Thank yo for your support.
Comment from Kentucky Sweet Pea
Barbara, my dear, I had no idea. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I, too, as do most of us, come from cancer ridden families.
Your piece is perfect grammatically and says it all.
Grace & peace,
Penny

I am back from surgery, but I am under the impression I was ran over by a Mac truck, more than once. I am gradually recovering. I review a little, nap a little, and repeat the process.
Comment from Joan E.
Your know I am not a prose writer; so your let me start with your poem, which thrilled me. Your eight part declaration is very powerful. In your prose, I admired your description of how your stared cancer in the ear, and the "strength came to you." I salute your sharing your sense of irony and humor with us. If you have a moment, check your profile page for another note I wrote.
The fight is on and you are going to be victorious.
Many gentle hugs- Joan

Thank you for your kindness. It's been almost two days since my surgery. I feel better each day, but still feel like a mac truck hit me.

I am quite relied that you are feeling better already. The feeling of a collision with a Mac truck sounds normal--folks report that sense after a bout with the flu--and your "collision" was far more severe. Here's to your continued progress and rapid recovery. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and reassure your fans. Many more, gentle hugs- Joan

The emotional drive behind this story is empowering. The casual matter-of-fact that it is told in compliments this perfectly. It was a heartwarming read to listen to your support and struggle with cancer and your life.

Comment from DecrepitOldBag
I am so sorry, Barbara, for this dreadful thing you are battling. However, I know you will succeed. You'll battle and win. You're strong, much stronger than I could ever be. After all, I ran a mile yesterday rather than undergo a simple scan which 'might' have made me vomit! As you know, I'm not religious myself, although I admire faith in others. May your faith continue to see you through this. For my part, I am sending positve thoughts your way. I shall think of you often, dear lady. May your god walk ever with you.
Hugs

Comment from Spiritual Echo
Tomorrow.......
Sometimes I yearn for sleep while I toss and turn with all my corrosive thoughts. The what ifs, should haves and could haves notions invade my peace and then somewhere around 3:00 AM I dwell upon what peace really means.
I suppose it means never having to suffer.
There was a time when I wondered why God allowed size two natural blondes to wander around the earth, flashing their big blue eyes and not really feigning vulnerability, but none the less evoking heroes to rush to open a door for this fragile speciman. One day someone said to me "There are only so many worthy souls who will ever understand the lesson. You are one. The rest are skinny blondes."
That works for me.
I've lost friends, some to cancer, some through misfortune and bad choices, but every one who touched me still exists as you will forever in the hearts of your four sons and the children that will follow. Every time one of your granddaughters picks out a shade f pink for a dress or the paint on the wall, you will be remembered.
You will not die tomorrow. My crystal ball is very accurate, but as all people who face uncertainty, you also have a time for reflection and reconcilliation and that dear woman is a gift.
Spend it wisely and generously.

Comment from Helen Tan
Hi Barbara,
I made a note to check in on you before 16th September. I'm glad you have maintained a positive attitude. Many of us are here to support you. You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Here's a few great big bear hugs from Singapore and I hope to see you on the road to recovery soon.
I've been off FS as my dad suffered extreme high blood pressure and a stroke about 3 weeks back so I've been in and out of hospitals on a daily basis. Still, I wanted to pop in to let you know I'm thinking of you.
