So, so good to hear from a very dear friend, 3M! My families thoughts and prayers are with ya every single day, and do not worry yourself one bit about not being able to answer me! I know how pain can keep you off the computer, so relax and get well!' Very, very good to see ya back on the 'Bag, for however briefly! GET WELL M&M! We miss ya!

Yes, I did it. 3 years ago I was so ill and so tired and knew that they were worried that I wouldn't make it through the night...I just wanted to go to sleep. I really didn't care if I was going to wake up or not..but I woke up the next morning!..not healed/but not dead...You are sounding so much better than you did!!

It's so very good to see you on AB. You've been missed. You've been talked about. You've been reported about. You've been thought of. You've been prayed for. Thank you for sharing what you are experiencing. It is inspiring.

You are one of a kind M Moon! No, I don't think I am prepared to face it. Welcome back and it is great to see you here! {{{Hugs}}}

Hey you! I missed you! No, I am not even a little prepared to deal.

Hi M Moon! So glad you were able to stop by. You've been missed! No I am not prepared. We somehow think we will live forever until something smacks us in the face like a serious illness or a close call of some kind. Hugs

Even though I care for those who are dying I am not prepared at all for my own death. I see those who are dying and everyone one of them have a peaceful sense about them and aren't afraid. I hope I will be just like that but I really don't know. So very happy to see you and thank you for all you've done for me:))))

MOONIE!!!! So glad to hear from you! It may be a long journey, but you'll get there. I don't think virtually anyone can be ready for that, any more for how you feel when a loved one dies.

Oh my beloved friends: I am NOT back on AB ... yet! Being 'on' the computer just is way, way too exhausting for me (still). So, I request IF you wish to contact me, send me an e-mail (in my profile) and I will respond with a longhand note, card and/or letter. I am checking e-mail about once a week. Frankly, I have literally rediscovered that literally writing in longhand allows me to remain quiet and even able to listen to my breathing! (No small task, as you can perhaps imagine, since I am re-learning how to do that!)   Personally writing to a person in longhand IS really, really different than 'community' missives. Plus, each note or letter is like a song with its own tune, directed to the person with whom you are communicating! Very, very interesting but more? WONDERFUL!   Its been fun to draw ON the envelopes or add a piece of my art ... well, it just makes me feel ... mmmm ... it makes me feel like i DO have 'purpose.' This last, a little something 'taken away' for now as ALL my physical energy is going into being well, which means there just isn't much leftover my my wee-brain! HA!   It will be good to share what this has been like with you all ... what an AMAZING journey, to say the least. I can only hope and pray that in some small way, this experience (shared) will assist each of you in and with whatever life throws your way.   FOREVER I am and will be here for each of you! M

I'm having a busy day at work and dont have alot of time to ponder your thoughtful question...I just wanted to say,,,,,, hello! good to see you!
