Nina...
Just called, Gary's doctor has told her that he probably won't be coming home.
She is asking for prayers that he will not suffer.

If a few days ago he was taking a drive with Red and Nina and enjoying the sunshine, he's taken the best and happiest approach to this period that any man could ask. Be strong, Nina. It's up to the doctors now. And to Gary. You've done everything humanly possible.

Oh crap.
Nina, you got a bunch of people here who love you, if there's anything we can do. This is such a difficult time. Thoughts, prayers and best hopes for your continued strength. This where words always fail me...I'm no good at it. But take what comfort there is in the fact that you have done everything right. You've stood by him, fought for him, loved and kept life vibrant for him. Could any of us ask for better? I think he is a lucky man indeed.

Sorry to hear it. At least by the sounds of it he has enjoyed the last few weeks and made the most of it.

I saw this post and was afraid to look at it. Nina, I don't know you or Gary, but I feel like I do. I hope you are both able to find peace and comfort and enjoy your time. I don't know what else to say, but I'll say some prays for you both.

Nina hopefully when you do come back online you can find comfort in the fact that so many people care about you and Gary. Also the fact that in 11 years you and Gary had a relationshp that some people never know.

Nina,
I don't think I've ever posted in these threads before and not because I didn't feel for you and Gary. Stay strong. My Mom died of cancer November 16, 2003. She fought it for 8+ years. Three major surgeries, 2 rounds of out-patient chemo and 2 rounds of in-patient chemo. Each time they diagnosed another type of cancer (she ended up with three unrelated) she swore that was it, no more treatments. The final month or so she refused another treatment since she knew all to well it was pointless. She worked as a social worker at Loma Linda University Medical Center with cancer patients and families for 30+ years so she knew from day one what she would go through as well as what my Dad, sister and I would be facing. The day before she died she called me over to the house and I sat bedside with her for several hours. I had to lift her into the wheel chair and onto the pot she was so weak. I suggested she go back to the hospital but she declined saying she wanted to stay one more night at home, she would go in the morning. The next day she got out of bed, bathed, dressed herself, sat in the livingroom chair and called the paramedics to take her to the hospital. That was 9 am, she died at 3:30 that afternoon. As we spoke that night she wanted to tell me how sorry she was that her illness had went on for so long. Several times in the previous couple of years she'd go to the hospital and we all thought that was the end. She knew what we were going through and was glad it was over. She didn't want to die but she thought we had suffered long enough for her. So my protector from day one was still trying to protect me the day she died. Again, remember the good times as they will live on. Lean on your friends and stay strong. SteveU

I dreaded signing on today. I just didn't want to see this message. Nina, stay strong. We're all thinking about you and Gary.

I've been staring at the screen for quite a long time trying to think of the right thing to say.....unfortunately, in this kind of situation, I don't know what that is. Gary, I wish for you as peaceful a journey as possible. Your strength has been an inspiration. May you find some comfort in the next world when that time comes. Nina, please, if there is possibly anything we can do, ask.

They have fought the good fight. They have won, pulling over 20 months of good and full life from the jaws of almost certain death. Now as the end approaches, I pray for quiet time, comfort and peace for both Gary and Nina. They both richly deserve it.

A big hug for the both of you.
One of my nurses in clinic was diagnosed with lymphoma at age 18. She is now in her 60s. Whenever a patient comes in and has a complaint about what seems to be a minor thing, she says, "Congratulations that you were able to live so long to have this complaint." So, "congratulations" to the both of you that you were able to live so long, find each other, and develop a love so strong!

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. wherever Gary may go, let him have a peaceful journey. stay strong nina. If it makes you fell any better i have one last update on Aaron. He is officially done with chemo in January. I look at Gary and Aaron, and i cant help but see a little bit of each in the other. how they both fought as hard as they could, and for both good things are soon to come.

I'm so very sorry. Nina, you and Gary have been such a positive example of love and support. Since I joined the forum and found the lounge I have logged on and looked for anything new from you. I hope you both find peace. I pray for you two everyday.
I really don't know what to say to help you. I probably can't say anything to help. I will continue to pray for you both. Try and enjoy the remaining time together. All my love and prayers Erin |
