Missing you TerryW

[pkdoll]

I am really missing TerryW. Wish he would pop in to say hello and share some of his wisdom and extremely talented words with us. His apes are going crazy with lonesomeness too. His garlic is starting to dry up as well. I went out there today and cut his grass, trimmed his bushes and did some watering. Started weeding the garden too-but the garlic needs tending to and so do the apes! Terry where are you?? Miss you!!! :(

[eye]

Have wrote to him and am waiting to hear from him. So far nothing. Will have to write again to see if he will write.We sure do miss him. We looked up to him.:)

[makeyesup]

Yes, last time I heard from him was early July and I responded around the middle of July. Sure hope he's OK.

[*eng*]

I hope he's ok. He hasn't been on here since the 3rd June.

[eye]

Just recieved mail from Terry.He is enjoying the boys when they come to visit.I will try to see if he will come back on here.We sure miss him.

[*eng*]

Oh that's great news eye, I am so glad he's ok, was worried.

[mswizard]

Thanks for letting u s know about him eye, He sure is missed and I hope all is well with him, when you next hear from him, send our love and best wishes if you would.

[pkdoll]

I received mail in early July too-but nothing since, so I wanted to start a thread to let him know he is missed. I hope that he comes back soon. Went out and finished weeding his garden this weekend. Wolvsie thanks for feeding the apes. Terry hope to see you soon.

[makeyesup]

Thanks eye for letting us know. Keep sending my email to myself so it doesn't get forgotten. Figured that I would send another email to him soon.

Hello everyone: Thanks Pk for starting this because like every one else I miss Terry and worry about him. Thanks also Eye for contacting him. He has such a talant for writing and I always looked forward to reading what he wrote and also when he talked about his life and his family. I pray that he is feeling better soon and well enough to write to a few old ladies like myself on here. lol We love and miss you Mr.T and hope these comments at least make you smile..........xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo..........Smile (Lois)

I posted this in SCRAPSVILLE but thought I better put it here as well - for those that understand it????
I find that I can no longer resist the swell of comments that have so kindly been forwarded to me from ‘Eye’ by means of an e-mail that I received this evening. I have come onto SBM to find a thread has been started and contributed to by those who appear to miss my rambling although for the life of me I can find little foundation and even less value as to why it would be so. My contributions lasted only a few months and as for my ability in the area of horticulture I must admit that I lacked even the basic abilities that such a field of endeavour requires, if in fact the purpose of such an endeavour is related in any manner to success in the world of commerce although, I can admit that I was saved the embarrassment of certain commercial failure by the good nature and polite sufferance of the folk who reside in Scrapsville, a small and friendly town the like of which I have never experienced before.

I believe it could in fact be said that I would have been classed a total failure if it were not for my good fortune in the interest of raising and retraining apes; the direct result of having stumbled, quite by accident, upon an old book that I discovered in the washhouse of the farm on which I chose to reside during my time in Scrapsville; an interest that I must add, became quite a passion in time and one that even today brings me some semblance of pleasure albeit, to a far less extend than it did during that precious time on the farm.

I find much to my displeasure, quite a distinct lack of apes that are able to undergo the rigours of retraining in order to successfully graduate as ‘Seeing-Eye’ apes and as a result, I have curtailed my efforts considerably in that field preferring, for the time being at least to undergo some retraining of my own. In specific terms, I have become interested in the field of sleepwalking and, I might add, more than a sedentary interest at that. It has become clear to me in no uncertain terms that there exists today, in far greater magnitude than one would expect or even consider, quite a distinct waning towards sleepwalking that, it appears from the information I have been able to review for the purpose of becoming knowledgeable on the subject, a result of social discouragement towards the past-time overall.

It has not escaped my attention that Scrapsville would be an ideal setting for the further study of my new interest and that within the township itself I am proposing that I could locate several specimens that may, in the early stages of my research at least, be suitable for the purposes required. It remains to be seen however; whether any of the subjects in question would prevail themselves of the liberties that would be necessary for such research to be, at the very least conducted and, furthermore relevant to the overall outcome of my studies.

I am, for now at least, unsure quite what I shall do in the long term preferring for the time being to remain uncommitted and therefore, relieve myself of any feelings of guilt in the event that I am unable to proceed in any viable manner in the future. It would be best I believe, to make the people of Scrapsville well aware of my uncertainty in an effort to assuage any grief that could otherwise be felt if I were to make a promise that I was unable to maintain with any sense of regularity or, that may appear to have been given with a lack of any real sincerity.

Well, I hope that keeps everyone happy for a while!!!

On a serious note – I am doing OK but suffering very high levels of fatigue. I find that I don’t need to do very much and I am worn out. I cleaned my bedroom yesterday, basically dusted the furniture, tidied up and vacuumed and that was it for me – I then went and slept from 6:30 pm through to 10:00am this morning and have had a fairly lazy day to boot. The pain levels are fairly high but I am getting relief each day by maxing out on morphine – I’m up to 225mls a day – of course, this level of morph doesn’t help when it comes to energy. I am trying to do something every day so that I don’t end up a total zombie – yeh, I know!

I won’t promise anything but I will come on from time to time and at least say Hi!

To all my friends on this site, thank you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers – I still think of you guys and appreciate every good thought you have for me.

Your friend,
TerryW

[pkdoll]

I posted this in scrappsville as well, but wanted to reply here too. Terry my friend how the heck are YOU??!!


Hi Terry!! I started this thread in hopes of luring you in here, even if just to say hi and send a few words of wisdom our way. I truly miss you a great deal and I am ecstatic that you were able to come on and give us those words of wisdom and say hi!!!! I know that you have been functioning on a very low capacity these days and I continue to pray for you daily! For now thank you my friend for stopping in scrapsville and saying a few words of kindness to us. You are so very missed by us all!! :):)

[eye]

[TerryW]

Woolvsie, PK, Eye, -

Thank you for the welcome (partly) back. I will come on at times but won't promise how often - I am not doing any scrapbook work anymore - seem to have lost my enthusiasm for it.

The boy's are doing well, they spent the weekend with me - they are coping well even in light that their mother has confirmed she isn't coming back for at least 2 years - I am afraid it doesn't matter how I look at it I can't understand a mother leaving her children - it just does not work out in my brain let alone what it does in my heart!!! Life goes on although I must be honest, I never really knew what lonliness was. I sometimes think to myself that I could have understaood it more if I was a drunk or a brutal man but then again, she left all three of us, not just me so I guess it is her that has the problem - enough said on that anyway!!

Thanks again for the comments gang - be good (yeh, right!) and I will pop in again.

Good bless each of you for your prayers - don't stop now.

Love and warm wishes, Terry.

[eye]

My thoughts are the same Terry.A mother should never leave her children and someday she may regret this. But her loss and your gain as you make a goood dad for the boys and you still get to see them.Welcome back.:)

[makeyesup]

Terry, it was so good to see you posting on here. Keep strong, our prayers will always be with you and your boys. It really has to be tough for you three, thinking that you are not priority in her way of thinking. Know it is her problem and not yours. I'm sure with your love, the boys will weather the storm.

Take care and know we care

[pkdoll]

Terry anytime you need a little pick me up just pop in here and we will send some your way! Sure good to hear from you again.

[nanwu]

Terry so good to hear from you. Could you send me an email, half of my friends list got wiped (no idea how) and I lost your address, would love to write you again.

[jazzieal]

Terry so good to hear from you..you are always and will always be missed here..and we do worry when you go months and don't pop in...you know us women are just born worry warts...Andrew is doing fairly well...his seizures are much worse and trying to get meds adjusted to help them..summer has been tough on the both of us..you take care and hope to hear from you again soon..Hugs

[sacannon]

Terry, not to be a broken record here, but it is so good to hear from you! We so enjoy your participation. I haven't been in Scrapsville a lot lately myself due to other things going on (projects) around the house. But I stop in occasionally. Sorry to hear about your wife. I will never understand a mother not wanting to be with her children. I do not have any myself, but if I did, I would not want to be apart from them. At least you are able to see the boys now. That should give you some comfort.

Please stop back and visit with us now and then when you are feeling up to it. We miss you around here.

[MaggieMae]

How wonderful to read one of your posts again!! Your wit and charm come through each and every post. There are so many prayers going up for you and your boys, too!
