| Son-in-law Greg | Views: 6061 |
Just when I think life is getting better, I find out that my Greg our son-in-law is being treated for Leukemia. They did get it early, so he will only have a week of Chemo then they are going to give him some Orange stuff, don’t know what it is called. He will be in the Hospital for 4 week to get the white blood cells back up to where they should be. I know that all of you have your problems, please take a minute and send him good thoughts.
Love You all.

One day, out of blue, you decided to make a home in my body.
It was such a surprise to me.
Is it because of all the McD I have been putting into my body? Is it because of the cigarettes I used to smoke when I was younger? Oh, is it because I am somewhat overweight?
I don’t like you and your whole bunch of family procreating and making home in my body. So, I negotiated with you and told you that I will sacrifice my breast for you. Then, you all can go away. That was the deal, wasn’t it?
I played everything by the rules. I worked really hard. I put toxic poisons in my body and got really ill so that you can all leave. I sacrificed my job, risked infetility, and suffered mental hell. It’s all for you, so that you can go away and leave my body.
But, you are still here and still invading my home. You are not playing fair. Cancer is not fair.
No cancer is not fare I feel as you do who invited the cancer anyhow I know I didn’t and not go away I have been on treatment for 13 months and still have four more to go before I find out if it has left my body. Hang and in there Yuyu.

Posted on Dear Yuyu,
What a great post! It puts into words what we all go through in our minds when we’re dealing with this invader. I hope you don’t spend too much time thinking about what you may have done to “cause” this. I really had to keep myself from wasting energy on that and focus on what to do next.
Let us know how your 2nd opinion goes this week. I hope it goes really, really well!
Peace,
Kathy
Posted on Dear YuYu; I don’t quite understand the community part of the blog, but I found this post of yours tonight on it, so I thought it was quite pertinent to all of us. You expressed it so well that I thought you might have been aiming for a poem out of it. I think you could actually create one, with those words of yours. You really are creative, and don’t forget the goodness in YOU. Cancer smancher, it all goes on with the beat of the drum, but one day those drums are going to be silenced.

With the loss of our dear Gemma, so many of us seem to want to find a way to do something to honor her memory. Here’s a way for us all to remember and express gratitude for the lives of loved ones we’ve lost.
Paste the following address into your browser, then follow the instructions to light a candle for someone you want to remember.

I’ve already started a group for Gemma. To get to her group, paste this address into your browser.

Bless you all.

Thank you Kathy!
Posted on Thanks Kathy!
Posted on Hi Kathy I would like to start a candle for my friend and do not know how to start. I looked at the web-site, but it does not tell me how to start.
Need input!

Posted on It me again. could you do something for me?
For some reason I can not start a group for a friend named John there is one for John, But It is not the John I want can ya help me with that?
Hug Sherri
Dear Sherri,
I hope this answers both your questions.
1st page—click on “Begin”
2nd page—take a moment to breathe, then click “continue”
3d page—click “enter”
4th page—select an unlit candle and click on it
5th page—reflect for a few moments, then click on “continue”
6th page—(all optional, I believe) add a message, your initials (so you can find the candle again), and the initials for the group you want your candle to be in. If you are starting a new group, just enter the name you want the group to have and it will be started.
7th page—enter your country of residence
8th page—click on the candle to light it…take some time to sit with the lit candle and contemplate
9th page—if you would like to send a link to that particular candle to others, click on “yes,” otherwise click on “no”
If this does not work for you, let me know.
Peace,
Kathy
Sherri,
For your group for John, you may need to add the first letter of his last name or some other identifier to the group name to distinguish it from other groups for other people named John. The group names are limited to 5 letters, I think, so it’d have to be something like “JohnC”.
Peace,
Kathy
Jill would you please make the Candle web-site a link, to make easier to get to.
Hi again sorry I see Kathy has the Link!
Brain Fart! Lol
Sherri
no worries. I actually just changed it. ;-)
