I know it's hard to reveal a lot...and if you tell us the bad you think we will not read anymore. But, that's just NOT true! What are friends for? I for one consider you a friend. I feel like I could tell you anything, even though we've never met. I would hope you would have the confidence that I would not go anywhere no matter what you write.<br>You are a good guy. Your Mum is lucky to have you. I know that is so hard to be a caregiver. I did it for my Mom when she was sick and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Being a caregiver as you are is really one of the toughest things to do on the face of this Earth. I know this. I wish I were there to help you. I'm sorry I'm not. <br>You've lost your freedoms to an extent. Between taking care of your Mum, and your illness, you've lost the freedom to be just Mort for awhile. I'm sorry for that. <br>But, don't ever feel as if you have to hold back to me, ok? I'm not going anywhere. <br>Lots of love to you, Pam xoxoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-11721829911632406162008-06-01T20:34:00.000-07:002008-06-01T20:34:00.000-07:00Mort, J-Land loves you and I don't think anyon...Mort, J-Land loves you and I don't think anyone would abandon you for telling how you feel. We all have good days and bad days and you, my friend have some really bad days. Please share them with us, your friends in J-Land. I hope I can do the same when I need to. You have so much on your shoulders with your mum and your own illness...I pray for both of you.<br>{{{{{HUGS}}}}} JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-26070061399140305162008-06-01T23:05:00.000-07:002008-06-01T23:05:00.000-07:00Dearest Mort, I am SO GLAD that you have been abl...Dearest Mort, I am SO GLAD that you have been able to offload just a little bit of yourself here early in the morning. I know...well I can't know exactly your situation...but I too get down a bit sometimes but can't write about it as my dear sister reads my journal and it would make her worry even more than she does !! so it just remains between me and the pillow ....Never mind today is another day. I did sleep better last night thank goodness. I did though get up and take extra pills as the ones that have been so good up till now don't seem to work all night now.. Today should be a nice one as my friend Pam will be over from Bath and another friend with her. Mary will go and get rolls and some nice ham from the butchers and we will have ham rolls for lunch my Sister made an extra apple crumble for us yesterday so we will have that as well. (The dinner she sent down has gone to Peter my good neighbour !!) I am so lucky to have such a good sister well two of them really but the other one is not quite the same as Sarah..Keep you chin up..

They are to be there for each other. I am going to say one more thing. and let it go for now since we IM'd , N+My son used to saY THANK GOD HE NEVER MARRIED AND HAD KIDS. You have the additional worry of what will happen if you can not take care of your mum. Let's hope it does not come to that, but if it does something will be worked out. All of J-land is behind you 100% and do not forget that.

It's only human to have days where the world just irks the life out of us and we want to scream. I know I have more than my share of them and you must as well. A friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. In other words you won't lose readers for telling us how it really is. It makes you real, human to have those days just like the rest of us.

We can say I would do this or that, but we don't know. You don't need anyone's blessings of course, you handle it the best way you see how. Take care and you do have lots of folks cheering for you, if you need a cheering squad.... Hang in there, I know you will... The best to you and MUM.

I dont have as much physical pain as you do but i have very deep emotional pain . when i write in my private journal i am wrestling with myself, i am putting it down for me to see and come to grips with. that i would not put my friends in the sad position of dealing with. my public journal is just my way of keeping in touch with those i have grown to love in jland. they are my sunshine.by making the effort to be upbeat and happy i find that it becomes real and outweighs the pain and darkness. when you disclose to much of yourself it puts you in the position of worrying that you are approved. who needs that? you are a regular person not a serial murderer. who cares if you have your secrets? we all do and we all should! as long as our secrets arent a threat to anyone else? lol<br>As for your pain? you better believe I am praying for you with all my might! love, juneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-60995335102666919702008-06-03T12:45:00.000-07:002008-06-03T12:45:00.000-07:00congratulations on your caring award I hope you fe...congratulations on your caring award I hope you feel better soon<br>hugs<br>Sherry<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-81883594290500998032008-06-04T13:42:00.000-07:002008-06-04T13:42:00.000-07:00You need to write in your journal which will make ...You need to write in your journal which will make you feel better.
