Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Lin, If you must know the truth, I think my sister sent it because she just found out that one of her dear friends has cancer. She has been fighting and has a great attitude. She also has three small children and only been married for four years. She was my brotherinlaws secretary. Any how my sister brought her to the doctors the other day and found out that the cancer has spread to three other places. I think this has my sister thinking a lot. I feel awful about her friend, but sad that something like this has to bring my sister to me!!!! I just hope that my sisters friend Marlo makes it through this awful fight and that Kellie can be strong and supportive for her!!! Take Care My Friend and Thankyou for your thoughts!!! LOL!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Dawn, It is sad that sometimes it takes another tragedy for some people, to learn to appreciate someone else's struggles. I hope your sister continues to become closer to you and that she will be a great support to her friend. Lin -- Re: THIS IS A MUST READ!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 This is a pretty one. It reminds me of the new Country Song that's out: Live like You were Dying Its a really good song......those of you who listen to Country knows the song I'm talking about....

This is beautiful and wanted to share with all of you, especially with what has been going on with me!!!! Please enjoy and understand as much as I have! With Love and Understanding! Dawn IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER-by Emma Bombeck (written after she found out she was dying of cancer) I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime. Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle. When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's." More 'I'm sorry's." But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute....look at it and really see it.. live it. and never give it back. Stop sweating the small stuff. Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. Let's think about what God HAS blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally. I hope you all have a blessed day.
