I am still here!

[Guest guest]

Hello Guys,

 

Just wanted to let you know that I am still alive. I know that I

haven't posted in a while. I have been sick, literally, since my dad

died (November 12, 2006), first bronchitis and a severe sinus

infection and just as I was getting over that I came down with what I

believe was the flu, which was Christmas Eve and it seems to be

lingering and just doesn't want to go away. I have been literally

getting very little sleep due to my coughing when I try to lay down

to sleep, if I go to sleep I am awakened by my own coughing, I

basically have kept my family up or disturbed through the night.

 

On top of the sickness, one of my sisters has had terrible issues

with the death of my dad. She packed up and moved across country with

her 8 year old daughter and got stranded on Interstate 80 during that

winter storm that came over the western states. At the time she was

in Laramie, Wyoming. He husband had to fly into Denver and take a cab

to where she was to drive the rest of the way, that cost $250 (the

cab ride), no rentals available at the time. She actually got married

to a man who lives over on the west coast just before my dad died and

she wasn't going to move until May or June of this year. However, she

couldn't handle my dad's death, especially since she and her daughter

had lived with him for the past 5 years.

 

We have had a rough time in finding my dad's " Will " and we have been

looking for it ever since the week he died. I had a terrific FRIEND

seek to help us find it and although the information that was given

was helpful in finding other things we still can't find his " Will " .

We have had to open his estate in " intestate estate " which is with no

will and because of that the State of South Carolina will absorb a

large portion of my dad's estate. We are still looking for my

dad's " Will " , but it seems our options are becoming very grim! I only

wish we could find it or the lawyer who drew it up for him or

something. My dad worked very hard for what he did have, and he gave

up a lot to gain it, (growing up we were poor) and it is such a shame

that the state can literally take a large percentage of it. Anyway,

if a lesson learned, make sure you have at least a few people who

know exactly where your " Will " is in the event that you die an

unplanned death, it sure would make it easier for your family

members, and if you don't have one, go GET it! PRAY we find the copy

of the " WILL " !!!! We have less than two months to find it and turn it

in to turn the process around and get it out of " intestate " !

 

I myself have been chosen as the personal representative of my dad's

estate, not by personal choice, but by convenience. I am the only one

of the four of us sisters who lives here on the east coast and who

does not work who has the time to do it and because the estate

is `intestate' there is a lot of work to do. Sometimes I feel like

pulling my hair out and this whole mess along with my dad's death is

probably why I have been very sick like a DOG! Plus, I must mention

that like I said before, my dad lived in South Carolina and I live in

Florida, 9 hours away from his estate. My husband is going on a

couple of business trips and my children are getting ready to go back

to school so that should be a lot of fun.

 

Speaking of dogs, today we had to take our beautiful black Labrador

Retriever to the vets to have surgery. One of her bottles, tits,

whatever you want to call it, had a very large and solid mass in it.

They literally did a mastectomy on her. They said that we could pay

an additional $78 on top of the $350 we had just paid to have the

mass biopsied, but we don't want to know because if she does have

cancer which the chances are high, we aren't doing the chemotherapy

on her. We want her to have a full quality of life, and based on past

experiences with people close to me and chemo, it isn't worth taking

that life away from her to only go anyway.

 

I have had enough sickness and death in my life in the last 12 months

to last a life time. In January 2006 my grandfather (my dad's dad)

died and then almost 10 months to the day my daddy died. My daddy's

best friend who was there through it all with him, she almost died

this year, but then she made it, and within the first two weeks of my

dad's death she had to undergo surgery, had to have a couple because

the first one failed and she was diagnosed with cancer and has a

temporary colostomy. One of my sisters developed a staff infection

after a surgery and was lucky they found it in time to put her on

meds for it; almost went into septic shock which I just found out

that my dad actually died from that and not pneumonia. Her 3 year

old daughter almost died, but she was also very lucky as well. So

like I said my family and I have had a multitude of upsets to last a

GOOD long while. You know the saying, when it rains it pours, WELL

this past year it POURED CATS and DOGS! Now My Annie (my dog), so do

I want to put my Annie through that, NO!

 

Anyway, I have been tring to do my practice, but I haven't been very

successful! It is hard to concentrate these days, at night I talk to

God, Jesus, and Shakti. I try to remember in the day time as well,

but I don't always remember. I know somewhere in all of this there is

a lesson to be learned, but I haven't figured out what it is yet. I

am still hanging in there and trying to heal and trying to learn that

lesson. I know one day by the Grace of My Almighty God and my beloved

Lord Christ I will understand.

 

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a

Happy New Year! This Year is the YEAR of JOY, HAPPINESS, LOVE, PEACE,

GREAT HEALTH, AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH FOR ME. May God be with you all

and God Bless you!

 

Love,

Katherine

Hello Katherine!,

Nice to read you once again. That's right hang in

there, " this to shall pass. " Death comes to us all. I have also experienced the

death of a good friend this past week and it is difficult at times to " see

them " not in the physical, yet it is a kindness at the same time.

 

You know what must be done to clear up your health. I would suggest as much

freshly pressed carrot juice for you as often as you can have it. As well as

steady amounts of vit C complex. With grape seed extract. Try for organic

carrots if they can be had where you are.

 

As far as your Dads will, there is still time. Other options will present so

don't give up or fall into despair. You are strong and able and this has many

lessons for you so go get em! And know we are here and wish you much love and

health and Happiness. -

Hi Katherine, Good to hear from you, happy new year.

Sorry to hear you have been going through so much, but

glad to know that you are progressing and learning and

growing. Sorrow is a great teacher. I've had that

teaching many times. It's such a powerful emotion.

 

Really wishing you and your family find peace, love

and serenity.

 

Thinking of you and sending a really big hug across

the oceans to you,

Love and peace Elektra x x x
