Sweet, you can call here for advice, and maybe just reassurance. Maybe he is getting worse due to some underlying pathology.

Please say a prayer for a friend I have called my cousin since we're 4 years old
She was visiting her son and family in Hawaii
She was snorkeling and had some kind of freak accident from what her son said
Anyhow, she's been in ICU for a couple days now
Her son says the doc thinks she'll be breathing on her own by the weekend
I'm praying hard for her total recovery

Me, as always, keeping faith, hope and prayers within our circle of prayer

I light these candles today.. not so much that we find our way in the darkness.. however, moreso that we become more mindful of each other. We all come from different backgrounds, different experiences... different.. yet.. we are also kindred. More than likely.. any given person you may strike up a conversation with.. has gone through something you have as well. Should we not be more mindful of this? That when ... we engage... to try to understand where that person has been? You do not have to "know"... yet.. we can try.. to understand. Let these candles.. serve as a starting point.. a perpetual burning.. of striving and trying to be more mindful and understanding.

Sharing a Post made in the 'Listening to Each Other' thread.



We are strong, my Sisters and I are.


We don't break easily.
We hold face in the moments of tragic and dire.

Today, I'm gonna break a little in this
here thread and then go about my afternoon.
:tea:

I'm left wondering how it is that a child that has fought hard for 27 years and
through 3 heart transplants has now been hit with another devastation. The
Cancer they removed from her lip began to physically grow again covering
her right upper lip area/face. Yesterday they began surgery to remove all the
Cancer. I have not seen her yet, but my sister says...they removed a golf
ball sized piece of her face. And half of her lip. Today they will attempt
to reconstruct. This kid must have the strength of all of us combined to go
through all the shit she has gone through and still fight her way back.

It is disheartening to believe that a Divine Intervention of Christmas Day
that brought her a new heart for the third time and saved her life has
been attacked by Cancer. It gives me pause, like so many other young
folks who are taken to task by Life ~ that such a Lion Heart would be
handed yet one more battle that would leave her physically
marred and emotionally scarred.

I'm gonna say something that I usually do not.

It's Not Fair.

Ok, thanks for listening.

:daywalker:



...the update ~ I went across the street today to find her sitting at
her computer, munching on the bag of Bugles I brought her last week.
They removed all of the Cancer this time. They had to make a huge
hole in her face to do so. They also had to remove a part of her upper
lip. The recontruction ~ they pulled her face forward on the right, sliced her
from the corner of her eye to down below the chin area, borrow skin from
her collar bone area and patched the hole that was now back by her ear
after the pulling the rest forward. I have to say, they did a fabulous job.
She's all swollen in her face, so I called her Hootie (and the blowfish).
It hurt her to laugh, but she did it anyway.
:heartbeat:

:rose:
That's all for now, got folks coming by later...just wanted to give
Thanks in here for all the combined MoJo.

Love n Koolaid

From Diva's I light mine
For DW siter and family
may health be restored and her courage remain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For today I remind myself
Without healing there is no Peace
Without Peace there is no hope
Without hope we lose our faith
Leaving light always for faith.

Not long ago I lost my temper, and fired back
it's never easy when you feel backed into a corner and life is already chaotic with no end in sight.
Now I remain silent for the most part keeping to myself.
My partner says when in doubt walk away, words are just that let them roll to ground.
Sometimes that's easier said than done and faith begins to waver.
It's why I keep that flicker glowing in hopes faith will remain.

I light a candle for nurses, specifically Hospice nurses, from RN to CNA. May the light and energy give them strength to continue such a difficult job they do so well.

I light one for thanks, for my mom. She was a good heart, a good soul, and an imperfect being worth knowing.


And, I light one for me. Needing the extra light as I navigate through grief, "kid hurts", and things unresolved.

Glacier took his final journey 2 days ago.
He was trying to get a drink and fell into a rapid river.
Cody jumped in to save him and almost lost his life as well.
My daughter was on the side trying to get Cody out and his roomate jumped in to save Cody. He is bruised and sore but he made it.

Glacier and Bella were both save animals that Cody adopted. Bella tried to jump in to save him as well but my daughter stopped her.

I am asking for candles and prayers to help them all heal and to help them through the grieving process.

Please light a candle for my almost 14 yr old dog. I have scheduled the dreaded vet appt for friday (tomorrow) for her journey on to Rainbow Bridge. She has traveled with me from east coast to west coast (USA) to Spain to live. She can no longer take the long walks to the beach of which she adored. Her spine has fused and her nerves have seized up. Please send her off with an enormous energy of love. The kind of love that she has given to me unconditionally for all these years! Thank you and bless you all!!

White light, healing and prayers for Lisa, facing health issues and pending surgery.
Strength for you that will be at her side.
For love, for loss, for journey's and dreams of the future. For my friend, the Commander, who said "no more" to the bullying and bravely resigns today, willing to take that unnchartered journy into unemplyment in this economy.. :pirate-steer: For that love, that peace and kinship with the earth and with another, as I have known to be yours as i have once known. in the past.

"""""One of the most beautiful descriptions I have read concerning Yin/Yang is found in, "Twin Souls," by Patricia Joudry and Maurie D. Pressman....

"Yang is the initiating impulse, which divides and delineates; yin is the responsive impulse, which nurtures and reunites. Without yang nothing would come into being; without yin all that comes into being would die. yang is mental activity in its forceful aspect, yin the imaginative and poetic, exalting the merely mental to the beautiful. yang goes ahead with things, yin contains things within herself and knows their nature without effort. yang does, yin is. Yang in his givingness bestows the gifts; yin in her being receives, preserves, enhances, and redistributes them. Yang constructs, yin instructs; yang implements, yin complements; yang is strength, yin endurance; yang is knowledge, yin the mystery that reveals itself and becomes knowledge. yang is the discoverer, yin lures toward greater discovery. Yang is the self-developer, inspired by yin, the self dedicator, for her development and his dedication. Yang is the lover, and yin is therefore beloved; yin is the beloved and the source of love. Yang is will and yin is wisdom, and one without the other is neither, and together they are joy. Yang is as the day, turning into night, and yin the night preceding the day; the one is the force that drives the waves of the ocean forward, the other the force that draws them back so that they may go forward again."

These are the principles that rule the universe. They are the principles the bring the fullness of relationship into existence.

To have an intimate and loving relationship we need to give the fullness of ourselves and accept the fullness of another.

I light this candle for My Dad. He passed away 4 years ago this past April. I miss him daily.. even more so when the anniversary comes of his death.. his birthday.. Father's Day and every day inbetween. I was blessed to have had him as a parent..something My biological father decided he did not want to be. In the pain of his loss.. let us all remember how blessed we are when we do find people that come into our lives no matter what capacity.. that truly love us unconditionally.

That we let no one take our joy. That we know everything truly does happen for a reason, though we may not know the reason at that given time. That we all realize we are blessed in some way, shape or form.

I say a prayer of thanks for my wife being the human she is as she stopped to help until the calvary rode in. I give a prayer of thanks for her training and knowledge so she could prevent the woman from sustaining further injuries.

I say a prayer for Can_Marie and peace in her soul as she deals with her father's passing.

I light this candle in remembrance of the father of some very close childhood friends.


"I AM NOT THERE

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die."

That we know within who we are and what we mean to those who love us. That we give that love freely in return. That we seek out our purpose here on Earth and fulfill that purpose the best we can. That we always remember that there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel and at the end of that tunnel are people who love and care about us.

Lighting a candle for those who need it today, hoping that it lights your way and guides you on the path thats right for you! :-)

Also lighting this candle for Jack Layton, leader of the NDP political party here in Canada, who died this morning from cancer at age 61 (its the second cancer he's been fighting this year). I may not be into politics but I admired Jack's strength and courage, and thought he was one of the nicest and one of the few most honest politicians who cared about people and fought to make Canada a *MUCH* better country ............. R.I.P Jack, you were taken away from us far too soon but rest assured you will NEVER be forgotten :praying:

So, bridges have been on my mind lately,
http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/24743840.jpg

creating a bridge of support for the self...
to help be connected to healing agents...
people,
furfriends,
god,
the universe,
prayer...candles,
calling someone who really knows you,
nature,
the sounds of the wind, moving water, a whinny,
food and drink that soothes the soul,
music,
reading a favorite poem once a day,
talking with someone who will say it so you can hear it,
a hot soak,
sitting up in a tree,
going to a meeting,
learning how to ask....for a dinner, to take the kids for 3 hours, for someone to go to the store to pick up 10 things you need in the cupboard, but you can't stand the store today,
learning to sit a be still for 5 minutes day,
going for a ride...the choices are endless.

Set up a bridge of support or nourishment for yourself or help someone else figure out what they need, put the tools in place so they are there when you need them they are there, and hopefully the need will happen less if the care for the self is ongoing.

Blessed Be

Candles, and love and light for my daughter Leah, my ex wife Peggie , and the grandest kids Trinity Hope 4, and Dustin Bradley, 5, and Paul. Leah went back with her abusive husband after over a year's separation. They are trying to make a go of it again. We hold our breath again.

Paul is to be stationed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio after this last sojourn in Afghanistan. 2 years ago, they had family counseling and were told it would may be better to divorce. His rages have sent her flying home several times. They are relocating from South Dakota soon. Far away from our arms here in So. Calif. :candle:For the Kidz, big and little.

:candle::candle::candle::candle: and for Peggie, like any Mom, just sits in fear that the next time Leah may not be able to call one of us. We both know what it is like.

I light a A candle for my Ex of 21 years, and a cyber request to think about her and wish her well. :candle:
http://rlv.zcache.com/get_well_candle_card-p137789783331206146tdtq_400.jpg

Peggie called me Friday night asked me to come over Sat.. Said she needed to talk to me. We have chatted over the years since we have been separated, but she never asked me to come over like that.

Spending yesterday with a woman I spent 21 years with, and finding out her news and health is not good was shocking and I am at a loss for words, but come here because I can pour it out. I had picked up my paints and walked away, from her, for both of our survivals. We both kept painting, me of places I traveled, and of of wild ferocious big cats and animals.

She kept painting too. I saw my Ex's beautiful paintings of the daughter we raised. Portraits of Leah when she entered Kindergarten and the most beautiful of her at high school graduation.. Since I had seen Peggie last she has lost so much weight, and looks very ill. Yet, there were many new family portraits. Paintings and the memories of good times, of the flowers I planted in the backyard, and pictures and memories of living in the house we bought together. The memories of the love we once had came flooding back. She had done a self portrait wearing the clothes she had on when we met, with her once long dark hair falling around a beautiful face. She asked if I wanted the sculpture she did of my Mother , which holds the place of honor on the electric organ. She asked if I wanted her portrait.

She asked what she should do with the house, and where she should move, as she is ill and doesn't think she has long to live. She is seeing a cardiologist and a pulmonary specialist. It sounds like she is getting the medical run-around and she knew that pisses me off, so didn;t call me. It was Saturday, they were gone. She said I called you , as you are the only one I trust at the end of my life. You can make these tough decisions. She asked if I could pick up her meds, and get her Coffee Ice Cream. I got her Oreo's and peanut butter and bagels, and nilla wafers, and canned peaches and chocolate milk too, because I know she loves that stuff and is skinny as a rail now.

I sit here, now wishing I had MADE her go to the hospital yesterday, even though she said no. Sit here now, knowing she is more important than the Steelers game that comes on in 3 hours. Knowing I want her to go in the hospital, but her fear of not getting out alive, and leaving her kitty kat at home prevents a rational woman from getting help. I suppose I would be the same way. Knowing that the kids are spread out around the country, her brother is in Tenn. and not having famiy near by must be scary as hell, and having to call the "Rock" as she called me, must have been hard for her. The Rock sits her and wonders what now. (f)

Here is to never setting the bridge on fire to those you once loved, because in the end, you never know what may cause you to travel that road again.

Peg is home, on 4 liters of oxygen, 4 lasix and 4 potassium, with additional 4 of each at night time as needed for fluid in her lungs and legs, etc. I will never smirk at a LIFE ALERT commercial, or I've fallen and can;t get up commercial again. When she did not answer the phone when I called her back, I drove like a demon across the County. She had the portable phone in bed and ....it was dead. I lost one of my 9 lives.:rollcat:

She was almost dead before she called me. Hospital nurse said to me "she didn't realize she was so sick".Peg interrupted , "oh yes I knew, but the doctors would not listen". I knew she was better. Peg told me she has gotten the run around from a Pulmonary Specialist and Cardiaologist for 4 months. They never put her on oxygen..she neeeeeeded it desperately, and they shuffled her from one to the other.

I am now taking her to theseeeeeee doctor's next week, and am going to see what others are in her HMO. &^%$$#$%^^*** is all I want to say about that. She is pink again, home and now knows my middle name and what kind of car she owns... Phew. with Freedom Kitty :ballcat: who she said I spoiled in 4 days..hmmmph

She has asked me to be medical proxy and power of attorney, so I can make Those decisions and talk to the doctor's~~Then deal with her kidz....all out of state. :praying:

I have only been in here to read and haven't really posted anything in quite some time.
Today I come here with a heavy heart and tears for one of my brothers.
First let me explain, I have a brother, who I've always called my special needs brother. His first 13 years of life, he had 13 operations. He has also survived 3 heart attacks. He has lived with a Urostomy for as long as I can remember. Doc said if he lived to 21, he'd be lucky and he'd never be able to have kids. Well, he's 46 and has 3 beautiful girls that came along late in his life as they are all under 8. Anyhow, a couple of hours ago as I traveled back home from a vet visit that takes 3 hours now, he called me. He's been in the hospital a few days for the second time this month. Today he was diagnosed with Metastatic Colon Cancer (he'll have another operation for a Colostomy) I didn't know what it was until I looked it up. What I found out, was that the survival rate is not good even with treatment. I have 5 brothers and only 2 I really love and care about. My brother Peter happens to be one of them. All I can do is pray that he gets better instead of worse. I have no idea what stage his cancer is even in. Never once in all his years on this earth, did I ever think about him not being a part of my life or my family.

Please pray with me for Peter. That his pain and suffering will be as gentle as possible on him. Also, for his upcoming operation to go smoothly.

Today I go a Charger's game. Today she is on oxygen and lasix. Today, tell someone you love them.

She is so much better. I spent the day looking at pictures of our family, our relationship of 20 years, our first car, our first home. She laughed at my hippy look and hair. I laughed about her first Thanksgiving turkey that was raw when I cut it. We went out for dinner that year. We reminisced and smiled about a once beautiful love, that brought us together. In the twilight of the day, Peg made me vanilla tea, and we dunked spice cookies. We didn't speak of our breakup, or where we went wrong. She stroked my leg and I her hair. We talked about the crypts we bought so long ago, and laughed when the kids said that was weird. Last night, we both decided a ceremony at sea is where we both want to be.

We talked about her last wishes, looked at the Living Will and Advanced Directive.. Last night we couldn't fill it out. Maybe on my next visit, maybe Nancy, RN, the Home Health Nurse that will visit her today can do it. We just couldn't. Maybe never. I drove home with tears, and an ache deep inside . She may get better, but never well.

Tommi, I sit here with tears running down my face after reading your last heartfelt candle posting. I feel the love the two of you had and still do, only in a different way than before.

I praise you to the Universe and far and wide for being the person that you are. A love like that is so very rare. I know you two moved on, but you are a very special individual and so is she. Just because people separate does not mean the love they shared was not real, did not exist and cannot exist in another form. You two are proof.

Universe, send healing, light, love and protection to Peggy and Tommi. Send miraculous healing whether it be literal or figurative. I ask that You let them know they are loved and safe.

To my grandson who has begun cutting as a way of trying to control SOMETHING in that chaotic life, I pray for help .

May the Higher Power who has come back into my life guide me and give me strength, direct my thoughts, my words, and my actions.

Tommi & Peggy! My lil candle isn't fancy or colorful BUT the meaning is a huge as the universe...much love and empathy for you. I walked your path...2 and a half years ago...so I can understand how devastating and heartbreaking this has all got to be...
My wife & I had had 15 wonderful years, working towards that "forever", and never thinking of the "what ifs". The world turns on a dime and life, as we know it, can tumble upside down, inside out, and do a complete 360...and we shall never, ever be the same afterwards! However, what I did take away from the 26 months battle we fought together...is that I do not sweat the small stuff any longer. The other thing is that no matter what plane we each reside on...love is love..everlasting...and that will never change. Memories are etched forever in my heart..and no one can ever take those. Hold yours close inside and when you are down, or lonely, or hurting...let them sustain you...
It took me almost a month for her to sign the final papers...her "5 Wishes"...ordering the cremation urn, and facing the fact we HAD to do those wishes. That was so very difficult, so I understand your space on not wanting to be there when she signs them. Unless one has walked in those moccasins, it is so damn hard to fathom! My wife said when she signed the last one, she felt like she had signed for her lease on life to end...it devastated me..to know she was afraid...and that I couldn't do a thing to stop the outcome...and while I can't know the depth of YOUR pain, I DO KNOW that pain, my friend!!! All I can say is I am here for you, my friend, and I send you hugs and warm white energies...my heart breaks for you...it is so much harder for the one left behind...I know...I walked that path.....so come on, Tommi....walk it not alone....Clay

Blessings and Light to those that float, fly and cry. Finding love where you least expect it, and knowing that life is so very precious, send love across the miles. I have spent a week with a very sick Ex of mine who has been putting together a photo album for the two kids and 4 grandkids, and ME We spent 21 years together, had many great trips, adventures, animals and memories. Peg is ill, and I want her better, I want her in those hot pants, and thigh high boots, long hair flowing as we danced the night away 20 + years ago. I want her well, hell with the hotpants.

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc259/Irish_Heart/BEACH/Beacon.gif

My Ex may get Viagra. Will that make her frisky I wondered as I sat in the corner chair watching him. Apparently one of the side effects helps with congestive heart failure, or pulmonary hypertension or something, I missed the punch line :)

Okay friends, I need a transport angel..Candles may be dangerous around me, so please light them for me. :moonstars:

Learning to travel with rockets in the car. Those green oxygen cylinder's last two hours (because she is on 4 liters) , so, three in the car get us from Peg's house in Anaheim, to St. Joseph's medical area in Orange.

First one ran out as I was getting her INTO the car from the first appointment, I switched to the new tank, put the valve on backwards, and the rush of oxygen out of the side of it made such a whoosh. That stuff is under a lot of pressure..Phew..::|

The Ex and I made it to the first of many Doctor follow-ups. Yesterday was the Pulmonary Specialist, this afternoon Primary Care, Friday AM at the Eye Surgeon follow-up, Monday afternoon, Cardiologist. Lung Doc has oredered VQ, pulmonary function, and sleep apnea. Said heart may not be as bad as thought, and this could be heart/lung , blood supply related.

I am off to work before this afternoons appt.Zoom zoom zoom

I want to die like James Dean. :harley:...Hmm I sold my motorcyles last year.

...I can only say that I hold you in such high esteem for being so there for Peggy. You hold those 21-years that you both shared, in your heart and in the end; it doesn't matter what ended the romantic aspect of your relationship but the deep and abiding love that you clearly share towards each other.

I can only hope that I would be as big a person to lay aside my hurts from the past, if my ex of 19-years needed me in the same way.

Regardless, I will send positive energy and will visualize you both surrounded by a bright, white light of healing and love.

The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

I have an outstanding student who I look forward to talking to after class about everything from soccer to science fiction. He's a bright, thoughtful, responsible student, father, husband and coach, and I see he has a lot to give the world. But his life has taken a very different turn in the last few weeks.

In tournament play a couple weeks ago, he suffered a mild concussion after a collision with another player. He didn't lose consciousness, and he seemed fine. So he continued to play.

A week later, another player's swinging leg made full contact with his head. This time he did lose consciousness. And since that concussion, he's gone steadily downhill. His depth perception has been changed. He's been more disoriented, nauseous and unable to focus or adjust to bright lights.

I'm lighting a candle for him. He had a hard enough beginning, and I want him to have his health and life back and have a chance at something more once again.
