Amber, you are an inspiration. Yes, I too believe in a life after death. I will pray that you are kept comfortable, that God will walk with your family through your loss, and I look forward to meeting you in heaven one day.

Amber,
You are an inspiration to me. You are a strong woman lliving her life the way she has chosen at the end. You may very well be here in 6 months. Who is to say? I'm glad your pain is controlled and you are enjoying the gift of each day. .

I am so amazed at your quiet confidence and peace with your decision; "Be still and know that I am God" - those words seem to resonate from your decision. Many blessings to you for continued peace.

Hello again my dear friends,
I can feel of your love, support and prayers. They help me remain positive and happy and at peace. I am now on a pain pump to manage my pain better. We are still playing around with dosages to give me the most relief. After not leaving the house for about 10 days I was able to go to my sons first high school cross country track meet on Wednesday. I was so pleased to be there, and so was my son. The adrenaline from seeing him pace himself and succeed at racing, and the pride and joy I felt gave me such a high. Every moment I am still here for my children I am so grateful for.
Because of my increasing pain and sleeping, my nurse suspects I have weeks left. Of course she admits that it is up to God how long I am here, she is just giving an educated guess based on her experience and the signs I am showing. Of course I pray for more than just weeks, I still want months! I will try to be grateful for the time I am given, and I will make the most of every day.

Amber, may God bless you with days filled with love and peace.
