all i could do was call my father every time to ask how she was doing. with GODS GRACE every thing went well,we r now praying for her speedy recovery.

Tanuja, I hope your mom is recovering well now and you are feeling a bit less helpless. Being a mother I'm sure she wouldn't want you to worry over her. She understands that you can't be there in person, but she feels your desires to be near. I pray that she recovers quickly and you can visit soon.;)

thk u soo much Jerrilyn ,she is doing much better, i spoke to her today and it was nice to hear her voice.

I hope that your mother recovers quickly! I can only imagine how it must feel to be so far removed from family members when something like this comes up. My prayers are with you and your family!

thks soo much.

Tanuja, very thankful your Mothers operation went well. It is difficult being so far away from loved ones. We only see our daughter, grandson and son-in-law twice a year Our grandson has grown up so fast and we have missed a lot of it. But thankful for the times we do spend together. Will continue to pray for your Mother and you also. In Christ, Judy

thk u soo much.

Tanuja, I understand your feelings about being seperated from you family - in this sort of time - it is very hard - I lived across the country and was unable to be with my Daddy when he was very ill and missed his funeral, too. Times like these are difficult - but I too - did like you and called many times - spoke with whomever I could - when I couldn't speak to my Daddy - he was good with talking with me at least once a week - until the last couple days of his life - so I still feel like I had some wonderful times with him, even then. I did moved to assist my Mother with her illness and have been very happy that I have been here for her, too. But there are still times - when life keeps us apart. The best thing to do is love them when and however you can - allow them the knowledge of your love and concern - we wil pray for each of you - for a speedy recovery and pleasant future memories. *4U

what u say is soo right we must love them -when and however we can, n make the most of the time that we have with them.thks a lot Shirlene.

I am sad for you. I know how hard it is. My dad is in Germany and I am in the USA. He is 90 years old and has bone cancer. We talk every 2 weeks. I am so glad for the internet because I still remember the times you had to make an appointment with the long distance operator and the call quality was horrid. Afterwards you could empty the savings account to pay for the call. I pray for your Moms speedy recovery. Hugs Angie

thk u soo much Angie.

I'm so sorry your Mom is ill, and that you're so far away. Sometimes it seems like especially with the internet the world has gotten so much smaller, but not when your family needs you and you can't be there because of the distance. You and all your family will be in my prayers. Hugs, Marji

thks a lot

Hi so good to see another one of Cuties somewhere in Africa, I am staying in South Africa, and used to go once in a while to Mozambique with my family. Living in Witbank, Mpumalanga this is not so far, but I know whst you are talking about, because my son and his wife is in Sidney Australia, hear a lot of them but can never be near when they needed us. Only on the phone and that is not the real thing. Will pray for your mom to get better. Love Marie

Will be praying for you and your Mother; it is difficult being seperated, isn't it?
I am apart from my daughter and grandson, but am fortunate enough that they live within a days drive.

thk u soo much,will let u know of her progress.

Tanuja, I married a Saudi in '63 and have lived in Saudi Arabia since then, I was fortunate to travel home at least once every two years but it can never make up for 'being there'. We manage to miss those happy moments, but the hard times is when we can't 'be there' for them in their times of need. I can't really console you because I've been in the same place but we can only pray for good news to come by phone!! Blessings to you and yours.
