Deanna, I want to personally thank you and quite a few others here, including, but not limited to Waxnrope, JustLovelyJenn, the ever kind and lovely Lady Pamela, NYCfemmebbw, Spirit Dancer, Tommi, my friend Wolfy and Jesse, Durrrrr, just to name a few....for all of the support, love, thoughts, prayers and healing energies sent to my little Ivan, Myra and myself during this horrid time that Ivan's been sick. :bunchflowers::heartbeat:
I've never felt alone, during this entire time, thanks to you all standing stalwartly behind me, every step of the way. I thought I was going to lose Ivan, more than once, and that tends to make someone feel very alone and sad. I've felt you all, in my heart, and I've felt the strength coming through in giant waves from you all, especially during those times when I'd be standing helplessly by, watching my precious Ivan as he gasped and grimaced from pain. I don't know as I would have ever had the strength or courage...or faith....to push on and to take a chance that Ivan would pull through, but I did, and Ivan did....with YOUR help. It's funny that I can do the job I do and manage to detach myself from the emotional part of it, even when humans are concerned, yet when faced with watching the suffering of my little frog and possibly losing him, I have just turned to a puddle of tears. Ivan's just a little frog, and I've seen some people here in r/t roll their eyes and tell me "That's a $20 frog...go get another one.", but he's MY IVAN and he's got a huge personality and a strong will to fight. He wants to live and he's determined to stick it out until he's well. I feel that from him, like he's saying "Don't count me out and by G-d, don't give up on me!!". Well, we haven't and won't give up on him. I know I couldn't do this without you all behind me, sending that strength and energy. I thank you all for that, one and all. Deanna, I especially thank you for all the encouragement and support. You are such a kind and wonderful woman. I think you must be one of G-d's angels, sent down to us, that we hear about in faith circles, etc. I'm not religious, in any way, but I consider myself to be very spiritual. I have a strong distaste for organized religion, though I was raised Southern Baptist. My faith is strong, though, because after nearly 22 years in health care, I know there is a power higher than ourselves. I believe in G-d. Oh, and Ivan is resting comfortably here at home today. He's in The Big Frog House with Myra now, chilling out on the floor, behind the waterfall, sleeping. I'm leaving him alone, keeping things quiet and peaceful, and allowing him to get used to being home again. Tonight he'll be back up sitting in the waterfall, beside Myra, and everything will be right in "frogland" again. Ivan still has a blockage going on, but it looks like things are moving through a little at a time, very slowly. That's okay. I have a couple of antibiotics to give to him and I'll be having him soak in a nice warm calcium bath in the evenings. I'm going to make sure that little guy has the very best of care and the very best chance possible to survive this the rest of the way. More than anything, he's going to know that he is loved and supported by not only his dad, but by many, many friendly supporters who are cheering him on!! :winky::frog::heartbeat: Thank you all so much. (f) ~Theo~ :bouquet: |

We are small but we are mighty; we are from around the globe. We light the flame from one another and a prayer goes out, together in Unity it is heard. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...ayercircle.jpg |
Today R is a little uncomfortable
She had a needle stuck in her hip bone to check her bone marrow She starts her chemo on the 13th I took a 21 inch pony tail she cut off and sent it to Locks of Love today |
My devotional candles are burning for:
The sick The poor The needy The homeless The unemployed The people who grieve openly or privately The children of the world Those who have lost faith Those who have no hope The world leaders, politicians, and those who have power of people The doctors, scientists, and researchers finding cures for various cancers, HIV/AIDS, and so on Peace be with you all, Drew |

Update from my Sister on Facebook a bit ago about mah Niece: "watches in awe the progress her daughter makes each day. To come through against the odds, to continue the physical battles of her still frail and weak body....sheer inspiration and courage. She is now rid of most tubes protruding from various parts, sits up almost on her own (not ready to walk just yet) and gains a little more strength each day. Hope to be out of ICU in about a week...or less! =) ♥♥♥ " :praying: :daywalker: |
lighting a candle for those who get lost in themselves and feel truly alone in this world.. they should know there are people there to support, encourage and love them, sometimes when you get lost in yourself, you lose the ability to see those around you... also lighting a candle for all who need it - for strength, for love, for healing & for much needed support... i know i've drawn all of the above from this thread countless times, without leaving words here, so paying it forward is a must for me today - you are all such caring and compassionate individuals, that needs to be said ♥ |
Lighting a candle for my daughter.......<sigh>

I read this online and wanted to share with all of you....like Sylvie, just paying it forward
There are no words I can write for the compassion all of you share here Candle of Hope Four candles slowly burned The ambience was so soft one could almost hear them talking The first candle said "I am Peace" "The world is so full of anger and fighting that nobody can keep me alight" Then the candle of peace went out completely. The the second candle said "I am Faith" "I am no longer indispensable It does not make any sense that I stay awake one moment longer." Then a breeze softly blew out Faith's flame. Sadly the third candle began to speak "I am Love" "People don't understand my importance, So they put me aside. They even forget to love nearest to them. I don't have the strength to stay alight" And waiting no longer the candle of Love went out. A child entered the room where the candles were And saw that three of the candles were unlit. "Why are you not burning?" said the child "You are supposed to stay alight until the very end" And the child was frightened and began to cry. The the fourth candle said "Don't be afraid. I am hope, And while I am burning we can light the other candles" With shining eyes the child took the candle of Hope And lit the other candles. The flame of Hope should never go out from your life, And with Hope each of us can have a life With Peace, Faith and Love. |
Let me leave you with this candle after you've read my previous post
