Chloe,
Thanks very much!

So sorry to read this! I´m sending you my best wishes for his recovery.

Today I helped my husband to a nursing home for rehab. We’re hoping this will help him. The home is just ten minutes from our home so that’s good. I can be there often.
I also got a little FLIP MINO HD video camera. It is tiny and easy to carry. It’s smaller than a pack of cigarettes- thinner and more narrow. I can get video movies with it and can send them to our kids…it’s a little gem!
Thanks to you all for your concern and comforting comments.

Bernie, many thanks! We are hopeful– and eventually I’ll get my BLOG up and running again. It’s been so nice to meet good folks on the blog too…like you
February 10, 2009 at 11:23 am
I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you both. I hope his stay in rehab is short and he can return home very soon.
February 11, 2009 at 1:03 am
Thanks very much, Laurie. It’s looking like he’ll be there a month and then not sure of the future. But we take it a day at a time….
February 12, 2009 at 3:17 pm
I will continue to keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
February 14, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Happy Valentine.

so very sorry to hear of more health problems. i wrote earlier that i hoped that everything would continue to improve. i certainly still do! these things can be so difficult, i am a health care worker, and personally have been though many things with family and do understand very well. the waiting to see what to do next can be one of the most difficult. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. God Bless
February 20, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Thank you very much, Florida Sunshine!
We’re taking this a day at a time here so it’s hard to focus on anything else like my blog. I miss it though………will be back ASAP!
February 20, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Dear Gaye,
I pray that the Lord will carry you and your husband during this difficult time and that His will be done in your lives. He is your strength and comfort.
Thanks for sharing with us through your blog, both in words and photos.
Karen

gaye, just do what you need to do for your family and yourself. we will be here waiting for more of your insightful photography and messages, later. i have a quote that i would like to share with you- “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. they must be felt with the heart”. – Helen Keller- she was another very insightful person, although she never had the ability to be able to visually see or hear. to do what you are able to do with your photography or to try to comfort through the touch of a helping hand. God showed her the way. as he wants to be there for us, he is always. isn`t it ironic though sometimes we are just too blind to see, or too deaf to hear him right here with us.
February 20, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Still thinking of you and your husband. Writing about sensitive matters in a foreign language is difficult. But I can send my thoughts and hopes.
February 21, 2009 at 1:10 am
Oh my goodness! You are all so thoughtful. Thanks to you, Carsten and Karen for the recent posts. I am a bit overwhelmed by your kindness..Please know I appreciate every word and thought that you send to us.
March 27, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Thinking of you and hoping you are doing ok. Miss you!
Laurie
March 27, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Thanks so much, Laurie. Stan is home and we have gone from 24 hour a day help to 8 hours a day. I’m doing the other 16 hour shift. One of these days I will be back blogging…and not too far away. I did find an Osprey and a Sandhill Crane in my backyard today. I got pictures and hope to post them here later. Thanks again!
March 28, 2009 at 1:28 am
Gaye, i have checked a few times to see how things are going with you and your husband`s health. very happy to hear that things are improving and i do hope that you will also find the time to take care of yourself. i do understand first hand how these matters are. if you would ever need/ or want, feel free to email me. cannot wait to see the “new pic.s” and hope to hear that you are back again soon. God Bless Both of You.
March 28, 2009 at 9:38 am

Your following still desires to hear from you. Life can be so difficult at times. Your blogging friends care and miss you.
June 3, 2009 at 9:24 pm
We’re doing better here. I still hope to be back to you great blogging friends soon. I have missed you all. We have a helper for my husband eight hours a day so our days are full…but at least we’re still alive and getting better.
Thanks to you all!
Gaye
June 4, 2009 at 2:46 pm
You have been missed, and hopefully received a lot of wishes.
It is very good to know that your husbands situation is improving.
It is SO good to read this message from you. -It is worrying not hearing news.
June 4, 2009 at 2:47 pm
I’m sorry, I forgot:
Good luck to both of you.
June 4, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Thank you, Carsten. Your message is very appreciated and comforting.
We did get a new puppy through out the health issues. That makes three Shih Tzu dogs for us.
He, Lemley, is now eight months old so he’s learned a lot and so have we.
I will get a picture of the three of them on my blog very soon. That will get me started again.
Thanks again to you, Carsten!
June 4, 2009 at 5:50 pm
I’ll look for a post with a picture of your dogs!
Welcome back
June 4, 2009 at 5:53 pm
That’s good incentive to get them all bathed and trimmed….and thanks for the ‘welcome back’!
June 4, 2009 at 7:59 pm
I’ll be looking for those doggie photos, too! Hope all is as well as it can be.
June 4, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Scott,
You are so nice to write. Thanks very much!
June 10, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Hi Gaye…It has been a while since I dropped you a note and I just wanted to let you know that I continue to be thinking of you and Stan.
That is fun news about the new puppy.
Laurie

Welcome back
June 18, 2009 at 11:19 pm
A new puppy must have brought joy to your home. I, too, am eagerly anticipating a photo of your “baby.” I am glad to hear of your husband’s improvement and the help that you’re getting at home. Hang in there; I’m praying for you.
June 18, 2009 at 11:40 pm
Thanks to you all. I’m trying to post a picture of our three Shih Tzu dogs and can’t figure out how to do it…..so I’ll be back when I get my blog figured out again. It seems to have changed since I was here last.
You all have given me much encouragement. I appreciate everything. Now I hope to get back into the swing of things here. I’ve missed you all.
July 4, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Gaye, if you want to post a photo in a very easy way, it is now possible to send a photo in an email, – to your blog! The only thing you need to find is your wordpress-email adresse, which you can see in Dashboard/my blogs.
I wrote a post about this, including a link to some infomations about this.

Dear Gaye,
I hope you are tired of blogging and have found other ways to use your time and creativity.
-Although I have a bad feeling that this is not the case…
My thoughts frequently travels to Florida, but they do not bring anything back. May they touch your chin now and then…
August 27, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Thanks to you all and to Carsten, We’ve had tough months.
Our son died ten days ago. He was 51 and had cancer. We are doing okay here for now. We have help for my husband eight hours a day. So there’s not much time for blogging even though I really want to get going again. It was such fun to get to know you all….and to enjoy your pictures..I definitely will return in the near future because I do enjoy the blogging and the process. You all make me feel very good and I thank you!
August 28, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Oh, I am so sorry for you.
Receive my condolences.
I can not find any right words for the terrible situation it is to loose a child. 51 or 5.
I really hope your husband will get better soon, and that you will be back here. It might even contribute to healing the loss a tiny bit.
Carsten
September 13, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Oh, Gaye….what can I say? I’m so sorry for your trials and for the loss of your son. From one Mother to another, please accept my condolences. I will send some prayers for healing and peace your way.

Thanks to you, Carsten and KD.
We are putting pieces back together here and slowly we are enlightened….friends of Guy’s are contacting us every day and this is so comforting. And we’re learning more and more about him in his own world….a real joy in all the sadness.
My plan is to get back to blogging soon. In fact my interest in photography is coming back and the birds out back certainly help ..They seem to be teasing me into thinking about them and how they’d look in print
Thank you very much!
October 1, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Dear Gaye.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss, please accept my condolences to you and your family.
October 22, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Hi Gaye,
Haven’t seen anything of yours for a long time, so I thought to check in with you!
I’m so sorry about your son – and that your hubbie needs constant care. But I hope at least you are well and find at least a little bit of time to do what you love doing.
Cheers, Klaus
