That was three years ago, and she's here, healthy, and busier than me. Your attitude reminds me of hers, no sense grumbling is her motto, and she has always focused on what she can do, not what she can't. Some days she is tired and achy and on those days she rests. When she's feeling good, she goes like the everready bunny. She leaves for Alaska in August to scratch some more of her travel itch. She's 73 and mentors other new cancer patients in between all her other volunteer work and tending a yard full of flowers. There is a power in tending a garden isn't there? <br />You're blessed with a good attitude and a great team. I hope the meds keep the pain in check. With mom there was a lot of fiddling to find the right one and the right dosage. <br />Wishing you some pain relief and looking forward to pictures of the flamingos and your flowers.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042261106927311525.post-89367556125893662422010-07-17T06:53:54.165-07:002010-07-17T06:53:54.165-07:00I think I would place myself at the biggest window...I think I would place myself at the biggest window of your house with the best view of your beautiful yard with the most comfortable chair you have. Even if that means sitting in the kitchen! There is nothing more peaceful than watching the beauty of a yard you have planted and nurtured. Better than a book or TV. <br />Peace to you,<br />-MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042261106927311525.post-74341533422193830422010-07-17T06:50:03.045-07:002010-07-17T06:50:03.045-07:00YOU are an amazing woman.

I can hear it all the way up here in NY.<br /><br />I love your take on this whole thing, and though I'm sure sometimes you don't feel grateful or optimistic or fearless, it's all in there somewhere. I am part scientist part spiritualist and I truly believe that your energy will help you heal.<br /><br />You and Ms Moon and I bet many of your crew down there are Steel Magnolias. I didn't like the movie, but I love the metaphor.<br /><br />Oh. And your garden sounds like heaven.<br /><br />xoxoxo<br /><br />ps. you hold a special place in my heart, as your gift of chickens to Ms. Moon was the beginning of my yellow brick roadmichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861251743062824891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042261106927311525.post-52071712587631572282010-07-17T06:36:14.472-07:002010-07-17T06:36:14.472-07:00Best wishes to you, Kathleen, and all your good fr...Best wishes to you, Kathleen, and all your good friends. xxJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042261106927311525.post-19547060378506024542010-07-17T05:51:52.556-07:002010-07-17T05:51:52.556-07:00First- yesterday after you called me I kept almost...First- yesterday after you called me I kept almost crying and then not and it gave me a headache and I'm not going to do that any more, okay? If I feel like crying, even if you are there, I'm just going to cry and you will understand that it is just heart-melt as someone said yesterday and not sadness. And if you need to cry, you can too because I am quite sure that your heart is doing some melting too. And overflowing and so forth.<br />There is no way to be sad around you, Kathleen, and that it is one of the reasons I fell in love with you. But it's overpowering sometimes, this knowledge that you are having to deal with all of this stuff that you are not inclined to deal with (who would be?) although I am blown away at how honestly and freely and fully you ARE dealing with it and that makes me want to cry too. <br />I could go on forever but no, that's not what comments are for. <br />I'll simply say that I love you and that it helps ME for you to be sharing these words so generously. Every one of them, every bit of them, all of them.<br />So good morning, dear! Isn't it a beautiful morning? I love you! <br />MaryMs. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042261106927311525.post-86881514750157079612010-07-17T04:48:19.811-07:002010-07-17T04:48:19.811-07:00A good friend has had bone mets for years and is d...A good friend has had bone mets for years and is doing well. She had radiation and chemo. Hers was in the back as well. There are good treatments out there. I can give you her email if you want. She is a scientist and a fierce intelligent woman. I like your attitude.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.com
