Devastating News

Hello, Tonight my family and I received some devastating news. My brother in law of 29 yrs, Tom has inoperable liver cancer and has only about 4 months, maybe a little longer to live. He is only 57 yrs old. This is going to be especially hard on my father in law who is 86 yrs of age, I worry that this will take it's toll on him. Never mind what it will do to my husband, losing his only sibling. I have never written about Tom because he never really came up in one of my posts, funny now that I think about it. So let me share some things about this wonderful man with you now. My mother in law Elsie told me that Tom was the type of kid growing up that would order the cheapest thing on the menu, he did not want you to spend your money on him, while my husband would order lobster! Tom has always been very independent and hard working. He took good care of his wife and son. He was later divorced, but then he met someone again and is living with her now, her name is Janet too. Tom has always been so sweet to me, to our kids, and in general he is like that with everyone. He would always remember to send or come by with a card and gift for the kids for their birthdays and special occasions. When we all get together, we always have a lot of laughs, he has a great sense of humor too. And through the years he has remained my husbands best friend. Up until this summer when Tom started getting sick, they would go on Motorcycle rides just about every Sunday together. It seems like it was just yesterday my mother in law Elsie left us, but it has been 4 yrs already. The only thought that brings me any type of comfort right now is thinking that Elsie is up in heaven preparing a beautiful garden for her and Tom to be reunited in, just as beautiful as the gardens she made here on Earth.
Thank you so much for visiting,
Love ya,
Janet :)

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are doing well, I am feeling heart broken today for many reasons. Most of all because I went to the waterfront to walk and I just could not. The loss of Sue came upon me. I never took the time to grieve for her I was to busy taking care of my sick mother. Even though she walks with me in spirit, I just was not ready. I will try again tomorrow. She was the best and funniest friend I ever had. She died at the age of 59 from Pancreatic cancer. On the first day we moved in she came over with a spaghetti dinner so we did not have to cook while unpacking. She use to call Scotty buckwheat when he was little because of his curls. When Mark Carboney was shot and killed here in Kingston Ma there helicopters flying over us because they were looking in the conservation area for another suspect. Sue and I were out on the street talking and she said I am going to go make blueberry muffins and fresh coffee in case the suspect stops by my house, that is how funny she was. She introduced me to the gay world, all her friends were gay men. That is why I love to hang out with them they are funny and sweet. Not like girls. On my Birthday she brought me a big cake and gift certificate to buy myself some clothes all the way from Wareham because she had moved about a year before. When she got sick, I helped take care of her. I would bring her fruit and I gave her her last hair cut. That type of cancer spreads so fast that she was gone in a couple of months. I told her I loved her like a mother. She is the only friend too who took the time to meet my mother and she brought her flowers and a fruit basket. I could just go on and on but I guess you can tell by this post so far she was an Angel on Earth and still is. I was also heart broken today to learn that Charleen was so mad that I posted the Jenn video on here and kidded about the red sox connection and Jason Varitek that they don't want me walking with them. I was just trying to bring attention to the cause and I am a kidder as well, I like to make people laugh, Jack was upset about it too, but he said they are very protective of their family and a little wound tight. If she did not want anyone to share her video she should have not put a share link on it, DAH!! So now I am going to start my own team. Team Josephine and If no one joins me then I will walk alone. I like my alone time but lately I am feeling it too much. Alone with no friends to hang out with. I will probably start hanging with Emily after work, I love her, she is smart enough at her age to know she does not want to get married, she just dates guys and dumps them when she is done with them LOL! I just can't stand sitting in this house night after night anymore. Sue picked this song to be played at her funeral. I hope you will be a bridge for me right now Sue. I need it more than ever. Love and Miss you. Any of the Jenn team out there you better stop visiting my blog and checking up on me. I will no longer post shit about you and your cause, only mine. Now I am going to go out to my deck and stare up to the stars, have a good cry and get it out. Then start over again tomorrow.
Thanks for vising my blog,
Love ya,
Janet :)
