The one of the snowy trees is incredible. I love it. And look at you with your big beautiful smile. Beautiful as ever. <br /><br />I am so sorry you have had to go through that pain but glad that you are feeling better. You are teaching us all to live in the moment regardless of the clouds and the unknown that hangs overhead. You put your worries on hold so you could spend it with those precious kids. You have taught me so much about embracing life and getting on with it. You are extremely resilient, authentic and so strong when you need to be too. I am praying that your next week goes smoothly until your appointment. I think of you very often and you are always in my prayers. And here is to taking a chance - let's make it a winning one with all our prayers. Big hugs and much love to you and all your boys. xx Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-21728970191665684582013-02-25T23:06:09.394-06:002013-02-25T23:06:09.394-06:00Dear Vicky, I can tell you put so much into your p...Dear Vicky, I can tell you put so much into your posts. This one brought us fully into your weekend, all the joy of it, and the pain of it too. I'm sad to know you were suffering. And we only hear a bit of it here. That you would have been kept from a hockey game says a lot. I am happy to hear it subsided...but it was hard to hear your guess as to what might have caused the pain. I marvel at how determined you are to embrace life every day that is offered. And like everyone else here, love that kid who led the way to the barrage of pink caps. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I am so blessed to call you friend. Thinking of you as you endure another round of hospital stuff. Hugs...Roxane B.

He is the best!!<br />And...thinking about the unknown since I read your last blog post, I've been kind of irritated with your good doctor. I know he's the best; I know. But, I'm still irritated with him. Just sayin'. I love you too much to think that you've been left wondering... <br />I'm so sorry to hear about the pain in your arm. I'm glad that you have the pain meds...even though I know that they make you feel yucky elsewhere; they do help with the pain. And, I'm glad to know that your arm is feeling better.<br />Is there some inanimate object I can just reach out and slug or hit right now? I'm feeling that. I'm sorry to vent to you, dear friend. You have enough on your plate. But, know that if fuming and fussing has helped in any way, you are covered. I have that covered, and then some!!<br /> And...you know that first and foremost, I pray for you and for your family. We've got the future covered because we know Who holds tomorrow. Yes, we do.

Something about that just reminds me that they are like outstretched arms lifted continuously in praise to their Creator.<br /><br />With regards to your swollen mom and the possibility of a cancerous lymph node in your arm, the words from "O God Our Help In AgesPast" came to mind immediately.<br /><br />O God our help in ages past <br />Our hope for years to come<br />Or shelter from the stormy blast<br />And our eternal home<br /><br />Under the shadow of Thy Throne<br />Still may we dwell secure<br />Sufficient is THINE ARM ALONE<br />And our defense is sure.<br /><br />He doesn't need two arms to carry you, Vicky. ONE is sufficient! I trust you will feel His strong arms holding you securely until March 5.
