I hate it when I'm pissed... and tired... which is a bad combination.

thank you, ladies. i still hate cancer. i feel the need to hug hejeira too.

red, i pray that her stubborness will help her and that she lives at LEAST as long as your sister has.

I'm hugging you back- can you feel it?
 
I'm just hating the waiting. I don't see the surgeon until Wednesday and then we schedule the biospy. Master picked up the films for me and it was a bit perturbing to read the radiologist's report -"malignancy cannot be ruled out".
 
So, I did what any self-respecting woman would do--- SHOE THERAPY!! Got three new pairs of spectacular high heels. All on sale, too.

What Cancer Cannot Do.

Cancer is so limited. . .It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot quench the spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.

Though the physical body may be destroyed by disease, the spirit can remain triumphant. If disease has invaded your body, refuse to let it touch your spirit. Your body can be severely afflicted, and you may have a struggle, But if you keep trusting God's love, your spirit will remain strong. Why must I bear this pain? I cannot tell;
I only know my Lord does
all things well.

And so I trust in God, my all in all.
For He will bring me through, whatever befall.

Dunno if anyone wants to read this, but i found it inspiring.  It's a prayer.

i didn't get to see them, and you know ~blushes~  i'd be interested.

*winks* Soft...we have pictures, I am sorry you didn't get to see them in person.

Big hugs to everyone who is dealing with sickness and loss....you are all in my prayers as well.

soft....i read that at my Aunt's funeral.   Lovely of you to post it here.

i hate it that so many of us are dealing with illness whether our own, or that of loved ones.


but
 
i love it that we have a support system that crosses continents, color, culture, creed, chronology, currency, and consanguinity.

i love it that we are despite the odds, a family of sorts.
i love it that i can pray for hejira or Sappa's mom with the same amount of fervency as i pray for those with whom i share a bloodline.

i love knowing that GT, Gwyn, Red, everhope, soft, Cali, Hib, poen, and of course.... my  lushy, are my sisters in a way that means something to me.
i love it that caro is like a fairy godmother....Linaysha is my long lost, strong, black, Norwegian auntie....that sunshine and the not so bitchy GoddessD are fine dinner companions....that Kalon is a PIMP, in the good way. i love all of you i've met in person....

but

i also love knowing Asher will have his heart's desire Sunday night....that Wanders is a "groupie/"stalker of some Aussie band, and got the job she wanted after we all prayed for her...that bubbly christine loves gravy and pork rinds(though i find that a little disturbing, honestly).  i love knowing how strong holly is....that after loss, and through hard times, she and Mr.Jim and the LO are such a tight family....that sundowner is a big softie...and kyttyn's getting hitched, and sambas little one is hopeful, and before i forget anyone...i love sooo much about the P&RS family.  How did a bunch of "random stupids" become so near and dear to my heart?  i'll never know, but i am thankful for the place you all hold in it!

~weepy tulip
edited to add...one post puts you in the P&RS family btw....it's not a small or select group.  As Gwyn would say "We have better cookies"
*hugs*
