I am going to give you a quick run down of what's going on. Explaining why I haven't been on your sites like I normally do and so on.
Well my father-in-law made it home from the hospital, where we almost lost him. The doctors have decided to stop his treatments for the cancer he has (Mantel Cell Lymphoma stage B) They are 999% sure that the treatments were causing his body to shut down so fast.
For those of you who didn't know my father-in-laws cancer is not curable and treatments would only help him to live a little longer. Without treatments they gave him 6 months tops and that was a couple of months ago now. :(
He is taking it better than the kids or so it seems. He knows he has come home to die and did not want to do so in the hospital. His only other request is not to be in pain and do not revive him at all if something like a heart attack happens. So we are looking at 2 weeks, 2 months or who knows.
I will only post on this again if things get really bad or he passes, because I know it is depressing to read and it is depressing for me to write about it.
So our lives have been crazy!! There is so much that all the siblings are working on with things that need to be done before and when dad passes, he has property and so on.
My husband has been working a lot of overtime and I have been trying to take care of everything on the home front that I can, projects, etc. our own personal stuff. I have even had to start writing things down, because my brain is on overload and I keep having brain farts!!! lol We know when dad passes there will be no time and all hell will break loose and be crazy busy for a bit.
Anyway that explains a little why I haven't been on your sites like I like to, I have been very swamped. I also did not finish my blogroll yet. There are more of your sites I follow regularly, but I didn't finishing adding them and will here soon. A friend and I are also working on getting a widget for my blogroll that is really awesome, you'll see.
Thank you all for understanding and I will try to get things caught up here in the blogging world as much as possible.
P.S. Don't misunderstand, I will keep blogging, networking and coming to your sites leaving comments. I just mean I won't be able to do 20 comments a day or 2-3 posts everyday. Some days when my father-in-law has a bad day there might be a little gap. :)

Perfectly understandable, thanks for keeping us updated. My heart goes out to you and the family. Hang in there, eventually things will be 'back to normal', if there is such a thing.
Be strong darlin, my prayers for your father in law.
You have to do what you have to do, and right now trying to maintain some sort of schedule blogging just isn't it. Best of luck. I sincerely hope that he gets at least one wish and that is *not* to be in pain!
@ Lakelandmom, you are welcome for the update and thank you. I know things will get back to as close to normal as possible one day.
@ Trukindog, Thank you and he needs all the prayers he can get.
@ Don, Hiya Don haven't seen you for a bit!! :)
You are so right maintaining a blog on a schedule, I realized is not always easy let alone with all this going on. :) I will do the best I can and take the rest as it comes.
No pain that too is my wish for my father-in-law as well.
You certainly have more than your fill going on. The update is appreciated. We will be keeping you all in our thoughts. I sincerely hope your father-in-law maintains some comfort in these days.
Yes, our prayers for your father-in-law and for all of you, of course. I totally understand his wish to be kept comfortable and not to be revived and I hope he can slip away peacefully.
Take care Laurie.
Hey, forget about blogging. There are some things more important in life. We'll be here when you get back. Hang in there, k?
@ Chuck, you are very welcome for the update and thank you.
@ Tabby, thanks a bunch for your prayers!
@ Spiff, thanks so much, I will do what I can here and there, when I can and as often. I know there will a time sooner than later where posting every day or going on everyones sites regularly will not happen as often.
