The donations will be forwarded to Vikas, who will then make sure Mike and his family get the special gift from the DebtCC family.

Please include a note on this thread regarding any thoughts you would like to express to Mike and his family, as this also will be provided to Mike and his family.

Mike is a huge part of this community family and means a lot to everyone here. We would like to show this to him.

With a family this big, when one hurts, we all hurt. Mike, this family loves you also.

We would like to thank everyone in advance for your donations, thoughts and prayers.

Good morning Cannr.

I donated all my points that I had for Mike & family.

This is a difficult time and all in the forum are all so supportive and have helped everyway they can.
And you know cannr that my son and I personally went through this when I lost my Mother to face cancer last year. Only time heals all and with good friends and family for support.

Mike and family,
I pray the Lord will continue to support and provide you comfort each day. He is in control right now and know's what best. Spend each moment with you Dad and tell him how much you love him. This is very important. You and your family are in our prayers
daily. May God angels embrace you all.
God bless you all.

I donated some points as well to Puddle. Hope I'm not too late. All I can say is, Mike, I have a unique understanding into what you are going through, as I lost my dad to leukemia three years ago. It sucks right now and unfortunately it's going to suck some more for you before it's over--but it DOES get better. What you need to do is remember the good memories you have with your dad and celebrate the good times. And know that you have this large, screwy cyberfamily who's always there for you. Hang in there,my friend.

white, look for one of puddlejmpr's posts on this thread. Underneath the 'total debtcc points', you will see the word 'donate'. Click on that. Then a screen will come up showing how many points you have/how many points she has and a box in the middle. Type in the number of points you want to donate and then just hit the 'donate' button. It should take your points off and put them on to puddlejmprs. If you need help, just let me know! :D

I finally got some time today and log on here for a little while and touch base with all of you. I have been missing you guys badly. I heard from my colleagues and friends about this special thread. I was trying to find out some time for myself and then see this thread. Work, hospital and looking after everyone. I can't even think how time is passing by so quickly. I am sorry that I do not speak to all of you but I feel sad and empty at times as I feel a lot of pressure sometimes looking after everyone.

My dad????????s treatment is quite intensive now. He is been in the hospital since 28th Jan. yesterday only, doctors felt that he should be released and taken home, so that it will create some change when he is back to home. He will be back to hospital again on the 25th for the next phase of treatment. This will continue for some time. It is a long process. There are good days and difficult days with momentary ups and downs. The consultant is pleased with how things are moving ahead and the treatment. I am allowed to stay in the hospital for the most of the time. All the nurses know me and I sleep next to my dad on the chair next to him. The staff has been kind enough towards my family and they give us breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I sometimes sit back and ask why it happened to my dad? He himself is a doctor and has treated people for more than 45 years. He never did anything wrong to anyone. He has always thought for everyone????????s good. Why is he going through all this? The hospital has been the center of our life. There are times when I feel sad and frustrated but I remain strong for everyone. Today I smoked eleven cigarettes in a row with few drinks. My dad holds my hand and repeatedly says not to smoke. Because it????????s cigarettes only that has brought him to this stage. I know I am hurting him when I am not keeping his wish, but I just can????????t think anything to be turning out normal. I guess I need to so I can release some of my pain when I am alone. I have seen my dad going through so much since 28th January 2008. I wake up in the morning and think why this is happening but there is no answer. I know that I must hold everything together as my family relies on me entirely.

I think about you all but I don????????t come here because I feel sad and empty from inside and don????????t feel like talking to anyone. Thanks for your prayers. If my dad is making progress, it????????s because of the prayers from my near and dear ones who have been thinking about our family. Dad always did good to everyone, but still he has to suffer and take the pain. Now, if he is improving a little, its all because of the prayers everyone is doing. I am sorry for not answering to the PMs and emails sent to me by you guys. Please know I love you all like you do.

Mike it is so good to hear from you. I have been praying for you and your family, and have asked others to. I know exactly how you are feeling-went through that with my dad for a year, and now, as you know, am in and out of hospitals with mom. It is extremely stressful and difficult. You need to do whatever it is to take some stress off of yourself and try to eat and get rest when you can--I think this is the same advice that you gave me not long ago!

Please know that you can alsways PM me and talk, get mad, whatever you need to do--it is a really big help, sometimes, just to vent and stay in touch with someone , at least it was for me.

You have been there for me, I am here for you!! Take Care, Mike..KAren :hug:

Mike, my heart is breaking for you, my angel friend. Just to hear that you are feeling so sad and empty and alone tears me apart. I'm so glad you stopped by just to say a few words and let us know the progress of your dad. I am praying for you, your dad, and your family every single day. You know that we are all here for you - forever. If you need anything at all, you know we are here for you. Be strong, angel. My thoughts are with you. :rose:

Mike ~ Right now I am not on as much as I would like to be, but am glad I got on here today and read what your message. Know that we are always here for you. You are going through a rough time right now, and we do understand about not wanting to talk, but do let me pass on from experience, holding everything inside is not good either. If you feel the need to cry, then cry. If you feel the need to get angry, then get angry. If you need to release some of the pent up feelings, do so. Sometimes keeping a journal helps, writing the good as well as the bad. Talking to people can help, but do what is best for you. Know that you are missed and thought of, as is all your family. Our prayers will continue to go out to you and yours. You have got a lot on you right now, don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Sometimes we try to carry the burden ourselves when we need help with the load and it makes it very difficult for us. Yes, speaking from experience here. Let someone help you. Your friends here understand why you have not been on here, but know we are here whenever you need to talk, vent or even need a laugh now and then.

Take care,
Karen

Mike, My heart goes out to you. I know you are having a difficult time and things are not easy for you. Please know that I am ( and we are) here for you whenever you are ready. It broke my heart to hear of your sadness and I certainly understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and not wanting to talk. Whatever you need, whenever you need, you know where we are. You all are continually in my prayers and thoughts.

Mike, you and your father are constantly in my thought and prayers. I truly believe that all the prayers from everyone are heard and will be answered. Please listen to your father and give up the smoking. I know this is not the easiest time but if he sees that you stopped it will make his spirits better and see something positive come from all this. I smoked 2 1/2 packs a day for over thirty years. It took a week in the hospital for me to stop. You don't want to stop that way.

Mike, You are truely missed here, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you always. When you feel alone and looking out into the dark night, just remember that you are not alone because at that moment someone is thinking of you. I know this time is hard on you, you have not gone through something like this before. But it will make you a stronger person. It was very hard on me seeing my mother go through all the suffering she did before the good lord took her home. I was sad, angry, and confused at the time, but I knew that she knew that I loved her very much. She was a kind, caring, loving person, who went without so someone in need could have something they needed. The good lord saw this and knew he needed someone like that with him. So just let your father know you love him and know that he loves you very much. The actions you see now, are due to the medications and the treatments he is going through. Mike, my heart goes out to you and your family :rose: And know that if you EVER need ANYTHING do not be scared to ask. We are all here for you!!!

Ok guys, yesterday I had the privilege of meeting Mike's ailing Dad along with a few other friends.

We took 4 things with us,

# A printout of this wonderful thread.
# A bouquet of flowers.
# Lots and lots of love.
# A check equivalent to the community donations for Mike.

It was a very touching experience indeed. We gathered in a room and after a while Mike helped his Dad from another room. The proud father said surprisingly, "What is this? All of you are here for me?" He started crying after saying this. We presented to him the flowers and the printout of this thread of which he read each and every line. Mike's mother and sister were equally proud of his achievements.

I had tears in my eyes too. It indeed was a very touching afternoon for me. I had all you guys in my mind the entire time I was there.

You guys simple rock!

THANK YOU ALL!! :hug:

Thanks Lakemen for helping us in reaching his Dad. People explained Mike's dad what a forum is, how it operates and what it does. More importantly, role of Mike in helping people. He was feeling proud of Mike and wanted to see Mike helping more people. Mike could feel all of us there.

Thank you for making this community a great great place to live in.

Thank you so much Lakemen--this is what the Community should be about--helping and supporting each other-not back biting.

It touched my heart to read that Mike and his dad were so moved by this community. What a wonderful gift to receive, and I am not talking about the money.

This just re affirms why I stay here and what my purpose is--thanks to you and the others for making this possible.

Mike, you and your family are still in my prayers..KAren
