Thank you for the link.   I listened to only a few minutes of because I'm at work and it brought tears to my eyes....I really don't need to break down here ---  again.  LOL  So I will listen to the rest when I get home this afternoon.   Beautiful voice and beautiful song!  Yes I love music!!  Runs in my family----My Grandmother, Mother, Sister and Myself all sing and play the piano and organ.   I tried to get my girls to take piano lessons but they were into so many other extra activities and hated practicing, so they gave up----now they regret it.   Anyway, thanks for thinking of me.  Have a lovely and blessed day!

Dear Jan:

Our stories do sound similiar - My husband Ken was Jewish and we had the challenge of merging two families, and two religions. I was so blessed he was Jewish as in so many ways. I sometimes wonder, if I was to get very sick and needed prayers said over me, would I want a Minister or would I really prefer our Rabbi.......BTW even though Ken was in a coma for a few days, I believe they can hear what is going around them, so after the Rabbi said the traditional prayers, I had Rabbi Singer perform a marriage vow renewal. Ken couldn't answer, but if he could hear me I wanted him to know just how much I loved him.

I often use the saying people plan and G-d laughs.

Sending healing to you -

Blessings,

Jan,  Hello!  It's nice to meet you too.  I am sorry for the loss of your wife and cancer fight you both took on.....I understand all to well.  My husband's cancer was very unique and complicated, with a lot of pain.  I don't talk about it as often or as freely as I did in the first couple years.  I understand how you feel about having the cards all lined up and then scattered.  This is a tough and lonely journey.  I have been a part of this site for a while, but have never posted or chatted.  This is new for me.  I look forward to meeting a few people on this site and perhaps.....not feeling so alone.  

Same here, feel free to contact me, if you want to chat.  Thanks, Tina

Sorry for your lost.  Welcome to this website. I find it very helpful even just by ranting out about anything that saddens you.
