Dear beloved cuzzies, So many friends I have here! Today is a different note. Thirteen months ago this silly Ole Buckley turned up w/ leukemia....both of his brothers died of it. It was not happy.....he had chemo which practically killed him....came close to dying twice. But, pulled himself together right after 10 days in the hospital during Christmas.....told to Doc to keep his chemo, and really had a nice quality of life for about 6 months. Got up every day, dressed, drove, and cooked which he loved to do....and wise cracked.....as usual. The last three weeks have been a little tough as he was going down hill again, and he was facing more hospital time and some tough stuff. But, God bless him and God bless God.....he left this morning during a nap, as quiet and peaceful as could be, in his own bed at home w/ no nurses or Hospice hovering over him....and Da Kid had been over the night before for a visit. He would have been 83 in a couple of weeks. It was a fun ride.....we both hated and loved each other as in all marriages. We didn't marry until he was 46, and he always remained an independent, do it himself bachelor type.....and he was funny! Da Kidand I are fine.....lots to do.....and I'm dead tired for starters. But, you who have been thru it know how that goes. Take great good care.....and I'll probably be gone for a few days.....and then who knows.....I may not. ( : Susan aka Buckette to the Lovelesses Oh, and one footnote....today is my Momma's <both Overstreet and Lovelace> birthday. How 'bout that one! o :

Dear Susan; So sorry for your loss. They say time heals and I know from the spirit you show that you will be OK. Our prayers are with you. My husband is 82 and I am thankful to still have him but know he is failing. Many of his friends already gone.
