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.
