Lyra, it was so wonderful 'chattering' with you today. Just hearing your voice was inspiration. I have a call into my daughter plus sent her an email, so hopefully I will hear from her in a day or two. And hopefully she can offer some advice. There is no need to say thank you. We are all here for you and we will continue to pray. There is might and force when large numbers of people gather in prayer and storm the Heavens. Love you, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Lyra, I have not known your terror. But I have known pain and there is, I'm guessing, a similarity. Dear friend know that words don't have to be adequate to express your gratitude. And if it helps they are not adequate to express our concern for you either. But somehow, here, through words we convey even more than what we say. The synergy of this circle of friends. And now in your time of need...we place you in the middle of that circle. Bless you. And may you draw the necessary strength and courage from this circle and may you find peace in doing so. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

The circle only widens. All we can do is "be here" and "be there"... but just know, we are, ever widening, ever enfolding.... |

Nancy... thanks so much for those very sweet words... I can't figure out right now, whether I am crying because I am touched by all of the wonderful prayers being said for me, or because I am literally scared to death of this thing ![]() Juanita... thanks so much for all of those prayers... you know how much they mean to me. I am also glad that we finally got together again on the phone ![]() Noah... thanks so much for the wonderful angel hugs... you have a beautiful spirit ![]() Larry... Yes, you have been through so much also... Please take care of your health right now, because I believe that this is what led to my cancer. This is a terror I have never felt before... There are absolutely no treatments for this disease and if I survive, I know that it will be only because of the prayers of all of my friends ![]() Ethel... thanks so much for your prayers and for joining our wonderful family ![]() Lyra |

Lyra~ Dear friend a few months ago I never even knew you existed, then I happen to come to these pages of blue and was lucky enough to read some of your poems and make a new friend in you. My life has been made better by you and all I can say is thanks for sharing your life with me and may God bless you and comfort you for the rest of your days...Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (10-23-2002 11:50 PM).] |
