Barb Hensongispsaca: I don't know how many of you remember my poem of Jasper Hill. That is the name I gave to my cancer so that I would feel more in control of the situation. Well, Jasper Hill has reared his ugly head again and I will be gone for a little while to get control of my life again. My love to all of you and my thanks for all you do to help me in my writing endeavor.
    mrsmajor: It seems life isn' t always the way we would like it to be...I do have some serious medical problems, which I deal with through the Grace of God....But just this week, I was told that I have breast cancer and will have to have surgery...My daughter just recovered from Breast cancer surgery too..I can only say what has been my support...Prayer...I know many don't believe in that, but God has allowed me to deal with a great deal...so I wish only the best for you...and I will Pray that you will be able to deal with the return of the Jasper Hill...I hope he leaves you alone, never to bother you again...A smile always helps me, and so I say to you, Smile as often as you can...be hopeful and God will be with you to see you through this too...Hugs! -
    Jannypan (Jan) : Dear Barb,
    I will keep you in my prayers. Jan -
    jlsavell: Barb,

    To you and Victoria. When faced with difficulties, we often find a certain strength we didn?t realize we had. Cancer is a diagnosis which frightens us all, but I truly believe it?s the power of the human spirit and will which demands we first accept the truth and circumstance, and then gather our determination to give it all we have to fight. My thoughts and energy of good will, courage, and healing are sent to you both.

    We live in such an-opportune age of astounding knowledge and understanding to aid us in such a journey should it knock on our doors. Please take care -
    karenina: Damn that Jasper Hill anyway! I don't know you, but I've faced three battles with cancer...each time with years of remission in between. They can carve me, chemo me, radiate me--but like you I am determined to take control of my journey and will fight as I know you will to live to fight another day! My healing prayers and good vibes are flowing to you... Give Jasper Hill hell!--Karenina -
    robyn corum: My love and prayers to you both. -

FanStory wrote to Barb Hensongispsaca: They Are My Tics finished third in the contest "Rhyme about yourself"


Barb Hensongispsaca: I just heard the bittersweet passing of 'country ranch writer's husband who has fought cancer for quite awhile. Prayers for her peace would be nice.
    damommy: Adding them both to my list. Thank you for telling us. -
    Ms. Snyder: The best way our community could help Country that I can think of at this point would be to support her book on Amazon, ?The Blue Store?. I know that any financial assistance would be something that she would never personally ask for: and Michael Cahill before he passed, was desperately trying to help her and her husband raise money. She is a good person. I know she has been through a lot. If you have the means to help, this would be a way to do so. Also maybe write a review after you read and get her book. Cheers, Fonda -
    Ideasaregems-Dawn: Same here, Barb -- I just learned, and I'm praying for her and her family. Thank you! -
    Teri7: prayers for her and her family!

Barb Hensongispsaca: Thank you, everyone, for your kind thoughts and prayers. I have felt your strength and I am very appreciative. You don't know what true friendship is until you witness what is in their hearts and thoughts. Jasper Hill and I are coexisting but someday I hope to move him out. Until then, I have to keep writing. Maybe only a few a month, but my thoughts need a release and my mind needs a place to put them.
    Brett Matthew West: Good to see you back! -
    sandramitchell: I'm so pleased you have your writing, Barb, it's a way of putting Jasper in his place - out of mind for a while. Keep it up, my friend. xxxx -
    krys123: Good luck and many blessings in all your endeavors but I want to congratulate you on your second place finish of the poem of the month
    Congratulations, Barb

Barb Hensongispsaca: I just wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and for those I did not respond to, I did not realize there was a limit on sending personal messages so I could not respond. The cats have given me my present of a clean house, no toilet paper spread to the door, no papers spread around and out of order, no nuggets left for me to step on, no cat toys in my path making me think I stepped on a tail, no dry cat food underfoot, no water trailing from the toilet from random thirst that the fountain did not satisfy.
It has been great.

    Abby Wilson-hand: WELL DONE -
    Barb Hensongispsaca: Thank you. Everything written was as it really happened. -


Barb Hensongispsaca: I was asked by a lot of followers about my piece 'Dear Daughter' as to the background. I watched as my youngest twin spoke this to his 3 month old daughter a week before he was killed. It was the most tender thing I had ever seen him do.
Thank you for asking.
    Ideasaregems-Dawn: Please remove your ONE-STAR review from my story, "Forever Love." -
    Ideasaregems-Dawn: How would you feel if I rated this poem ONE STAR, Barb? Please check your rating for my story, Forever Love - you had single-handedly bounced me off the front page with your ONE STAR rating of it. I answered you r review immediately too, so it's hard to imagine you clicked off site that quickly...? -
    Barb Hensongispsaca: I am so sorry, I feel your anger and I cant take back the damage I did to you. It was my fault as I know I did not check it before I hit the button. I did not see your messages till I got back on and for that I am also sorry. All I can do is ask you to forgive my stupidity. I am so sorry. -
    Ideasaregems-Dawn: Thank you for fixing it., Barb, and for being so gracious - yup, I was pretty upset, but not all because of your one-star meaning I wouldn't get the extra reviews. There's a long (real) story ABOUT this story...it couldn't have happened to a worse one. Seriously. I'll explain, but it has to be in private. Messages here are monitored. -


Barb Hensongispsaca: I apologize to anyone who got a four from me yesterday and today. I am sure I hit the 5, but 7 people questioned me and I changed the status. One I had to try three times before it changed. Tom said it does not happen but I know something did. Please always question me if I don't make suggestions for improvement, please.
    michaelcahill: Isn't anyone gonna say, "That's okay Dear Barb, no worries"? LOL!!!
    I've been looking at this all day with no one responding. HAHAHA!
    You're gonna give my girl a complex. No problem, Barb. We know you don't give fours on purpose even when we deserve them. :)) -
    Jannypan (Jan) : Thank you, Barb, for the heart-felt response. I appreciate it. Jan -
    Barb Hensongispsaca: thank you so much, I know what you are saying, but I felt so bad when the pieces I read were absolutely magnificient. I just hope everyone that happened to brought it to my attention. -
    robyn corum: Thanks, Barb - this just shows more of your good heart. Thanks, sweetie! -

Barb Hensongispsaca: If you have not checked out robyn corum's Critter poems, please do. They are a great learning tool for kids. My grandson thinks she is the best and he loves the challenge each time I read one to him. He has special needs and each one is a thrill for him.

Barb Hensongispsaca: A lone flower standing in the field, is truly never alone.
With the birds singing in the morning sunshine, to the twinkling stars at night, she has a grand audience.
If only a single drop of rain falls on her, she will blossom again and again.
