Im a big fan of the blogs at thismodernworld.com and bobharris.com and thought I would try my hand at it. Warning! Probably will contain foul language and ranting but I am glad for comments on it if you read it. Im gay and probably just a touch left leaning so be prepared.

Thank you everyone for commenting on my blog, its really nice to get on and hear from you after getting Dales stuff. I came home after that and went to sleep till 9 tonight as soon as I got home, didn't really mean to take that long of a nap but guess I needed it. Hopefully I will be able to go back to sleep in a little bit. I've talked to mom and she really would like to comment back to all of your responses but just doesn't have the energy right now.

Within Without, thanks for your kind words and I know you have been there on the phone and email with my mom through all of this, she talks about you quite a bit and how much of a help you have been through all of these realy rough times and I really want to thank you for that.

Thank you Mary for your comment, I have watched you post on my moms journal and looked yours over from time to time at work *though I cant comment on blogs at work for some reason its blocked* and have enjoyed everything Ive heard. Thank you for your support of our family and I appreciate your words.

Cuppa, Thank you for commenting and your words do mean a lot. I wish I had got more of a chance to build that relationship but really am glad for the chance I got to get to know him, I still want to cry thinking about the time the nurse started asking if my mom would be in to visit her husband any time soon and asked if they were devorsed. It took me a moment to understand what she was asking and was about to corrected her when Dale beat me to the punch and said "He's my nephew but If he were my son I would definatly be proud to call him that." I will always have that to remember.

Courtney, I may, I always have wanted to be a writer and may do that but right now I just am too exhaused to think too hard about it. I appreciate your reply and thank you for keeping us in your thoughts.

Helen, I love your blog name by the way. I hope if I ever had to go through something like that I could keep the same attitude and as positive. He really did his best to keep us going even though he was the one who was ill. I am not really any religon but I strongly believe we go somewhere good when we pass away and I know Dale is there now and never will be truly gone.

Laurahinnj, Thank you for your comment, I am relay greatfull for the time I had with him as well even if it was illness that brought us together. I will do my best to be there for my mom, I really wish I could have been there to hug her when she found out, and for her to hug me as well. I am planning on heading up to montana as soon as I find out when the wake or whatever its called will be and will give her lots of hugs then.

Cathy, I will always remember him like you say and remember him for his strength, In a touch situation I could dig that deep and fight like he did. I am realy glad that she had shared this with everyone, she really does a good job and I know a lot of people used it who knew him before to keep up on things. Thank you for the long distance hug.

Sometimes Saintly Nick, Thank you nick for commenting and for your words. I know as well my mom has talked with you several times.

I think I'm going to try and go to sleep now, I feel like I can and hopefully I am right, work tomorrow is going to be hard enough with out lack of sleep. Thank you again from me and my mom everyone.

Dale

I don’t post very often to my blog due to a lot of things, and I don’t know how many people read it. But I know it’s linked off of my mom’s blog and hopefully some of you who read her blog look here, I will also leave a post on her blog after I write this. Last night at 2 am Dale passed away. We don’t have the details or much information yet, my mom found out this morning about an hour and a half ago and let me know. We really appreciate all the support and prayers and everything you all have done for our family, I know every time I have read over the comments on my mom’s blog it has made me want to cry because of all the support and kind words. I really want to thank everyone on there for being with our family through this and most of all for Dale. One of the last things he said to me was talking about he was ready to be famous now because so many people new about him from the blog and he was planning on making his own and wanted to write a book about everything he had been through and more and said he was going to put the thank you’s for the cards into the beginning of the book. I know we all would really like to have been able to read that book.

My mom right now is going through a lot; she just lost her best friend in the universe, someone she had spent nearly every day for the past 4 months with. I am not sure when she will be able to get herself to post again but I hope it is soon because I know how much you all mean to her. She has been so strong through this and done so much for Dale I cant even begin to write out how wonderful she has been for him and for the rest of the family, she really has been the glue holding us all together and been there for everyone and kept everyone who has known Dale up to date on how he is doing. I am always in awe of her strength. Please keep us in your thoughts in prayers the next while and I will do my best to keep the updates going while my mom is not able too. Again I want to thank you all for Dale and from my mom and me as well, I can’t really say how much this has meant to me. I will possibly post again when I get back; I am going to the hospital in a little bit to collect Dale’s possessions.
