    Why can't we all just follow Faith around the country?

    This is very colorful, and I'm sure she could see us following her :)

    I came on tonight to have some fun on the beach, but learned of Alaska Deb and just felt sick.

    We now have another Angel Cry

    such a loss. such a deep ache and sorrowful loss.

    may we always remember & treasure our AlaskaDeb's sense of humor & determination.

    may we rejoice in her restoration to wholeness & perfection.

    such a sadness......................

                                  When I Die

    When I die, sing no sad song for me,

    And cry no tears for you see, there will

    be no more pain I will be set free.

    Don't stand by my grave and wonder

    Why, why this person had to die.

    Cause I will be with my love ones

    in heaven you see and oh how happy

    I will be.  By Debbie

    Lovely Debbie, so much for the no tears though.......

    AlaskaDeb was like an icon.  This is such sad news.

    I think this well describes how I feel.

    Such a Wonderful Person Deb was....

    She brought Life & Sunshine with Her Smile....

    A Zest for Life in the Face of Such Uncertainty....

    A Happy Warrior Woman with her Bright Headdress.....

    Know that She Watches Over us All at BCO Today &  Always.....

    Sending Prayers & Gentle Hugs to her Family May Peace be with Them Innocent

    Beautiful writing foots.  Yes, Deb touched all of us, she made a difference.  I love her picture with her headdress on.  Such a sad period of time right now.

    Faith, stay safe in this awful icey weather.

    Someone called the nerves you get before a procedure "monkeys".  It is so apt.  I feel like they are bouncing around inside.  I get my replacement port tomorrow.  I will be glad when it is all over.  The first time I got a port it was SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOO painful.   And I am afraid of that pain again.  The nurse practitioner said that I would receive an iv drug (find a vein, go ahead, I dare you).  But I did it once and I can do it again.  Someone have a beach chair ready so I can sit down with a fancy smancie drink and toss those monkeys to the sand.  I would appreciate it.

    Hang on Dream.  I'll look after your "monkeys".  You'll be okay.

    Marathon Day #1 complete. Well received. Technology worked!!

    I just sat here last night in my room and soaked up the sadness & the silence of our Deb's departure. Not a lot of sleep to be had. I started to cry during my keynote, telling about her bravery. Believe me, the room get's quiet when the keynote person starts crying.

    I hadn't intended to 'go there' but once I started, it was a downhill slide..... I just thought it was appropriate to share her spirit with this group.

    hugs to all..........

    On a brighter night, I'm going out to dinner with my first cousin, who lives here in Wichita.

    Wonder if I'll get to fly out tomorrow? Quite a few flights cancelled.

    The wonder of winter travel.

    Take me to a beach!!

    Hey Beachies!!!!!!!!!! Yeah Sharon, tomorrow is my last Herceptin treatment!! I would love it if all of you could come tag along. It sure would make me happy to introduce you to my doc and the nursing staff. Hey Dream.....you're getting another port?? I get mine out next week----I HOPE! I've felt so sad today with the passing of AlaskaDeb and knowing that Slonedeb doesn't feel well and Footprintsangel is having such a hard time, but it's a time for the sisters to stick together.......we all have this thing called "bc" that ties us all together and you're some of the best gals I know. I've really felt like I lost a family member when I heard about AlaskaDeb. It was just a huge punch in the tummy. but............life is still going on and I pray for those who are traveling a hard road right now......it could be any one of us tomorrow.

    OK...Now.....I'd like to celebrate with a huge party for "LAST HERCEPTIN FOR COONIE DAY"

    All during "twins-watch '08" our AlaskaDeb sent me the most encouraging messages..... all about smelling new baby heads and wrapping up new heart beats.

    I know she'd get a kick outta this one:

    Group hug indeed.

    OK. One more -- since we can all use an extra smile & hug right now.

    They clean up kinda cute, don't they?

    They have to be 'roped & put in the bucket' to get them both in the same picture, at this point! LOL
