About Me:

to Colon Cancer.
I also lost my Mom and Best Friend to Colon Cancer, Aug22,2002 I am now learning how to go on without them in my life. I am only 54, too young to lose my husband.
I belonged to the Cancer group for so long with my Mom and then my husband. Wonderful people and so much help through it all. Now I need my own peace of letting go.

Hi Brenda,I completely understand,sometimes I still think my mom will just call me and say ''whats goin on'',I miss that,its so hard to go on with things sometimes when you have such an emptyness in your heart and soul,I've gotten to the point where laughing doesn't bring me guilt,but after your done and the laughter goes away,I'm still left with that void,some days are better than others,but I still miss her everyday,take care,God bless,Love and prayers,Gina
Thank you so much Marion, Time to get in touch with some of the old friends I made all the journey.
The 28th Steve would of been 57, I am sure he will be having a wonderful time in his Heaven. Hopefully Mom will go have a drink with him. LOL
Have a great day,
Brenda
Sure--it's www.ACOR.org Suzanne keeps us on our toes--she writes so beautifully and says such profound things that we have to perk up and listen!
Sounds as if you have been really busy lately. It's good to see you trying new things and trying to get back to living, not just existing. That has to be the hardest thing--trying to rebuild your life with such a large part of it missing. Hugs, Marilon
Just wanted to say "hi!" I hope your move is going smoothly. Glad you enjoyed your class-it sounds very interesting. Congrats on the new home-the flowers sound lovely. You have an amazing talent! I'll be praying that you find work that you will enjoy. Please take care. Hope to see you soon!:~)
Thank you so much Gina, I just got back from Atlanta this evening. Iwas done there learning some new techniques. It was so incredible. I am self taught and this was the first class I ever took. I learned some incredible stuff from one of the Masters in the business. I got home to a new house My daughter and I are renting. She had some helped and moved today while I was gone. I still have so much at the other house, but at least all the furry kids are here adjusting. There are Iris blooming. It was bittersweet as that was Steve's favorite flower. I know he see them, but I went around the yard talking to him about them. I rented the house a month ago and didn't know there were all these flowers. It was exciting to see when I got here.
So now all the fun starts. I have company from Wisc coming on Thrus.
And need to go back to work at the grocery store and get out and market myself for work.
I hope you are doing good. I will talk to you around Mother's day, I know how hard it will be. Just know that she is there with you, always smiling and making sure you are good and good things will come your way. Whenever I find a penny (which is all the time) I know my Mom is telling me I am doing good.
Long story with the penny, I will have to tell you about it.
Have a good night.
Friends,
Brenda
