I've had little to no time to follow his journey. He's so enlightened (for lack of a better word) as are you :)<BR/><BR/>I know that's how Mom thinks of it too. It's a balance. <BR/><BR/>Oh and definitely get those bulbs ordered and plan your garden! You are living, so live! :) Mom is typically already out in the gardens by now. But we're going to hire a landscaper to do what she wants done. She can just point and direct! Bonus!! lol And I don't have to lift and move a hundred bags of dirt this year so .... personally, I'm allll for the landscaper :) <BR/><BR/>You are so right that this can be kept at bay. I think they give the worst case scenario to patients because that's all they know from historical data. But considering this is a rare cancer, they really don't know for sure right? We met a woman in our cancer clinic who is one year past her diagnosis. She stopped chemo before Christmas for kidney surgery. Her hair is all growing back. She's doing wonderful and looks great. She's back on chemo but feels better. And no new growth while she had to break from it for the surgery. So I do think this can be managed pretty well for a very long time. If not eradicated completely! <BR/><BR/>By the way, have you heard of Lee Valley? They have AWESOME gardening catalogues and all manner of gardening paraphernalia. Leevalley.com if you're interested and it's news to you. Although I have a feeling you already know about Lee Valley ;) <BR/><BR/>{{Hug}} I am so glad to see you in good spirits. You're always positive but this post really makes me feel like you're feeling and doing so much better. That is fantastic news!! :) I am thrilled for you!noonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818918783991488866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-85929595624363270242007-03-29T06:02:00.000-04:002007-03-29T06:02:00.000-04:00...to come to grips with the possibility of dying,......to come to grips with the possibility of dying, but to not giving up on living. That is a distinction with a very great difference! I thank you and Leroy for putting that into my head. I will hold on to it.<BR/>Yes indeed Spring is about to begin! My mother was an avid gardener. Alas, that gene was not passed on to me, but I love to remember HER excitement each year as she looked forward to having "dirt under her fingernails" again. Get ready to enjoy it Lynne!<BR/>Love,<BR/>Mary MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-69372743409798013762007-03-28T10:27:00.000-04:002007-03-28T10:27:00.000-04:00I am grateful you are still here, Lynne!

I think Leroy hit on something very important: understanding something and embracing something are two different things. Likewise, simply accepting that death is a part of life does not accelerate death. People too often go into the mode of "I don't even want to think about it" out of some superstition that thinking about something makes it happen (I am one of those people!).<BR/>I have a feeling this will be beautiful summer, so just enjoy!Elaine Pascalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096920589747157033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-15326567360502726412007-03-28T07:43:00.000-04:002007-03-28T07:43:00.000-04:00Isn't it a wonderful thing?

The mysteries of life just reinforce the limitations of our mere mortal ability to try to guess what lies or doesn't lie in our future!<BR/> How wonderful that you are realizing that nobody can predict your future...but rather you must just live in your present and know that you are being held in the palm of God's hand. <BR/>Enjoy this beautiful Spring and summer...wonderful testimony that you never know what miracles can happen when you believe!<BR/>Sending you lots of healing and loving thoughts. <BR/>CoriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32309235.post-8350723647596749512007-03-27T10:55:00.000-04:002007-03-27T10:55:00.000-04:00Way to go Lynne! 10 months is a good start to a m...Way to go Lynne! 10 months is a good start to a much longer time here.
