Hello Virginia and Joe,
My best wishes to your family in this difficult time. May the spirit of Christmas bring a smile and warmth to your mother.
Bring back the cheer, for you have this Christmas and the moment with your mom.

Virginia,
I'm so sorry to hear the news about your mom. Good luck with the search for the ramp. Try to enjoy the holiday, it's going to be a difficult one without your daughter but just think of the wonderful experiences she's having.

My best to you and Joe.

There are really no "magic words" that I can say to make this Christmas season better for you except that we all hope you get thru this difficult time by thinking of all the wonderful Christmas Days past that you have spent with your mom. May God help you endure the days ahead with Mom and keep your daughter safe while she is away from home, but neither will ever be away from your hearts.

Very sorry to hear your mom is not doing good and I will keep her in my prayers.
I know it is hard on you and Joe with your daughter being so far away this Christmas but you are giving your mother special love and comfort that she needs right now.

Virginia I'm so sorry to read about your mom. I'm sure you and Joe are feeling lonely without Jen but hopefully she will only miss this Christmas. Just remember that you are bringing your mother comfort and you will always look back on this time you have with her. Pat and I will be thinking of you and Joe.

Thank you all for you kind words and prayers . Still working on that wheelchair ramp , funny thing I have never even thought about where to purchase something like that , but Mom so wants to be out in the fresh air as much as possible .

Virginia,

I'm so sorry to hear that your mom is failing so fast. I'm sure this will be my mom's last Christmas too so I understand how you feel. The best we can do is to make it a good holiday and hope that our loved ones don't suffer at the end. Your post just reminds me how fleeting life is and how we should make the best of every day.

Virginia,

At a time when it seems the rest of the world is preparing to celebrate, it must surely be difficult to be separated from your loved one and yet to be there constantly for another loved one. Please remember that we are all there with you this coming Christmas and will have you and your family in our prayers.

My Mom was diagnosed last Dec with uterine cancer . This past Oct she really started to fail . We just know this will be her last Christmas , as much as Joe and I are trying to make it a good one for her it is really difficult to be cheerful . Mom can no longer walk , when Joe is home we get her out in her wheelchair but unfortunately I am too nervous to do it myself . We have no ramp and even tho we only have one step I am too nervous to get her down by myself . She so loves going out for...
