Late Saturday night on May 26th my sister who lives in Green Bay, WI had emergency surgery for a brain aneurysm; five days later -- today, Thursday May 31, her son and my nephew, had a heart attack and died this morning--about 6 hours ago. My own family right now is in the middle of making plans to travel there, where I will stay after they leave to return to St. Paul so that I can help my sister when she is discharged. She's still on a respirator. What a shocking and sad week this has been. I hope to continue to post photos while I'm there in order to stay focused on the present, but I doubt that I'll make many comments on your blogs. Keep us in your thoughts.
WOW Kate! How tragic for your family.....

ReplyDeleteKate! I am terribly sorry!! I am saying prayers for your family and for you as you help nurse your sister back to health... she will wonder why bother, perhaps. So I hope our prayers will offer her and all of you some comfort.
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your family's misfortunes. I wish you and the family my best. Take care.
Oh Kate...I wish that I could reach out and hug you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Travel safe.
ReplyDeleteYour help will be appreciated there. I begin to understand where you are coming from: my relative was hospitalised this week after problems.
ReplyDeletedear kate, I just found out about this tragedy in your family. my thoughts and prayers are with you. be strong, okay ...
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you during this very difficult time. When my father passed away in April I found that my photo post had more symbolism than they normally do. They served as an outlet for my emotions which I don't express well in words.
ReplyDeleteI am apalled by such terrible news Kate. That's the exact word for it, a tragedy. I had thought to pay you a visit after some so much time and look what I've found, this makes me really sad. I wish I were there to help, I think that would be the best thing to offer better than just say sorry. If there's anything we can do for you please say so.
ReplyDeleteyou and your loved ones are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteyou and your loved ones are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't check the forum last days and I was asking to myself where Kate and her magnificent photos and comments were.
ReplyDeleteYou *are* in my thoughts daily and much more (if possible) now that I realized what happened.
