While I"m not much on the God thing, I am a big believer in the maintenance of and health that a positive outlook can achieve. I like the idea of documenting your "adventure." Just the idea that you're viewing this as an adventure is most likely a little more than most can fathom, but life can be, no, life should be, an adventure with all the peaks and valleys intact. I hope you will find strength and clarity to blog about and photograph this new adventure so we may all share what you see and experience. So that we too may learn and benefit from that experience. If I can make sense of prayer in any way, it rests in the knowledge that others are out there thinking about our best interests. Wishing us well. Hoping for good outcomes. Surely there's some solace in that. You may now add me to the mix. Be well, Laurie. Peace. Good Morning Laurie:

So when I heard what was happening with you, it deeply affected me. Even though we have worked together for a couple of yrs I know that we have not been that close, but I wanted to tell you that I have all the faith in the world that you will conquer this DX and will do it with your natural courage, gracefulness and humor. I know how hard it can be to ask for help. I do not do it well either ;) I know that you are worried about H. right now that you most likely want to protect her and that is normal. However, she is your daughter and she too will handle this with strength, grace and courage. I am here for you in any way that you need. I have been a nurse for a long time and have cared for many people with cancer, but when it is in your house and your life everyday..... you develop a new understanding of what having cancer truly means to the person and the family. I do not want to addd to your stress, by calling rihgt now I am here if you want to talk. I am here if you need rides to TX I am here for what ever I can do to make this easier. I am here to help.. You are in my thoughts Patti M Laurie,

Just wanted you to know you are in my prayers. Your attitude toward life will aid you in the pathway to healing. And a little sarcasm certainly adds spice along the way! You go girl! Patty Laurie–

I know how difficult it will be bor you to ask for help. You will probably need someone to take you to chemo, radiation, etc. I want to be able to help you whenever and wherever possible. You know that it's not an imposition to me to travel around so coming up to Hallowell to pick you up wouldn't bother me. Once you learn your schedule for tx, we can work out a schedule for who is going to take you each time. We all want to be part of your healing. Love, Janet Laurie, Im here for you.

I just read your blog while working night shift and haven't been able to stop crying for a about 10 minutes now. Hopefully the phone doesn't ring! I have never been very good at expressing myself but want you to know that I really do care about you and think of you often. Your words move me.

How is H. holding up? I'll bet you're worried about her more than yourself. Call my cell if you need me, the number hasn't changed since you were in Huntington.
