Away

Thank you everyone for the messages and thank you William for the poem.
We found out yesterday my father's illness has progressed to a very aggressive form of Leukemia. He's going to be treated at a big university hospital a few hours from where we live. Bill and I are going with Mom and will be staying with her as they said Dad could be in the hospital for at least a month.
I'm not sure what will happen or when I will write again but I will be back. I need this. I care about many of you. So many of you are wonderful and I treasure your friendship very much.
Please.. keep us in your thoughts and/or prayers. I knew this would be difficult but I don't think I could fathom just how much.
Sorry for the depressing post but there are a lot of you who have called or written and I didn't want to leave you in the dark or make you think I didn't care.
Love,
Lady Julia

Dear Lady Julia,
Someday we will all face such things. It is part of the cycle of life. You are quite right that no amount of preparation is ever enough. When the hard news hits, it hits hard, like a punch in the gut, leaving it hard to catch one’s breath. Intellectually we know that this will pass, but in our hearts we can only feel the grief.
My prayers are with you, your dear father, and of course, you mother, for whom this must also be a waking nightmare. It is a testament to your wisdom and compassion that you are determined to return here, to your blog, to this community which loves you so, to your legion of friends. We grieve when you grieve as all good friends should. We share. Please accept all well wishes sent your way with the knowledge that this will give you back a little of the breath you now feel sucked away.
Don’t worry about us. We ain’t goin’ anywhere. Whenever you need a little lift, just think of us and smile, feeling how much we care for you in your time of need.
Love,
Arafin
Dear Lady,
You and Your family are very much in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Oh god, life's not been very kind to you lately, has it? Here's hoping it gets better soon....
Thank you for keeping us informed.It's wonderful that you do it even in the bad times.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers- from my heart my very best wishes for you and your family

My sympathies and best wishes for all of you.
We all leave the dawn to face the sunset.
In-between is all we have left
of this life, even if there is more,
either before or after.
Family ties hold us the best,
then those we have chosen
and those who have chosen us.
Mix tears and laughter
and you will have discovered
what the world offers us.
Only caring changes things
and brings color to black and white.
Let there be celebration when
our time comes and we bring
rainbows of fireworks to fill the night.

There isn't anything to add to what Arafin has already said so eloquently.
Dear Lady,
We all face these when our turn comes. I know that what I say will not ease your pain. Keep in mind that we will endure until the end. Your life is still ahead of you. Hold on to the good things that will be coming your way.
All the best LJ. Been thinking and wondering how you were. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

My God be with you and your family doing this difficult time. My prayers are with you and your family.
Will

Thank you everyone for being so kind. You have no idea how much that means to me.
My prayers and thoughts are with you too.
May you still see small beauty everyday, despite the big pain you now confront.
Vic.
good luck, Lady J. You've been such a wonderful person for so many people that i hope You and Your family can benefit from our good wishes, even if it's only a warm feeling that You can imagine from thinking about all the people who wish that they could help You in so many ways.
take care, and thank You for staying online and sharing with us.
