Hi everyone. I am posting this per request of my best friend Crissy. Her dog, a Siberian Husky named Sammy is having surgery on Tuesday,July 8. She doesn't have internet access so that's why I am posting for her. She hears about all of my 'goatie family' and was so impressed with the stories I tell, she wanted me to add Sammy. He is ten years old and has a tumor growing on his spine. The surgery is quite risky and I know she's worried. Sammy has seen her thru a divorce, moving, and just about everything. He's the sweetest dog! And she is the best friend I have ever had. So remember Crissy and Sammy on Tuesday. Thanks 'goatie family' Love all of you! :(

Hi guys, This prayer request is for a family whose daughter goes to my highschool. Yesterday, Katherine (their daughter) and her parents were in a really bad car wreck and she passed away. Her parents are still in the hospital. :cry: Please pray for their family and friends, along with Katherine's younger brother who was not in the accident. Thank you!!!

:( I can't begin to imagine the family's grief. Katie, we will sure remember Katherine, her parents & brother, and all of you who know them, in prayer. We'll pray for healing of their hearts, as well as their bodies. :prayer:

Hi, yall. Sorry it's been a while I have been swamped with housework, barnwork, etc. I talked to Crissy today and she told me Sammy is doing okay, surgery went well. Of course they always tell you things can go wrong, so we're not out of the woods yet. Sammy hopefully will come home tomorrow with twelve stiches down his spine. (poor thing) I will let you know something more tomorrow. Thanks for all your prayers from Crissy, me, and of course Sammy!!!!

Katie, I am so sorry for you and your friends family! Yall will certainly be in my prayers. I want you know I lost MY BEST FRIEND in high school. He was in a one car accident on an icy road. First time I ever knew of him not wearing his seat belt. And he was only 1 mile from home! We swore we would get married at the age of 25! He was the best 'guy' friend anyone could have! Sadly, I was working in the ER that day the ambulance brought him in. That was one of the hardest days of my life. It was harder watching his mom/stepdad/sister come in to the hospital. I couldn't imagine how bad they missed him. That's been 15 years ago. I still think about him a lot. I still have his pictures in the cedar chest. You don't ever forget those people....and THEY don't forget us either. Sorry to ramble on..but I want you to know that those feelings are felt by everybody. Hang in there Katie! Now...at this sad time don't leave her parents behind. Go to them, talk to them about Katherine, the memories, and STAY in touch with them too. It means everything to them...I know that from experience with Jeremy's parents. God Bless You ALL! :cry:

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Flying H Farms- so sorry to hear that a similar thing happened to you, thank you for the words of encouragement though. Thanks again for praying for us everybody! :prayer:

Jamie · « **Reply #11 on:** July 09, 2003, 04:22:21 AM »

Katie, I am so sorry! I had completely missed this thread until just now. I really hate to hear that about your friend.
Kim, even though I'm fifteen years late and didn't know you then I want to express my sympathy to you also. My best friend died a couple years out of high school in a drowning accident. At our ten year class reunion I was given a candle to light in remembrance of her. It was so sad all over again. :(

:( :( so sorry to hear about your friend too, Jamie

Dear friends,

My husband Buddy needs your prayers. He is such an amazing person- kind, gentle, smart, and a good dad to our "kids." He is also an alcoholic, a disease which threatens our marriage, our livelihood, his life... I have come to realize, after hundreds of "second chances", that he will never beat this disease while he has me as a safety net, and I cannot allow him to drag me down with him in his downward spiral. So, we have separated. I'm made of strong stuff and will be okay, but I worry so much about him...he's had a hard life, and if any of you have any experience with the disease of alcoholism, you know it's horrible. He doesn't understand why I'm doing this, but I hope that someday he will, and that maybe he will even thank me. Please pray for my husband, that he will have the inner strength to recover and life a happy and healthy life.

Thank you.

Carrie, I'll pray that God lifts you up in his arms as you have made a difficult decision. Choosing separation for the better of the whole family unit is a decision that I also have had to make. but the reason was not alcoholism. I pray that your husband will be able to get help and soon. I also pray that God will open up his eyes and let him see what a wise and loving woman you must be.

Thanks Be to God!

GoatTalker · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2003, 04:16:06 AM »

Oh Carrie, it saddens my heart to know you are going through all of this. Yes we will pray for Buddy and for you. As terrible as you must feel, you need to remember you are really blessing him by not enabling him in his self destructive actions, but go slow. AA has a support group for you, and I would strongly recommend you seek their help. They may in turn be able to also help you with ideas on how to handle things without being totally a part from your wonderful husband. :cry:

Sandra and Nicollett, thank you both so much for your kind and comforting words.

rinestonegoat · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2003, 02:59:39 AM »

Carrie,
Yes you are in my prayers!!!!
As an ex wife of an alcoholic, I know where you are coming from. I understand your feelings and actions. Remain Strong!!!! You have to be for his sake.
Yes it is a terrible disease, and the first thing that you learn in the support groups is to 1)don't blame yourself 2)don't let him blame you 3)don't enable him to continue on his path. 4)you cannot force him to change, he must WANT to do it. However when he makes his mind up to do it, make sure that you are there to support him in any way.
My ex, I am sorry to say, did not want to do it. He used every excuse in the world to justify his disease. Including, "I had a bad childhood, leave me alone." He was a good person, he just couldn't see the forest for the trees.
That was 13 years ago, and he still has not beaten it. And recently ended up in jail again, for beating his wife, taking a kitchen knife to her (he didn't stab her though, officers got there just in time) and then assaulting law officers. She is still with him.
I pray that the stance that you took, will help him see the light and make some decisions in his life, not only for your marriage but for his own life.

Sinorejas · « **Reply #18 on:** July 31, 2003, 03:00:13 AM »

Carrie, I'm also so sorry for you having to make such a difficult decision. Both of my parents were alchoholics, unfortunately, and I have many unpleasant memories of what alchohol can do to a family. But you are a very brave woman, and must love him very much, to take the action you did.
I will defineltly (sp.) include you & Buddy in my prayers. Please get in touch with me if there's anything I can do to help you.
:prayer:

Carrie,
In the long darkness,
remember that across the miles of this country,
that there are many people laying down to bed tonite
thinking and praying for you.
Stand true to yourself
And know that we may be miles and miles away
But we are here for you.
And if the Good Lord leads you to it, He will lead you though it.

Sondra · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2003, 02:31:00 PM »

Carrie you and Buddy and family are deffienatly in my prayers!! Just a little extra boost here for you with my story. In 1984 after 23yrs of marriage I realized that my DH (after a terrible year of business losses) was drinking over a 5th of JD a day. He was one that could handle the liquor except for the fact that at this time was blaming himself so much and couldn't handle the loss of the monitary things. I tried to tell him we started with nothing and could start again. I tried many things none of which worked. I finially did just as you have done. I left him. But this didn't seem to help either until I got a divorce which WOKE him up. Now this man is very strong and never went to AA or anything however he quit the drinking. Not that he doesn't have a drink now and then but he controls it. After a yr being divorced and separated we got back together.
I would remarry him at that time but guess you would have to say we lived in sin. After another year we remarried. and will have to say we don't even count the time apart. Come Sept 5th this year will have been a total of 44yrs SO things can work out and am praying you have the good results that I have had!

Dear friends,

This is one of those times when words can't really describe the depth of my feelings, so I'll just say that your frienship and support means the world to me, and has helped me enormously throughout this hard time.

Thank you so, so much for your awesome posts.

Hi Everyone!
Will you please keep my Grandpa and Grandma in your prayers. My Grandpa is in the hospital right now b/c he dislocated his hip,the one he just had a hip replacement on and my Grandma is staying with us on our farm right now til he's home b/c we didn't want her to be home alone. It's on my Dad's side.
Thank You,I'll really appreciate it!

Sinorejas · « **Reply #25 on:** September 05, 2003, 02:26:23 PM »

Hi Amy, we'll sure pray for both your grandparents, in fact, your whole family! Worry can take a toll, too.

Amy Goatress · « **Reply #26 on:** September 05, 2003, 03:04:45 PM »

Thank You soooo much Doreen for your prayers!

Sondra · « **Reply #27 on:** September 05, 2003, 06:11:40 PM »

Amy your grandpa and grandma are certainly in our prayers. It is so nice that Grandma can stay with you, I know it is a great comfort to her as well as grandpa. He doesn't have that to worry abt.

Amy Goatress · « **Reply #28 on:** September 05, 2003, 07:08:39 PM »

Thank You so much Sondra! It means the world to me to see how you guys pray for other people in the Goat community. Yes,it is nice to have Grandma stay here with us for awhile. This isn't the way he would probably like to spend his 80th birthday though. But I did make him a birthday card/get well and put $20 in it.

Amy Goatress · « **Reply #29 on:** September 06, 2003, 03:15:35 AM »

Thank You all for the prayers! My Grandpa is home now. My Grandma is staying with us here on our farm for awhile. Please keep up the prayers.
