Comment from scongrove
Fantastic writing, my friend! Thank you for continuing to share your story with us. The thing about Todd feeling 'off,' I think that is just how a lot of artists go through. We are our worst critic. Just give him the confidence he needs to hear. He is a fantastic artist!
I can understand why you are having difficulties with your parents moving into a retirement place. They are doing what is best for them. I'm sure they see things you and your sisters don't. At least they are making that decision and you all don't have to force the issue when the time comes, and it will be sooner than you expect. Just have faith and support their decision.
I'm so glad to hear you are in a place of peace. That is God healing your heart and saying to you ... you are stronger than you realize and you will get through tough times. I see your strength growing.
Always your fan,
Shana :)

Comment from Ulla
Hi Rebecca, I can see that you're struggling with everything that is happening, and that's natural. Now your dad has made a choice that he may not want treatment. I can understand why they want to go into a protective home together. You're mother may find it easier to cope with, once she's on her own. Ulla xx

Yes I agree. I am walking this road full of pot holes in the dark, trying to know how to feel, what to feel, what's the right thing to feels say or do. Thank you for your wise words. They truly help. Hugs my friend.

"Learning to Trust"
Pissed off about When it comes to Hope and Faith in these situations?
Modern technology, when it comes to the treatment of cancer?
...
I helped the woman that had breast cancer.
She was taking on killing herself.
She had s simple lumpectomy and after three months with no chemo and just radiation?
She was fine.
And, if that helps you in your decision?
Great.
...
This was well written and rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.
..
Complete Synopsis:
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned Perfectly.
...
Thanks and good luck with this.

I'm a little confused on what you meant at the beginning of your review? I'm not pissed off at new hope or new chances...IF I'm understanding you correctly. I don't like traditional treatment and prefer alternative, but dealing with the reality that I have no say. It's up to my Dad. I support him either way.
Thank you for the five star review. I appreciate that so much. thanks for taking time to stop and read. Hope to see you again.

I just corrected the beginning.
Your piece came across in s negative manner.
I thought he had passed as I was reading this.
Kenneth Richmond was my wife's dad.
He had Hodgkin's back in 1976.
It just come out with a brand new experimental treatment
His Roommate went on it and survived.
Mildred his wife decided no not to have him be on it.
...
Kenneth built the house.
Kennethsl was an amazing Man. Kenneth was never sick a day of his life until This ..
..
My wife Carolyn said when she went to visit him he did not even know it did he was bleeding out rectory.
interior she left that room and that will be the last time she would ever see him alive.
...
When I had heard this story height lost any future respect for Mildred
That's what I was basically thinking of when I posted the part about being pissed off.
I was on a bus when I was reviewing this and it was almost time to get off so I didn't get a chance to correct it or add to it.

I loved the way you wrote about faith in this chapter and the title really drew me in. It was my mother who refused extreme treatment. She died peacefully with help from in-home hospice

This is another very well written chapter you have penned. I love how it feels the Lord is leading in the decisions for your father and mother. You used very good descriptive words and very good dialogue. Thanks for sharing my friend! Teri

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I agree with you, Rebecca, quality of life is so important. Don't they have retirement homes for couples? Or were you thinking of 'afterwards'? That will be hard, I know it was for my mum. You have been so strong, you have to continue that for you and for your parents. You have God, He'll help you though this. Sending you a big hug, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you for the encouragement. Had a really rough day yesterday, better today. Never walked this road before. UGH. They are looking to movie into a retirement place together, as soon as there's an opening. Either way, Mom will for sure be there, Dad...well we have to wait and see. Do you think I need to make that more clear in this chapter?
Thank you for taking time to read and review. I love seeing your smiling face in my inbox. :) Have a blessed day. Hugs.

I think it was this that made me think of your mom on her own....
I can?t imagine Mom doing well without him.... but I think I got the meaning of that wrong.
Another thing that I really understood was when you mentioned ... where would you stay .... My parents moved into one of those places, and it was like a nice self-contained flat. When I came over to stay, there was a room I could rent cheaply in the building for visitors who came from a long way away. Perhaps the one your parents choose will have something similar. xxx

Thank you for telling me. I'll try to make that more clear! Appreciate you.
