In fact, I hadn&#8217;t any real plans to post live again until June, but a lot is going on and this usually drives me to write. First, I have a pen name. It came to me after much thought and back/forth right before we left [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=anniegirl1138.com&amp;blog=2609877&amp;post=2437&amp;subd=anniegirl1138&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And you are coming?&#8221; &#8220;It was a couple of hours ago and she sounded awful.

		<description><![CDATA[When cancer has metastasized to sites beyond its origin, they call it &#8220;stage 4&#8243;. In my dad&#8217;s case that means that the tumor in his lungs has either grown into the heart muscle or aorta or that the size of it and the effusion it has caused warrant the dire level. In any case, he [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=anniegirl1138.com&amp;blog=2609877&amp;post=1168&amp;subd=anniegirl1138&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My younger sister called me tonight to tell me that she and mom were taking dad to the walk-in clinic. Dad has been ill since just before my husband went into hospice in the fall of 2005. He&#8217;d suffered a series of TIA&#8217;s which are small strokes caused by an ulcerated artery in his neck.
