    Like I told you a week or so ago I'm very sorry to hear about all your troubles and your son Bill. I know as you said through Gods help you are making it through this, but still you have been through a lot and like HRK stated hopefully things will be uphill after all this.

    Damn...So sorry to hear the bad news...You have my prayers...

    Went through the rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder last January...Not fun...Do yourself a big favor and get it fixed before it tears any further...It can be hell...I know as I have had both of them repaired...

    Horrible news, keep your chin up, it's got to get better because it would be hard to be worse. Thoughts are with you.

    So sorry Cowboy. As a parent who also lost a son about a year ago I get comfort from all the wonderful moments I was gifted to spend with him. God bless you.

    I just couldn't fathom being in your shoes cowboy. I've had my share of hardships and disapointment but nothing to that extent. Don't now how you and the missus do it. I'm changed forever as a consequence of my experiences. Glad you have God on your side,thru Him all things are possible, including some how moving onwards.

    Twins! God is good! My youngest son and his wife had twins, boy n girl almost 3 years ago. They are such a blessing (and a handful for the parents) I'm sure yours will be too. The old cliche: when one door closes another door opens.

    Twin boys! Great news. To paraphrase Fatboy; they will be a double blessing and a double handful LOL.
