.......since I last posted.

On August 30th, my wife was admitted into the hospital in a catatonic state. She remained in a regular room until last Monday (about 30 days, during which time, I never left her) when she went into a coma and was moved to CCU. After many tests and an MRI, she was diagnosted with incephilitus (sic?) and was totally dependent on life support. At 2:30 pm, on October 5th, after conferring with 7 doctors, who gave her no chance of survial, life support was turned off (I can not imagine a harder decision to make and live with) and I layed on the bed and held her, until, at 8:40 pm, October 6, when the love of my life, for the past 35 years, passed from this world. She was layed to rest, yesterday.

I could only repeat what has been said and to add another, "God Bless You."

I believe that you have come to the right place for some healing. As we begin to think of returning life to our gardens in 2011 and celebrating what was there this year, join us.

Oh Boggy...I was so shocked to read this...I don't know what to say. I feel numb just hearing about it. I had been wondering what had happen to you. I wish I could do something to take away some of your pain.

Oh Boggy, I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you and your family as you go through this painful time. I had wondered where you were, you were always so regular on here.
