Cranky, so sorry for your loss, and I'm definitely praying. I'll be watching for your parenting thread. At least I can post there! Currently, I am neither breastfeeding NOR bottlefeeding. So I guess I can be an expert on the subject, eh?

Thanks Mona. The info I have on my brother is third-hand, but here it is: He had been on dialysis for most of his adult life, and had medical issues. From what I understand, this week he suffered a perforated bowel and the surgery found too much dead tissue, and they couldn't do anything. They closed him up and told SIL she had 12 to 24 hours left with him. He woke from the surgery, SIL gave him the news, and then they prepared for him to die. He was able to see his four children, and briefly see my dad as well. Must have been incredibly difficult.

I guess the Lord wanted him to have that time. I wonder what he said to his kids. What would you say if you knew your words would be your last? It's just tragic.

For those interested in the explosion of support threads in parenting, this thread may interest you all... (sorry! my cheat list for how to do relative links was in the old den so I can't remember how to do it...)

I had read part of that thread earlier. People aren't always very kind to one another on here, are they? And I hope they all have kids that act just like 'em!!!! (as long as they don't go to my church or visit my office......) I like this thread. It's safe. Weird, but safe.

Mike and the Cat Mike's mother looked out the door and saw Mike reading the Bible to his cat. She thought to herself, "Isn't that sweet? I will not disturb him and will let him continue to play with the cat." Sometime later, Mom heard an awful noise and looked out the door to see Mike trying to force the cat into a bucket of water. She loudly said to Mike, "Mike, what are you trying to do with the cat?" Mike replied, "I am trying to baptize him!" His mom said, "Cats don't like to be in water." Mike replied, "Well, then he shouldn't have joined my church."
