And the light.......The photos, Vicky....oh my gosh. And the light.... isn't it the light that always makes a difference to the picture? It's the same setting but it's the light we see it in that moves us or illuminates the beauty that was there but, without the right light we can't perceive it. I've decided that's what you are to us: perfect, crystalline, warm glowing light. We would look at your situation, or our own, and potentially see only the harsh. But your words, your perspective, and your heart cast a hue that changes the image. He is alive and well in you, Vicky, and we can see Him in your light. I would love a calendar featuring your perfect light-filled photos. If I can buy such a thing, let me know. I bet I'm not the only one who would love to have that.<br /><br />And to have that full-circle moment of watching your boys look up to Matt - the dearest of men - and then to see little ones looking up to, and loving, your boys. What a mother's heart moment indeed. <br /><br />I am sorry you are so weary and having such hard days, I pray that Dr. P comes up with solutions and that, even without insurance approval, maybe there will be a way for immunotherapy. Dear God, could you please clear the path and carve a trail through the wilderness? May it be so and may your symptoms and side effects ease, Honey. I'm truly sorry that you must endure these times. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your journey and may there be new hope on the horizon. Love you.<br />Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-32933528513809147312016-11-16T16:34:22.698-06:002016-11-16T16:34:22.698-06:00I pray that all your tests come out well!

So beautiful! I to heal my soul when I am out and about in Gods nature! Sweet Lady, I know I am not the only one who has noticed that your blog post's are further apart. I know this means that the fatigue and getting thru each day is 'harder' then it was. I love how Julie wrote rugged spirit! for it means; durable · sturdy · robust · strong · tough · resilient or rough · uneven · bumpy · rocky · stony · pitted. It describes you so well...and being of rugged spirit...that means your soul is all of the above. You are withstanding in many ways, what cancer is taking from you. I can only imagine as you have options, how your spirit may flounder knowing all to well the side affects... The plain truth is... these side affects just plain 'suck' and that yucky feeling is even worse then that! How courageous you are! What a example you are. I will be praying for you and sending positive 'vibes' your way. P.S I love love that the lil boys wanted one last hug from the big boys. Oh Vicky, it means you have amazing sons!!! and of course they are amazing! they have you and Rick as a example!

You are truly an inspiration to all of us, especially in these tough times, that hope carries us.

And your two special, handsome and wonderful sons are now "big guys." :) And those photographs...what a glorious fall, light-filled time you captured. Just seeing those gorgeous pictures felt like a mini-vacation for my spirit!<br /><br />Most of all, thank God for Dr. P. and for how tuned in he is to you. As you put it. "he reads me in that moment." I LOVE his reassurance that "we will get to the bottom of this!" I trust him, his words and that he is looking out for you, my precious friend. So glad he is in your corner!!<br /><br />I will be praying for you this Thursday, my dear friend, and if it crosses your heart, please pray<br />for Amy and sweet Jenna. This has been a hard, hard week, yet we are trusting that God is there in the midst of the hard.<br />Love you to the moon and back, Vicky Held Westra! <br />Linda<br />Linda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-34877959655249261172016-11-15T16:11:51.243-06:002016-11-15T16:11:51.243-06:00I will pray for you....
