RA, I'm so sorry to hear about what you are going through. From your past posts, you've gone through so much already. I always look for miracles, you certainly deserve one. My Heart is with you.

But yeah Carol, I have thought about it and we probably should attempt it, I'm thinking that's pretty obvious at this point. You and he may get a laugh out of this but it's actually a bit intimidating for me. When that poor young man took his own life it was young man to young man, I see him a little differently, but we will go for it and maybe get grandpa to paint some signs. My family does seem to have a lot of generating power when it comes to these signs and who knows what we might be able to do eh?

Don't be intimidated! You'll be just as young the moment you get there. But I know what you mean. Meeting Mikey would be almost like meeting a celebrity in a way.

Thank you mokandi, I appreciate your kind thoughts. I just did some reading on CLL I understand if you don't want to share anymore with us, but it does seem to have some pretty cut and dry parameters for helping the patient determine whether or not to treat. I know myself and others woulde be interested in learning how you came to your current decision.

Thank you Vic. My experiences were all spread out pretty good. It's been 17 years since the earth bound peaked. A few years dealing with that. Alcoholism, so many people drink too much that was just unfortunate. I've had a lot of slack in my life and knew that working hard wasn't what I wanted to do. Found ways to work smart instead of hard, but there were definitely some tough times and weird experiences. I will except a label of somewhat unique when compared to many folks, most people have trouble understanding what I'm talking about. I take a lot back with me to the afterlife. I've had my share of miracles and few regrets. I didn't mind being unique if it meant not being ordinary.

I replied to your PM. Thanks for your thoughful words.

Dear beloved friend, thank you for sharing your story here so beautifully! There is so much for all of us to learn from your life story, which - despite whatever way you may have felt about it as you were living it - is turning out to be a perfect whole. In retrospect, it is so easy to see how all the trials and setbacks furthered your personal growth, and how your learning to love and forgive more completely has brought you to a new level of understanding and peace as you approach this journey's end. And joy! Dear friends, one thing that shines in all my communications with our beloved Awakening is the joy that she is feeling now in even small things, the peaceful fun (is that the right term?) that she expresses in the details of her life. Yes, she is restricted now, and in some pain, and wondering where the cancer will strike next. None of that is fun. But just as sharpening a pencil lets you write a finer line, so limiting the life of someone who has learned and grown as much as our Awakening has in this lifetime is giving her wisdom and insights now that likely could not have been possible for her otherwise. Dear friends, this is what our lives here are for! Awakening's is a lifeplan being beautifully lived, no matter how it may seem to those around her who lack her level of understanding. Each of us is too close to our own lives to see all the troubles and travails as lessons and to realize that they likely were deliberately planned, and then to wrap all the lessons up and see our lives in retrospect as a perfect package. I see now that a lingering illness does give us that opportunity, which otherwise would need to happen after our deaths. In this, as in so much else, our beloved Awakening's life has been so perfectly planned!

Um, well, but of course she is dying, dear beautiful PoeticBlue... and that isn't such great news in most venues ;-). But here - as this thread wonderfully illustrates - we see the natural ending to a life well lived as in many ways a happy event. When I asked our beloved Awakening to come back and tell her story here, perhaps I didn't fully appreciate how beautifully she was going to do that. Thank you again, our much-beloved dear Awakening. You have given us a treasure!

I obviously didnt read the whole thread. All I read was that she has returned from being away. Thats wat I meant by great news. I try not to immerse myself here as much anymore.
