Our last posting...
Dear Friends and Family -
We are doing as well as can be expected with Scott's loss...day to day. Many of you have offered your thoughts and prayers in notes, cards, emails, phone calls and visits as ways to help us with dealing and coping with Scott’s death. We all thank you for those kind gestures.
What Ben plans to do is reverse the order the postings for other's out on the web searching for information on pancreatic cancer treatment so they may come across his father's story from the beginning.
Please keep in touch with us; you have all helped us in so many ways. Our email addresses will remain the same.
A poem was sent to me, which has a lot of meaning for all of us. We would like to make this poem our last entry in Scott's blog.
The Hedrington's
Listen, gentle people, and hear my truest needs....
I hear you stumbling for words. Relax.
There are no words .....I hear you
remembering a funny story about my
loved one and looking embarrassed
because you are laughing. Share with
me. Let me laugh. It gives me
something to hold on to in the middle of
the night when I feel only pain ....Be
your happy self... and let me be me. On
days when I can laugh, I will. On days
when I can speak of my loved one, I need
you to share my memories....You don't
have to give me answers, for I will learn
to live without them. You don't have to
pretend my loved one never existed,
thinking I will forget if you do. Let me
speak his name, and you speak it, too.
He is always there, that one I love so
deeply, always a part of who I am. If
you take that from me, I will be less than
who I am.
