~ My Last Entry ~

           DsDesignsRelax.gif


............. for today, I swear!  Today was a weird day.  I really can't put my finger on it.  I woke up, ok.  A bit stuffy, sneezing and coughing, but other then that there was a calmness.  I was relaxed.  All day today I was in an odd mood.  Silly some what... something I haven't been in weeks.  Not sure, call it acceptance.  The inability to control all things around you and that sometimes you have to leave things in a higher powers hands.  Believe me I am still full of fear, but I carry a different hope and faith.  One more positive then it's been in days.  I guess knowing this is going to be an ongoing battle, not something that will go away over night, and can't be fixed with a magic wand, has finally hit me and settled in.  I do apologize for all the rambling, the tears, the whining.

 

 :::deep breath:::  A couple of weeks ago I had some issues with work that you are all of aware of.  During that time I had some news regarding my sister.  I've asked for prayers, good thoughts, and for candles to be lit.  Your response was overwhelming without even knowing why.  Your support has been welcomed and held close to my heart.  I can't even put into words the way you've all made me feel.  I will forever be grateful.  My 'big sister' was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and they have found it in her liver as well.  She has seen different Dr's. and will be following the best course of action for her.  Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Spring is around the corner, so the calendar says.  I look at the temperature and I shiver, saying 'yeah right!'  I'm hoping posting some spring graphics will urge Mother Nature to bring it on.  A bright blue sky, a warm sun beating down, green green grass and the pleasant color and smell of flowers will do us all good.  I know you all agree :)

 

I will end this now as I've bombarded you with alerts, silliness, and a part of me that aches.  Thank you for being there for me.

 

Hugs

Let us pray for each other.  My only brother that is left was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the past month.  Since he is nearly eighty years old, the doctors don't even suggest drastic action, so we know it is only a matter of time.  Having just lost my last sister less than six months ago, this hit me rather hard, so I know what you are going through.  My main hope is that I had a friend who defeated the odds, and did live two years--so let's hope they both are fighters and will be around for a long time yet.  Much love, LaVern

(((((((((Donna))))))))) I knew it had to be this. But you have to keep positive. Treatments for cancer have come along way over the years. My cancer was in stage 3 mode, very serious, and i am in remission. I will keep lighting the candle for your sister, and I will pray for her. Give her a hug for me, and let her know she has a friend in PA who cares.
Love ya,
Cindy

Hi, Donna. I'll keep your sister in my constant prayers--I promise. I knew it had to be something awful for you not to even be able to speak of it. Just remember that the Lord has everything under control, OK? His ways are not our ways, but they are the perfect way. Please remember that I'm only an email away. If you send me your phone number, I'll call you whenever you want me to-- (I have a calling plan where it's unlimited for zero) and we can talk and pray together at anytime of the day or night, OK?  God bless you, Donna.
