I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Stepping away...

 

 Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

 
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
 
 
Unfortunately, for right now, I am stepping away from Blogging for a bit....
 
Just till I get my wits about me....

Joe was admitted to the Hospital yesterday and my suspicions were sadly proven to be true....

He was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer that has spread to the Liver and most likely the lymph nodes.....
 
 

I want to Thank everyone for all the prayers and positive thoughts that you have already sent for Joe, and my family...

My goal is to keep him as comfortable and pain free as possible....

And if I may ask to keep those prayers coming that we can do that and also for my sons as we face this together as a family.....

THANK YOU!!!!

Hugs,
Deb


 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

  15. I pray that your family finds peace and healing. Cancer is hard. I hope there are moments that your family draws closer that will bring you peace and calm in the years to come.

    May you be surrounded with people who will make this challenging journey as peaceful as it can be, breaking and moving away challenges that sometimes feel overwhelming. When you feel lost and alone may you feel the peace of God walking with you and holding you up.

  38. Adding my prayers to all of the others who are lifting you, your family, Joe and his medical team up in prayer right now, Debbie. He's always been such a fun part of the blog no matter if he's finding seasonal decor items for you or helping your neighbors add curb appeal to their outdoor spaces. I'm so heartbroken for you, yet at the same time thankful he has such a loving support system to give him all the extra tlc he needs to get through this. Big hugs, CoCo
