows what is coming, and when I said I felt bed for her, she just shrugged and said 'I have to do it, I have no choice' she's right, she has no choice... 16 with a brain tumor... I had her put our phone # in her cell so she can call me after she's all done with surgery and everything. I don't know when she is leaving to have it done. I am glad to have seen her though

I feel lots better actually, since I have seen her. She said she's been getting migrains from stress, and we told her not to stress on it lol What a sweet girl, I just love her.

Thanks you guys

Tia, good to see you back, sorry about all the troubles around for you just now. I'll be thinking of you and your family.

I'm thinking of your family, Tia!

Tia, how wonderful to see you again! I've missed you so much and wondered where you been! I'm so very sorry you lost your Uncle, Tia, how painful for you, and now you are having to deal with your cousin being ill. Please do let us know how your visit goes and keep us updated how she is feeling. Your cousin is definitely in my prayers, as well as are you, friend.

Ty everyone I did visit my cousin yesterday, and she is doing well. She didn't seem her normal happy self, but under the circumstances... I thought she looked great. We saw her laugh, and smile, and joke, and also get sarcastic about her bf dumping her on voicemail. All encouraging signs from her.

SHe told us about her first car, wich she got in a head on collision and totaled. She was okay, and nobody was hurt, but now she has no car...

She talks like there is no chance for a negative outcome on her surgery. She also had a pic of her dad in her room, wich kinda hurt me. I miss him. He passed last June. I am glad she has his pic in her room though, it really made me smile. I cannot have a pic of my mom in the open yet.

I am leaving for Rapid pretty soon, doing last minute kitty duties make sure they are fine while I am gone. Just me and my lilbro are going, with our dad and stepmom. We will be back tomorow night sometime.

I am kinda scared though. I hate funerals, and there will be so many sad people there, it will be hard.

I go from being sad about my uncle, to being scared for my cousin, to feeling bad for my other cousins(who just lost their dad) they just lost their stepdad last june... it's been rough. For our family. All starting with my mom.

Okay, thanks everyone, You all make me feel welcome, and loved I sure did miss you all.

I guess it would help if I clarified one thing. My cousins who just lost their dad last Friday, are step-siblings to my cousin who is having brainsurgery. So... Their dad passed, and their stepsis is having brainsurgery. That is A LOT to handle in one week time, I think.

Thankyou all again.
