dishes...LOL!! You know I have lived her a year and only used the
dishwasher 2 times.... yet, I do dishes 3-4 times a day.. boy, am I a fool
or what?/!! LOL!! Don't answer that...

I asked what type and he put his wife on and she said that she had just
gotten home and he seemed to be having a very bad day dealing with all of
this and thought about me and so they finally found my number and called..
I invited them over.

not totally clear on the details.. We all know what that is like... He
was diagnosed in November and this is a recurrence for him, but also
addional things going on...

hope, faith and love.... So much of what I heard myself saying is what I
have been so blessed to learn from you all and the sharing that we do here...

their faces and watch the color come back into them, the tension ease out
and the smiles replace the tears... They had just run out of gas and like
we all know.. a refill of love, hope and faith is very necessary to the
cancering journey..

ever questioned how much this journey has taught me.. I now know that it
has changed me so much more for the good...

again.. God gave me the blessing of bringing them to my door and a soft
heart to give all that I could. I will stay with them on this journey and
guide as much as I can.., but I must tell you that I got so much more than
I gave... That must be what is meant when it is said that what you give to
others, you will receive tenfold...

must say that if you have the chance to share with someone locally face to
face..... take it and look out! It is a discovery of its own..

richness to my soul... God Bless you all and so very much love.. Carla
