How it turns people's life upside down


To live each day like it is truly the gift that it is

No match found. All my children tested immediately after diagnosis. They are all in the Natl Bone Marrow Registry for being a possible match for another person in need

I so appreciate your kind words of encouragement. That’s exactly what I am in need of & it gave me an extra boost of sunshine to my morning
I have a magnet on my fridge door that was actually a quote from Winston Churchill that is simple but makes a big statement,”NEVER, EVER,EVER GIVE UP”. Every morning when I get my am juice, no matter what kind of night I had, it always sets the tone for my morning. I also starting reading once again, “The Purpose Driven Life”. That has been one of the most helpful books for me. I just donated more than 50 books related to “A New Diagnosis” to “Talking to your Children”, to “Miracles”. Everyone helped me in different ways and The Wellness Community has a library for their Cancer Patients & family members and they have been so wonderful, understanding & compassionate not only to myself but my daughter goes for the YOGA and if there is a class that interests her she will sign up for that as well. All of this is Free of charge which is amazing. Ironically,it’s about 1 mile from where she lives and 1 hour from me. Well, we will continue drinking that medicinal lemonade. Be Well, I look forward to hearing from you again. Patty

I’d love to have that magnet for my fridge! I also want to read that book, The Purpose Driven Life. That will be on my Christmas list this year.

How are you doing with the isolation? Hope you are feeling well and not too bored.

Take care and keep up the good ‘tude!

Teresa
