- Go to Mother's Guilt, Brother's Love
That sounds like a very difficult thing to go through, and you have my sincerest sympathies. However, it seems that you are blessed with a family who cares enough to offer themselves up for you, and I think that's half the battle won! I hope the best and easiest solution becomes available quickly for you!

I do feel that you should not be put under more stress by your children Ray. I suppose one might think that deep down they are afraid, but obviously this extra stress is so debilitating. Your brother has made a wonderful offer. One would have to suss out the advantages if this were possible. Do take care, and try to think of yourself as the most in need, it is to the benefit of all eventually.

I am so sorry about your poor health and family troubles and everything happening to and around you my friend. I am much older than you and had to put my oldest son out, he too got out of hand on drugs and my youngest son joined the army and left. I have never regretted the action I took even though I haven't heard from my oldest son in 15 years. If there is any way Kabu and I can help, just e-mail and we will do whatever would be helpful for you, We both love you and keep you in our prayers.God Bless you.

This is a very honest post and full of problems that I promise to pray for
you about.
The lung transplant....and a brother's love...enough to make me cry. ..or at least rush out and buy that candy that you stole from him and hand to over...LOL...only your specialists can know when and if.
I would try to walk slower without the O2 if possible for as long as possible. Learn to walk not run...please....
and the kids...kick their butts and send them off to grow up. This is about you now they have leached off you as long as it can be stood. Stealing your things is unforgiveable. Time to make it on their own or not.

AYMaybe, knowing I’m praying might give you a positive outlook of the outcome. I think of the possibility thinking by Dr. Robert Schuler of the Crystal Cathedral on the Hour of Power and like the Coca-Cola commercial in the late 60s things go better with Christ that is faith love.
