anyone starting chemo in Nov 2005

I am so sorry too Odalys.  I hope you can begin healing soon.  Your mom will always be in your heart.

Love,

Margerie

Odalys, I know little about your mom but I do know she has a wonderful daughter and was surrounded by love. How good to hear that she was ready to die and be with God. That means her transition was peaceful. That's what I want for everyone I love: that they be ready and peaceful. That's what I want for me, too.



I loved hearing about how God touched you in the hospital hallway. You were a miracle for your friend. I hope she reaches out and takes all the help and comfort she deserves.



Maybe your friend was a miracle for you, too. She reminded you that all you have been through, all the things that were so horrendous at the time, all that can be made positive and helpful by changing the circumstances.



I love you all, dear sisters.



Anna

Thank you dear sisters.  Your love has helped me get through very dark days. 

Here is a pic of the beautiful afghan the "circle grils" made for me. 

Each square was hand made by a Circle Girl and Liz put it all together and mailed it to me.  I received it yesterday.  The timing was perfect.  It arrived five minutes after I had walked in the door from Mami's burial. I wrapped myself in it and slept for 5 hours!  I am touched by such love and generosity shown to me by the bc.org family.  Words can not explain my gratitude.

I love all my bc.org sisters (and brothers too).   God bless you all.

If you want to learn more about the afghan, check out the "afghan community" thread: http://community.breastcancer.org/topic/87/conversation/502522?page=76#idx_2275

Odalys, this is a very dear group of people here at bc.org.

How wonderful the afghan got there at that very moment in time. It is beautiful .

Glad to hear you got some sleep also.

Sending love and prayers to you and the rest of my sisters tonight.

Hope all had a nice Valentines Day.

Talked to my granddaughter , her boyfriend gave her a dozen roses and a big stuffed animal...She was all excited. She is a tom boy, to young to date, but I thought it was so cute.

Went to dinner with Michael ,Cory, Jessie and Sebastian tonight. We had a wonderful meal and great conversation.

I was missing my other son, but did get to talk to Ashley...I'm due a trip home, or maybe all of them will come here in May when the baby is born .

Depends on mom. She has slowed down allot ....starting to get a frail look to her. She is almost 75 so I guess it's time.

Love you all

Dear Odayls, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother.   You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I've been trying to catch up on all of the postings, but after I read about Kim, its difficult.  

I will check back later.  

Luv to all

LAT56

Lat, I sent you an email about Kim I thought. We have missed you so much. We have all agreed to stay in-touch often.....Anything can happen .

Odalys, I pray you are peaceful.

I wanted to stop in just to say hello to you all.

Here is a new picture of Sebastian in my bathroom sink.

And my Valentines gift....carpet, curtains, coffee table, couch & love-seat ( looks like leather, it is micro-swede. ) I can't believe it isn't leather. You won't know if you don't touch it. Even up close as close as a foot. My living room has sat untouched since July !!!!! The spot on the pillow is from the camera

Have a wonderful day sisters.

Mary Lou- you are not putting your teeth in a jar!!!!

Which tooth do you need extracted?  You should be able to get a temporary tooth while things heal.  You should heal for a couple of months before you get a permanent fix.  I wish you we closer- my DH would take care of you! Look to see if your dentist has any financing options.  You have a beautiful smile!  Pain is such an emotional thing.  I hope you get your pain resolved soon so that you can figure out the next step.

Mary Lou, I hope you get some really good options from your dentist. I am sorry to hear you are having pain, though, and hope it gets better soon!



I haven't been able to check in here much lately, A little overwhelmed with so many activities right now. My group is havieng a retreat in 2 weeks and the day after that we are flying back to France. Yikes! We are selling one house and buying another, so there's a rather huge move to accomplish fairly quickly, bec. I need to be back here to be with my daughter when she gives birth in early June. She's here right now and looks pregnant for sure. Poor thing, her breasts have gone up two to three sizes (she was already a DD!) and make her feel very uncomfortable. She's always had a reduction in the back of her mind, but this makes it all the more appealing. I told her we'll go to my plastic surgeon in a year or two. She never wanted to do it bec. she wants to breast feed and we don't know if that's possible after a reduction. Guess we could have asked.... Anyway, she doesn't complain, but my heart goes out to her, she has to wear all sorts of different bras at different times of day, one at night, one to lounge around, one to go out...



But it is heaven to have her here with me, esp. today, my birthday. We can't go anywhere bec. there's an icestorm here. Hubs went to work anyway, hope he is okay.



So I'm going to be one busy girl for the next two weeks but will check in with my sisters and send you all lots of love.



Anna

Here is a cake for you Anna ,

have a wonderful birthday.

Hi sisters,

Just a quick note, I've been without a computer for nearly a WEEK and I have been chomping at the bit to get on here and say hello!!!!! 

Boy oh boy have I missed you guys!  Love and prayers, Deb

Hey, just wanted to let you know this....I posted this on another thread .

Here is what I wrote:

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson up the action ante for this adventure film. It is a action-comedy....Fools Gold.

I went to see it last night and I laughed like I haven't laughed in a long time. It was good for the soul.

Plus it was talking about a guy named Sebastian. That is my Grandsons name and I don't hear that name often, so that was neat.

And let me tell you, MoJo or not, Matthew McConaughey was "HOT" worth seeing even if you were deaf.....LOL

I agree, that baby is so darned cute!!!!!!!!

And thanks for the pic of MM- I am a muscley bare chest fan!!

Ladies, I have started a blog.  It is fun!  After you get it all set up.  I have a bc survivor friend here that insisted that I do this.  Very good therapy already.  Anyway, please check it out.  If you like it, bookmark it and check back every few days as I plan on blogging 3-4 times a week.  My friend Hayley is also pretty darned hilarious- so if you need some comic relief (in addition to my contribution-LOL) check out her blog with the link at the end.

  She also wants me to do myspace, thinking about it   I am a little intimidated right now- I don't think I am cool enough- LOL.

If you all set up blogs, let me know and I will be sure to visit and comment.

I'm with you Deb, I would love to be where it is warm in November....with my sisters. I feel Kim went there before us and will be there in spirit somehow too. Just was a thought I had the other day.

I miss her so.

Marg- I love the blog!

Love to you all, it is 3:37am  and I have to get ready for work....My alarm just went off. I woke up at 2:30 and couldn't go back to sleep.

I didn't go to bed till midnight.....I will be dead on my feet this afternoon.

TTYL
