I know we connected on Facebook for your birthday but somehow I have missed your blog update postings. <br /><br />So grateful for each year you celebrate and looking forward to the big 5-oh! So incredibly wonderful to see those tall boys behind you lighting up brighter than those candles. And I just realized you and I share the same middle name. Grateful for your birthdays, Vicky. Praying for many, many more and the treatment/cure we all pray for for you and others we love so much.Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-21832503877965704072016-07-20T13:30:49.342-05:002016-07-20T13:30:49.342-05:00Ahhh- I always soak in you words.

So very precious even if we believe what we believe 'That were we go is is beyond our wordily imaginations, beyond our wordily expression... there is no greater love, no greater peace' It doesn't matter...because we love the here and now. We love this earthly journey...the hard, the good, the laughter the tears..those moments that make our hearts sore and those moments that bring us to our knee's.... but mostly we love the people and souls we know here..right here on this earthly journey." God was smart to give us a rope to tie us to the here and now...." or we may all want to run home!!? Vicky, I am so sorry for the loss of your Nancy. She must of been a remarkable women...because you were gifted with her middle name! I loved the pictures of 'lil Vicky' ..OH MY! were does ...time go? VICKY YOU ARE TIMELESS! YES YOU HEARD ME TIMELESS! I never shared but I felt since my mom passed away after just turning 71...and my real dad at only 58...well since my mom passed..I had time limits on me... my 'mortality' was starring me strait in the face. I didnt realize what a burden i carried around with me. Not until I released it a few weeks ago... Yes, I dont carry with me what you heard on your breast cancer journey...The utter awareness as you were given numbers and dates and years.... and you have passed those first dates numbers and years..so YES your mortality looks right back at you every day. Vicky you are 'TIMELESS' there is no set date...NONE! your gift to all of us, to all who meet you, to so many lives you touch is needed right here! may I say....YOU DONT LOOK 49!!! That is your real hair growing back..??? isnt it? and were is the grey???? and were are all the wrinkles? but its even more then the physical...you radiate even when you dont feel well. Next year I plan to send you some black balloons.....I am gonna help do your 50th up!!! do you realize that today as I write, you are already 2 days into your 50th year???! You are beautiful at 49! and you dont look your age, even though you have gone thru so much....WOW! Vicky, you are timeless..forever timeless... ' Mortality?' pffft.... you are here because you are needed right were you are....and because, well... your OUR Vicky! loved and cherished because you have helped us all..by just being you! Happy 49th beautiful!.... watch out 50.... I plan to do it up...
