We have led parallel lives in many ways - except that I have been terribly, terribly ill and we were all surprised to see my 45th year. I'm better now - just - and hanging on, but unable to go out with a wonky immune system and all. Five months of immunoglobulin infusions have helped - but my numbers are still far too low for anything much outside our house. <br /><br />Enough of that. I still smile. <br /><br />You will laugh, though!:<br /><br />I was looking for something on the hymn "How Can I Keep From Singing?" and Google brought me back to you, to 2004, and a lifetime ago. To a wee Warrior who wasn't even 15 pounds yet, through to a Wren with NED. I was more happy to see those braids than I can possibly tell you. And your stole. Finally! <br /><br />I cannot tell you how VERY happy I am for you all, and for such a positive outcome all the way around. Even though you have not been on this laptop before until now, you have been on all the others, and the desktops before that, and in fierce dream-time here within these four walls (all-too-close four walls some days! And, I'll bet you can relate to hating surgical masks all the time when encountering a new exposure!). <br /><br />But, I do want to say something to you, if only in benediction (we never know how long it will be before - if? - our paths will cross... funny life, this): <br /><br />Fly High, Little Wren. And you, too, Lizard Eater. You never know when someone who loves you holds you in her heart. <br /><br />Love,<br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587459.post-35237433226873074902010-03-21T23:11:18.347-05:002010-03-21T23:11:18.347-05:00Just passing through on another journey and am str...Just passing through on another journey and am struck by your words, images and your thoughts.<br /><br />Suffering, in all its manifestations, has both a dark, sad side and, remarkably, a bright side. It allows us to see the world in another light and makes us appreciate those things we often take for granted. <br /><br />I am often reminded of that remarkable scene in Spielberg's AI where the little boy just wants one perfect day with his mom. <br /><br />In the end can anyone really ask for anything more than to spend just one perfect day with the ones they love. <br /><br />God bless and good luck on your journey ...<br /><br />GeorgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
