<p>I was just lurking to see how the people on this thread are doing with the upcoming graduations this spring and I read missypie’s post. We’ve “spoken” on other threads. I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your father. Please take care.</p>
<p>Condolences on the sudden loss of your father, MP…</p>
<p>Oh, missypie, I’m so, so sorry.</p>
<p>Missypie, I am so sorry about your dad. You must be in shock. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.</p>
<p>I prayed for you and your family, Missypie.</p>
<p>missypie, So very sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your dad. Thinking of you and your family.</p>
<p>missypie, I am so sorry.</p>
<p>missypie – Joining with all the others on the thread to send my sincere condolences and prayers as you navigate the unknown territory of losing your father. I am so sorry for your loss.</p>
<p>WOW–missypie–such a sudden thing. Let us know how you and the family is doing.</p>
<p>Just to add that I always enjoy your posts and while our son’s are quite different I still walk the walk with you. Am hoping that your family is loving and supportive now.</p>
<p>Hugs, Missy. I will keep you in my thoughts and send you some good one-step-at-a-time mojo. I know it’s especially difficult to grieve and be kind to yourself when you have clients and operate on billable hours, but just know that it will all sort out and trust your partners to pitch hit and do what you need to do for you. I was in the middle of a large and very pressured project with a new client when my dad died five years ago. They are still a good client today and refer us often.</p>
<p>Fall Girl, good luck on the MRI today. I’m sending you some mojo too. Better a cautious doc than a sloppy one.</p>
<p>And dte, just remember that when it comes to nurses experience trumps that whole young hot thing 
So hex upon the ageist ninny ;)</p>
<p>On the flu subject - D did get the shot and did just get the flu. It was however short lived. Basically she felt really bad for 2-3 days. Now she just has a slight cough - 6 days into it. Now she might have been better if the first day she felt bad she hadn’t gone skiing for the entire day but she just thought that she was getting a cold at that point.</p>
<p>Downtoearth, the next time someone ‘jokes’ about cute young nurses being better than you, tell them that the young things daily benefit from your experience. What an ignorant thing to say to someone, what a great way to encourage the boy’s disrespect for mature women. Ugh.</p>
<p>Missy pie, I am so sorry about your dad. I hope that your mom is coping. What a shock. Hugs to you all.</p>
<p>Oh missypie - I’m so sorry to hear this. Your mom must be in shock. Hugs to the family…</p>
<p>thanks guys, my unit has that culture, I think this mom was joking and didnt realize how it came off. However, i do realize that it is a constant reminder of my middle age, and how one is losing(lost ) their looks. am so glad my H loves me hehe.
D2 is getting kind of testy so I am thinking she is doing that seperation thing. We are over that with D1.</p>
<p>des anyone have addresses?
MP we are here for you</p>
<p>speaking of that Notre Dame football player, Do you all actually exist???</p>
<p>Well, speaking for myself, I exist, but apparently my deceased girlfriend does not?</p>
<p>I just came here to report about my son’s flu shot and saw your post, Missy. Sending my very deepest condolences.</p>
<p>So sorry to have been MIA but my vision has been a little blurred making it a little hard ot read but then in catching up… I was floored by Missy’s news!</p>
<p>Missy - i know you are probably deep in the trenches of life right now and I do so hope that you’ll get a quiet moment to see how much we are here for you. I am so so sorry for the loss of your dad, especially shocking for it to happen on his birthday. I hope you and your entire family will find room to remember all the happy times amid such sadness. hugs to you and your family. I am holding you close in my thoughts and wishing you peace.</p>
