We continue to stand alongside you, looking you right in the eye and lifting you up to God. As always my prayer for you - that in quietness and trust you find strength. You are a beautiful woman and I pray I'm half the mother you are.

We've been working this summer on rearranging our rooms so that I can move my computer and writing desk to Colton's now empty bed room (he moved downstairs.) The quiet would perhaps help me focus more easily and I could be a bit more punctual with posting- I especially do not want to leave you all worrying about anything. Amen to your beautiful faith filled words. Love you right back dear friend!

Every life touched by YOU. Every fervent heart....that reaches out...to beautiful you. I can only imagine what it is like to face every hurdle. what it is like to know that to fight, you will feel nausea and sick. That "your new normal" was far from what normal is. But I can tell you this. Your New normal makes us all embrace life more. Makes us all reach higher, makes us all look inward to what is important and real. You teach us... 'HOW TO BE' in our moments..just as we are. Fear not! God has got this! You are needed right here. In that shinning example...that makes us all wish we could be 'more like'. That gift is a constant an amazing thing that is so needed. Your Journey teaches us how to live all our obstacles and find the good and be at peace in our now's. Your journey of 'living with' is so needed. because you do it with such honesty, reality, grace, humility,...and yet...such victory! All shall be well! I just so wish, I could take all the sick feelings and side affects and fatigue away...I so wish....! and so I will keep praying for you, the boys your superman and all who love you. Oh and that would be me to... for I love you dearly!

You are never far from my thoughts and prayers. When you haven't posted in awhile, I worry. When you do, I thank God. Reading your words tonight, I felt touched by how strong and blessed you are. You have fought so hard these past 5 years and continue to do so. You are blessed by a sincere and caring doctor and a family that loves you unconditionally. I know these next 9 weeks will be rough but you are surrounded with friends who are lifting you up to God and family who are by your side holding you in love. The Lord will give you just what you need when you need it.<br /><br />Love you sweet friend,<br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16947736452675597121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-12677655711997433292016-09-03T13:25:29.795-05:002016-09-03T13:25:29.795-05:00Sound advice, Kathy- love that- throwing the net a...Sound advice, Kathy- love that- throwing the net and trusting- Amen.

I feel in my heart how hard this visit was and the pain of seeing those scans. I wish I could have been there to hold your hand, make some tea, take a breath together and clean right along with you. I know so well that need to clean and organize those things in front of us...so wanting to control something in our lives. I so wish there was a cleanser to get rid of this cancer.<br /><br />What I know for sure in times that are this hard... is that God is there in the midst, in the tears, in the fear. What I know for sure is that I so trust Dr. P to be on top of what do we do next. He is not giving up this fight, my dear soul sis, and neither are we. What I know for sure in this hard moment is that all of us who love you so will be praying 24/7 that this new approach works like it did before. <br /><br />I am on this old truck with you, sweet Vicky, through every twist and turn. NO MATTER WHAT!!<br />Love you to the moon and back!!<br />Linda<br /><br />Linda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-56473511989892564512016-09-02T16:10:05.677-05:002016-09-02T16:10:05.677-05:00What can I possibly say to add to your exquisite w...What can I possibly say to add to your exquisite words? So many times while I read this, I felt it with you. Your writing is an emotional, rich, deep experience. <br /><br />Each time, when you praised and re-centered yourself on Him, you drew me closer to Him. Oh, and the light--the glorious light in your pictures. <br /><br />You write and live with all your heart.
