Its so therapeutic for me to be able to just "release" it here and then I breathe deep and go on. The icing on the cake is all of you so faithfully and so supportively showing up here honoring me with such kind and thoughtful reflections. I will have to give that some thought about the video- you never know :)Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-53388194011431944552013-06-18T19:29:41.310-05:002013-06-18T19:29:41.310-05:00Oh Kelly- such kind and generous words- I can'...Oh Kelly- such kind and generous words- I can't tell you how good it does my heart to see you here!

What a cute shoulder squinch and beautiful smile. I loved seeing all the pictures and your heart showing through each one. How tired you must be and yet you keep on giving to US. Thank you for posting the video. It's like a little face-to-face visit with you. I'd love to see more. Maybe just you outside shooting your pictures, or poking around in your garden and telling us about your favorite plants. When you're feeling up to it I know we'd all love it, sweet girl. Bet I can think of a little guy who'd be glad to hold the camera while you talk to us. :)Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-28236044353329326622013-06-14T16:56:27.233-05:002013-06-14T16:56:27.233-05:00Your boundless goodness just reaches out to each o...Your boundless goodness just reaches out to each of us so fully.<br /><br />Vicky, please know that I am so inspired by you.septembermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01570525910483384484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-89068126008722439402013-06-14T09:26:30.414-05:002013-06-14T09:26:30.414-05:00How can we love a person we've never met and w...How can we love a person we've never met and whom we correspond with infrequently, as if they were a part of our family? I don't know the answer but I feel that way about you. God has placed you deep within my heart and it is incredible how often you pop into my thoughts. I care so deeply about how you are doing---but seldom let you know (which is awful of me). I love how God has surrounded you with so many kind & caring people. <br /><br />Hugs dear Vicky---wish I could give you one in person.<br />TeresaLTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726146878020199262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-31632829425378084832013-06-13T14:45:19.056-05:002013-06-13T14:45:19.056-05:00Aha!

This is what is on the plaque above the bell:<br /><br />"Ring this bell<br />Three times well<br />Its toll to clearly say<br /><br />My treatment's done<br />This course is run<br />And I am on my way!<br /><br /><br />Stage IV sort of indicates treatment may never be done- so it was a huge thrill to get asked to ring the bell.
