I have thought long & hard on this one, after my initial post

I believe WE KEEP COMING HERE.........

Because we have created common BONDS that tie us together, which makes us STRONGER, than left alone
When one of us HAPPY..... we all CELEBRATE & it sparks a renewal of HOPE, perhaps MIRACLES among the entire tribe or family we have grown to be
When one of us HURTING or GRAVELY ILL.......... we CIRCLE them & EMBRACE them with LOVE until the ANGELS take over for us
Then with renewed energy, filled with OUR LOVE...... they return to WATCH OVER US

Simplistic maybe.... but it gets me through these very tough times
Much love,
Vicki

I've been coming here now since May '08. I'd finished chemo and was looking for information on my neuropathy . i've still got it, I'm used to it and my life has moved on. But in an act of affirmation, I still return. I don't seek information anymore and I have little knowledge to share. I see the names of people who have passed and many of them I don't recognize but there are two that left me gutted. Pat Steer ( Gaelen ) who I thought was indestructable and aussielones. Ilona was such an exuberant young person . On her Facebook page was a photo of her and her father sitting on the verandah. She was beaming and he already had the look of inconsolable desolation. It must be so awful for a parent to bury a child. It's an image that will never leave me. And yet there are those of us who still survive.
