You, dear Vicky, are gathering love. And I vote for "Audrey".

Your words stay in my heart and mind and soul.<br />You, and those words, come at just the perfect time for me (too).<br /> "I have eyes for the here. For the now, and the nearly now...just now."<br />As I sit here, after reading this post coffee in hand, tears are streaming at the gift you just gave me...gave all of us. It is so easy to go to the past, to the "I wish I had as," the "shoulda, woulda, couldas." The "I would like a do-over or a different life story, please." But you, my dear soul sis, remind me that it is all really about having eyes for the now, for the Joys and Gifts, and LOVE abounding. For the meals, made with so much love, that they take a day to make and are devoured almost instantly. They knew what it took for you to do that and it fed their hearts and stomachs and souls. A piece of the wife and Mama. For the pictures that arrive that tell the heart of the story. And...I am so happy that your "surprise" brought you joy and even tears. Always know, honey, that at any time you need a Mama's touch... I am here. I am here, dear Vicky, I am here. <br /><br />While there may be a "progression of cancer and a change in treatment" that stings and brings<br />anxiety at a new turn in the road, the biggest progression I see is the depth and breadth and<br />bounty of who you are and how you are living each day. You know, more than most, that all shall be well. You are choosing JOY and LOVE and PEACE, no matter what.<br /><br />Love you, always, dear friend, to the moon and back.<br />Linda<br /><br />PS. I vote with Robbyn...Audrey. She was so spunky and darling and it fits you<br />and your new beautiful look.Linda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-4452775314007779402017-04-21T21:00:55.604-05:002017-04-21T21:00:55.604-05:00You have sweet friends because you ARE one.

So glad you were up for that on that day. And that Linda. Oh.My.Goodness. Her words here always bless me and I'm not even the tiniest bit surprised that she would send such a beautiful and loving care package. And even more friends who treasure you with actions in the form of gifts and meals and flowers. That photo montage is so meaningful and will bring so many continued joys. <br /><br />I'm glad you didn't feel any terrible physical effects but the hair falling out so fast must have been a hit. Good thing you had such a pretty wig to compliment that lovely face. I vote for "Audrey" in honor of Audrey Hepburn. She was classy, full of grace, had hair just that color, and was uber talented. That wig reminds me of her and you combined.<br /><br />Big hugs as you walk through the anniversary of your Mom's passing. You were so good to her and took such excellent care of her in spite of your own serious needs, and the demands of your poor body and its serious afflictions. No one could have done more, Vicky. Your grace to her and the love you showed undoubtedly blessed her beyond measure, especially in the eyes of our Heavenly Father. <br /><br />May this new medicine fight back - hard - and decimate the cancer while leaving your sweet self alone. I pray it is so. Love you, Vicky.Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.com
