I just got a post that a friend is not doing so well as she is in Geisinger that makes my problems sound like nothing and any one that complains about a little cold or whatever should be thankful as I am. I had a infection last year at this time and thankful for my son or I wouldn't be here to wake up this fine morning. Have to deal with cancer but also very thankful I seen the sunshine this morning Prayers for her and her family.

My Valentine's Day present to my hubby is to tell you how much you are appreciated and loved. I have had cancer for the last 6 years and you have been there right with me , doctors appointments and all . You have put up with my attitude and taking care of my every need.I love you with all my heart and more . Happy Valentines Day! Hugs and kisses

Come to the conclusion that I might not be able to walk down town any more unless I get all this damn fluid out of my lungs . Damn cancer . You will not keep me down.

These are the bunnies going in the baskets I will be putting together.Bunnies for all grandchildren! 

I t was a year ago at this time I came home from the nursing home learning to talk and walk all over again as well using my hands. I want to thank all the doctors at Geisinger even though they have attitudes there but they sure know there stuff. Now all I have to do is get rid of this damn cancer . As some of you would all say I am to damn mean and stubborn to leave this fine earth yet. Bless all you that pray for me.Thankk you to my wonderful husband for being there for the last 5 years. love you Rusty.

If you need a good laugh today here is on for you all. Most of my friends and family remember my faslodex shots that I got in the but , well they had stopped them and now started another shot for my bones because of cancer. I got my first shot today and stood up to pull my pants down and my nurse Diana said what are you doing this shot goes in the arm We all had a good laugh. I said well I was use to getting shots in the but. I love those guys at the cancer center . They are family.

I will never forget the smile that lit up her face when she saw her grandchildren especially the youngest who she had never seen in person before. She couldn't talk because of the tube but she mouthed "i'm so happy" to my stepdad. 

i'll never forget when my husband was sent overseas for a few months to Kuwait and I went to live with her for about a month with her oldest grandson Joey who was about 4. She used to walk a mile and half everyday and started me into exercise and walking with her everyday while i was there. She never seem to get tired and we would take turns pushing Joey in his stroller. She comforted me from missing my husband and since we lived in Wyoming at the time due to the military she and I enjoyed spending quality time together. 

Mom always had a positive outlook in life even when things looked bleak. No one carried the burden of cancer for 8 years like her. You would never know by hearing or seeing her what the battles she went through. Even in this last one she never gave up hope. She kept telling people " I'm going to live to be a 100!" I am trying to gather that strength and courage so I can move on as she would have wanted. She always hated to see me cry and others feel sorry for her. She always told me how proud of me she was for my accomplishments. I only wish I had told her more how proud I was to have her as a mother. 

If I have to carry this pain for the rest of my life I will for you mother because you meant so much to me and I hope you know how much I love you and how much I long to have you hold me one more time. I will never understand why you had to suffer the way you did or why God chose you to leave us. I am grateful you are free of pain and pray God will have mercy on me and your other loved ones with our pain so we can live but never forget you!!
