So many people have expressed that my children will be sorry, but the thing is I don't want them to have regret. I want them to have happy and peaceful lives. The idea of them being regretful breaks my heart, I just love them so much.<br /><br />I am so grateful for everyone's warmth and kindness. You are all in my prayers.<br /><br />Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-76581125993352856342014-04-21T15:23:12.316-04:002014-04-21T15:23:12.316-04:00Dear Marie, I am sorry to hear of your ongoing hea...Dear Marie, I am sorry to hear of your ongoing health issues and it hurts my heart to hear that your options continue to decline. <br /><br />As for your children, a good friend of mine also, was estranged from two of her children last year. It caused her a great deal of pain as well. When she passed away in September there were many, MANY people that were left missing her and loving her. Her children had it terribly wrong. <br /><br />I don't know the reasons your children feel compelled to add additional pain at this junction of your life, but I have to think that at some point they will "wake up" and see all the wonderful things that you were part of and whatever slights they feel are minor in comparison. <br /><br />Cperzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062444081488414888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-56832409107621856382014-04-20T16:25:27.638-04:002014-04-20T16:25:27.638-04:00I am so sad for you, Marie:( But I want you to kno...I am so sad for you, Marie:( But I want you to know that your courage, resilience and wonderful sense of humour has been such an inspiration to me.

From the first time I read your blog, which ironically was an out of character post about the loss of your sister in law,I was touched by your enormous capacity for compassion and empathy. I am so honored to know you and so grateful you are part of my life, despite the distance. God bless you. xoxoMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-60135787358981720872014-04-20T07:05:26.708-04:002014-04-20T07:05:26.708-04:00Dear Marie,

Thank you all so much for your affirmation and love.<br /><br />Anne: Yep, living would be the best revenge, wouldn’t it? Lol But I don’t want revenge, I want peace of mind and hearts, I want quality of life for all my loved ones, especially my children. It is what I pray for constantly.<br />Oh Anne, if only we DID rule the world!!<br /><br /><br />Muffie: You sweet girl, I am so sorry, I did not mean to make you cry, that is what I have been doing. Thursday was Ryan’s birthday and I renamed it – it was not Thursday, it was Cryday, because that was all I did all day. And ever day since because I still cannot believe I have lost my best friend.<br /><br />Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers. It is the only thing that is holding me up.<br /><br />Patti-cake - Oh, I miss you so much!! I am so lucky to know you. Thank you for your fairness and love.<br /><br />Hank - These are powerful words from someone who has known me for 55 years! I love you Superman.<br /><br />Patty - Thank you, my Jersey Girl/Montana friend. You always boost my spirits. You are a wonderful person.

I've seen you when you are happy, and I've seen you when you are sad and at a very low point. I've seen how you handle yourself when you are under attack by people. <br /><br />None of us are perfect - but I see nothing in you that doesn't exist in all of us. Meaning, we all have strengths and weaknesses. Even when I've seen you at your worst, I have seen NOTHING that looks like evil to me. <br /><br />I see a woman who is doing the best she can with the hand she has been dealt. <br /><br />I think you're awesome, and I'm proud you are my friend.

I don't understand your children's attitudes, and I pray they won't regret their actions when it's too late. As for your health problems, I also pray that something will appear which will banish the cancer and give you strength. When I feel as if I have nothing else to offer, I must turn to my God and lay the requests there. I pray for you during this holiest time of the year, and I know you are in the thoughts and prayers of many others. be well, dear Marie.Muffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-14063376885304944912014-04-17T08:31:57.643-04:002014-04-17T08:31:57.643-04:00Amen.

We've already talked about the situation with your family and you know what I think. <br /><br />I am so sorry to hear the news about the failure of the chemo. You are always in my prayers. I hope the hospice evaluation goes well and you are given comfort and pain relief. I have heard of people who go on hospice and then are taken off because they do so well. Wouldn't THAT piss off some people!<br /><br />Love you Marie. We'll have another summit, soon. If only WE ran the world, right?!Shorespinnernoreply@blogger.com
