Jay W:
My lady recently informed me that her father had a stroke recurrence.  She told me that due to this, her posts would be a bit more infrequent.  I told her that I understood, and that her first priority was to her family.  The timing couldn't of been worse since I just sent her a birthday gift before that post.  I had to ask her for her phone number in the next post to ensure delivery of my gift.

Has anyone her run into a situation like this?  Any advice?  I feel adrift.  We were making real sincere progress in our communication with each other.  I don't want to be a burden, at most a far away cheerleader...:cool:

I don't think I can do much except demonstrate my patience and give my support.

My girl's best friend had to go to the hospital and she told me she might not write for a few days.  I sent her an encouraging letter and told her how proud I was of her taking care of her friend.  Sent my best wishes etc.  Boy, she really appreciated that, I think it really helped our relationship a lot.

Jay , words of encouragement will mean more than you realize , as not only is family No.1 there hospital system is such that the family does a lot more for the well being of the patient than in a Western hospital , send a fruit basket over for her to take to him from both of you and you will win 2 with 1 basket , regards Robert .

Danny:
Jay, that's right, be patient and supportive. That's the right thing to do.

JimB:
Yep, what they said.
