    oh Slonedeb.... I am so sorry to hear of this tragic accident outside your home....

    what an enormous sadness, and for this to happen at this time of year. it's good of you to say prayers for the family -- i'm sure that they're in complete shock still. I will add my prayers to yours.

    know that we are always surrounding you with our care and prayers.

    Slonedeb. Just imagine. You've made it thru another Christmas!! Goodness what a walk of faith you are on. You've certainly had some storms since this thread was started, but you continue to ride them out -- being an example to us in the process.

    Hope that you're able to have a lovely day today, with your pain managed.

    The rest of our family is coming home tonight..... so we'll be having our Christmas tomorrow!!

    My sincere condolences to the boy's family, Deb, and prayers for the father in particular for his personal loss and trauma. Quickly in a moment so much can change. It makes us realize to take the good moments we have and go with them, hold them close, and call them up easily from our memory. 

    I am glad to read your post, Deb. You're brave to weather on with fortitude, and generous to call on kbug. I think of you both, and say a little prayer for you as well as the others here on bc.org.

     Tender

    Deb, glad you were able to spend time with your family for Christmas. So sorry about the tragedies in you area. I'm praying your next chemo goes well and yields good results for you. How has your daughter's results turned out? I always think of you with that grand-daughter that spends time with you. Hope you've been able to enjoy her company. Continue to ride out your storms.

    Another day, a peaceful one, with a lull in the usual business of life. Holidays are so wonderful a time to renew ties, to kick back and relax and enjoy an extra tea or treat. I hope your able to partake of such, Deb: maybe your granddaughters have a trick or two up there sleeves for you, like homemade fudge or a pretty Kentucky grown winter flower or plant. 
     
    Keeping you close in my thoughts. May your next treatment go smoothly and without much pain on getting to and fro next week. 
     
    Good wishes to you and your family,
    Tender

    Slonedeb. Starting my day with thoughts and prayers for you!! Praying that this latest treatment is the wonder marvel developed with your specific cells in mind. Praying that it is working it's miracles as I sit here typing.

    Know that you are never alone. We SloneRangers are always lifting you up in prayer, keeping you close to our hearts. Lifting up your story. Hoping for the best. Praying your pain is kept in check, that you might have quality time with your dear husband and family.

    I'm keeping your daughter in my prayers today, as I get ready to go pray them in church.

    It's warm and windy here, and I'm wondering if it's similarly so in Kentucky by you, Deb. Almost could open upthe windows for a bit. Our Christmas tree was too dry, so regrettably we took it down, but still the extra red in the house is pleasing to my eyes. I hope your day is good, maybe listening to the music you like so well. Music soothes our troubles, and is a blessing here on earth.

    Slonedeb. Just wanted you to know how much I treasure your example. Your fortitude. Your strength. And your willingness.

    I know you think that you are crying or whining or letting us down, but I want you to know all over again how beneficial it's been for me to observe your ever-filled-with-faith approach to all that you're going thru. You're a true model of a port-in-the-storm.

    I went for a regular 6 month mamo today, thinking it was a ho-hum nothing test and ended up being there for over a couple of hours with recalls and new shots and more magnifications and consultations and blah blah blah blah.

    This beast is a wiley, rotten, evil creature, but I certainly don't need to tell you that.

    They've put me on a 6 month wait-and-see plan. (Crap. Crap. Crap.) I seriously didn't anticipate this possibility, so I'm a bit rolled over by a truck, currently, but I know that I will get my second wind here in a bit -- in large part due to your example and that of the collective sisterhood here, who've taught me so much.

    Thanks Slonedeb. For your willingness to share it all, because you have, I'm stronger.

    And a special thanks to all of the SloneRangers who knit a closeness here over our dear sister thru our prayers and expressions of caring. May we always be here for each other.

    I agree with faithandfifty full heartedly. Time with you and others on a regular basis helps me relate by your sharing, and the difficult, plugging alone attitude that this d@mn disease requires. Do we learn to compartmentalize on a daily basis some better? Give it time, than say enough, now time for me. I'm glad you've shared so much of yourself with us Deb, as have so many on bc.org, and truly hope you know how close I feel to you as a consequence. 
     
    Faithandfifty, incredible day for you when not expected which stirs the passions previously quieted. sO a quiet prayer for you tonight and there on. Not meaning to stir the pot,but don't forget the MRI's (well done is a necessity) are very helpful in wait and see times, and show the architecture of the breast in an incredible way.
     
    Thoughts for all of my sisters and brothers,
    Tender

    SloneRangers and our dear Queen Slonedeb.....

    Thank You for sharing this extended family of love with me. I'm so grateful for your kind words.

    I'm over the initial shell-shock of the news and must now pick myself up, dust myself off and get on with my world. You brave sisters teach me how to do --just that-- with your loving examples, going thru so much tougher situations than the threshold where I stand currently. Thank you for your concern and insight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    We are bonded by our caring and our concern for one another.

    Slonedeb, thank you for your words of comfort. You are indeed royalty here, and when you're darn good and ready, you will have a throne awaiting you in heaven. You've taught us so much.

    I'm praying that your treatment is the miracle designed just for you..... and gives you further holidays and loving moments with your family. That is what it's all about.

    Love to you.

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    Riding with you, through the storms!

    Such a lovely prayer, Deb. I read it over and over. You certainly have a great way with words. It's dusk, and I tend to rest and reflect at this time of day. It is a blessing to have another Christmas, New Year, and as yourself, I am very thankful for being here. I think my New Year motto will be to angst less, enjoy more, see the big picture that's made out of the individual days. 

    With the world in such strife, I realize I am but one amongst many, yet have little immediate suffering. My heart goes out to all in this world who are hungry, fearful, grieving, and in pain tonight.

    Evening prayers,

    Tender

    Dear Deb and fellow bc.org members,
     
    Many posts have traveled between us during 2008, knitting together our group of women and men with the commonality of breast cancer in self or family. I thank all of you for your willingness to share such intimate thoughts,wise truths behind the daily goings on with this disease and aids to keep one's integrity as we walk our individual journey. Your words have embraced many of my own thoughts, feelings, lows and highs and affirmed me in a way that is very needed. I wish you all the grace of endurance and happiness as you welcome in the New Year 2009. May we approach it with hope, hold it with passion, and live it one day at a time.

    Holy Father,

    God of our yesterdays, our today, and our tomorrows.

    We praise You for Your unequaled greatness.

    Thank You for the year behind us and for the year ahead.

    Help us in Your new year, Father, to fret less and laugh more.

    To teach our children to laugh by laughing with them.

    To teach others to love by loving them.

    Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He came for us.

    So that Love could be with us, and we could know You.

    That we could share Love with others.

    Help us, Father, to hear Your love song in every sunrise,

    in the chirping of sparrows in our backyards,

    in the stories of our old folks, and the fantasies of our children.

    Help us to stop and listen to Your love songs,

    so that we may know You better and better.

    We rejoice in the world You loved into being.

    Thank You for another new year and for new chances every day.

    We pray for peace, for light, and for hope, that we might spread them to others.

    Forgive us for falling short this past year.

    We leave the irreparable past in your hands, and step out into the unknown new year knowing You will go with us.

    We accept Your gift of a new year and we rejoice in what's ahead, depending on You to help us do exactly what You want..

    I say it again, we rejoice!

    In Jesus name,

    Amen.

    HALLELUJAH, Daffodil. Did you write the sentiment above or is it from something published somewhere that I can go and purchase? In either case I will read and reread these words over and over. What an uplifting message for our Slonedeb and all the SloneRangers who read and post here together, supporting one another. Thank you for taking the time to share.

    Slonedeb. We made it together. We made it by holding hands and praying and laughing and crying and praying some more!! Happy New Year, darling. May it unfurl with miracles and surprises, encouragement and hope..... for you, your daughter, your neice and your entire extended family.

    We will stand by you as you move forward into the future.

    Much love on this special day of new beginnings. I wish you well.

    You've riden out so many storms and you are blessed to greet the new year, as a result.
