But if you are going to be transparent then the least I can do is let you know that each and every time you post you change me for the better. Tears are going to be a part of this, you and I both know that. So, let me just say I crazy love you though we haven't met personally, which is why being sisters in Christ is so awesome. It's all about Jesus and loving unconditionally which you do so well sweet Vicky. I'll keep whispering your name to the One.<br />Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387707528926322594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-4570269000135463572013-09-02T21:51:15.336-05:002013-09-02T21:51:15.336-05:00I so love seeing you here Jenny- makes me smile :)...I so love seeing you here Jenny- makes me smile :) Thank you so much for your prayers- I do think I will eventually grown accustomed to the Tykerb and hopefully can remain on it for a long time to come.

I have to say it doesn't bother me in the least when people ask me how I am - I always feel like they ask because they care. This is just one of those phases where I just haven't been able to answer with the usual "I'm fine" and usually I really am. Thinking of YOU tomorrow as we head into the new school year.

Hannah and I just got back tonight and I had to check on you. This was a hard post. You are facing so much. I don't want it to be so and I also want you to have a special place that feels safe and restful while you feel so poorly on the Tykerb. Praying for you tonight as I head to bed and asking God to make a way in so many DIFFERENT ways.

This was not what I was expecting to read and yet reading all the posts together I could see it...just not wanting to at all. The many hard days you have had in the last few weeks make me weep and yet I think, if I have read you right through the miles and through the year or so I have been reading your blog, you would count it all joy and see the goodness of God in each circumstance. I pray peace for you these hard days and that they would become days of ease, and peace and healing. Praying your spirit is fed by many who love you and are grateful for your honest, sweet heart. We are blessed by you. I hope in some small way we can bless you as well. Much love, many hugs.

I have had it here and ready to mail, and have put it off. Monday, there is no mail, so it will be going to her on Tuesday.

Sharing your vulnerability with us. Yes it is hard to read, but if you must go through this, then I choose to honor you by reading the good, the bad and the ugly. Daily I think of you sweet Vicky, daily I pray for you that God gives you relief of pain, discomfort and anxiety. Hope lives. <br />I enjoy the stories of your darling sons, seeing your beautiful photos, reading of such great friends and the fabulous support they offer,,,, but I would never want you not to be real with all us here, who have grown to love and care for you as a sister, niece, daughter or friend.<br />Janayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094613441023876132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-25257301142998036542013-09-01T13:03:38.864-05:002013-09-01T13:03:38.864-05:00I realize how hard it must be to respond the the q...I realize how hard it must be to respond the the question, "How are you feeling?" In fact, I think that's what I said to you last week when I saw you! As a cancer survivor, I realize that it is often a very difficult question to respond to! Thank you for your very brave and honest words about exactly how you are feeling, and what you are going through. That helps me know how to pray for you.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you will be meeting with Pastor Mary. I love listening to her voice and her words- I find them very calming and reassuring.<br /><br />I will be praying for better days, and for peace and healing.
